718as Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Hi, Anyone got this. I have Apple car play in the 718 wired via the USB port and wanted to connect my Samsung s22 ultra android phone wireless. Will this do the trick? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks As far as I know ( happy to be schooled ) Porsche don't enable Android Auto on the PCM - I understand there are "diy" approaches to turning it on - but out of the box I don't think it's available. If you currently can't do Android Auto wired then I doubt this will make it available wirelessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
718as Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 oh, I thought it would allow AA irrespective if it was enabled in the PCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Not what you asked and personal take but I don't get the wireless thing, just draining my phone in my pocket, whereas on the wire it's charging. Anyway horses for courses , your car and your rules 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
718as Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 Agree, I just wanted to use AA. If this don't work I will try and get it enabled from my friend on here 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Carlinkit from E**y that didn't work, I then bought the NMAUTOMOTIVE Carlinkit and it worked seamlessly in both my Macan and my 718 with my Samsung Android phone. You plug it into the USB in the arm rest and it connects immediately. You can also plug your phone into it to keep it charged. Only reason I don't use it is I "upgraded" my Android phone to a new I Phone. The NMAUTOMOTIVE version is around £90 and has super support by them. You can have mine for £45 which is cheaper than an E**y Chinese version if you like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
