It wanted authorisation to use car play again which I think was a phone software update.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2019 Cayenne. Car play is great but you have to plug it in. No more! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224339221969 I bought a Carlinkit v2.0 for £88 of Ebay ( the same box is sold for upto about £130 on Amazon and other Ebay listings). Installation took about 1 minute, and then another minute to update the software. When you enter the car it now connects on the last screen you were looking at on CarPlay - so if you had Spotify playing it just starts playing the list where it left off.

Is it reliable? I watched pretty much every independent review of these different wireless kits and invariably they all went into meltdown after a while, getting slower and hanging etc?

OPOGTS said: Is it reliable? I watched pretty much every independent review of these different wireless kits and invariably they all went into meltdown after a while, getting slower and hanging etc? I have one too (in fact two) No problems so far, though the Porsche unit gets its knickers in a twist every now & then (even without the CarLink unit)..... Works perfectly in my 2018 Audi though....

POST 4Original post

Anyone else got experience with this? I’m hugely tempted but some of the YouTube reviews are still putting me off…..

POST 5Original post

Yep, I have it to link to the head unit, works really well, would recommend.

POST 6Original post

Ditto works in My porsche 991.2, AudiA3 and VW T6

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Mine is still working. Didn’t connect one day and I rebooted the phone. It wanted authorisation to use car play again which I think was a phone software update.

POST 8Original post

Can I ask if there is any mods to the PCM? Porsche units are notoriously fickle and I don't want to upset the unit.

POST 9Original post

Ok chaps, I took the plunge. So far so good, really impressed how integrated and professional it is. No delay or lagging, instant connection, great - fingers crossed it carry’s on!
