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.

I have just agreed to purchase my first Porsche, very excited!
2014 991 Carrera S with 19k on clock at Porsche Portsmouth.
I had a Macan S on order, but due to the long way had too much time to look at what else could be bought for the same money, so here we are!
I've got to wait a week for it to have a few stone chips/ scratches/ leather touch ups done then should be in it next weekend.
Has anyone put apple CarPlay in theirs? Can you recommend a supplier/ installer (I am not capable of installing it myself)
Here are some pictures
Lovely car, regarding the carplay, yes it's possible with your PCM. The process is a little full on so best left to a shop to do it, as it involves taking unit apart and soldering in the car play unit.
Cost is just shy of £1k and honestly is worth it and I'll be doing it to my 981 (same head unit)

My thoughts exactly, from the advert photos I thought it may be too much, but in the flesh its perfect... I had the same colour combo on my S5, seems to be my type!

Super thank you very much. It really is needed, and that looks like a very slick instal too.
My only slight concern is voiding the warranty by fitting it. May leave it a couple of months in case any niggles come to light with the PCM before doing the upgrade

Always good to wait a couple of months post purchase before any upgrade just to make sure you haven't got a lemon. Though these cars are very strong and don't really suffer from electrical gremlins.
The carplay is completely hidden, and they'd have to open up the PCM to see it. I don't know if you saw but essentially a two second press on the nav button opens up the carplay.
Perhaps a spring present to yourself

Just a heads up on this, the OPCs are aware of the car play retrofits and how they work. They will know if one has been fitted and it will give you grief if you have electrical issues and expect to claim under warranty.
Ask me how I know - 991 GTS which had a PDK controller fault recently...

Interesting... will see how I feel after a few months into ownership

Wow, I love that. Looks superb with the red interior. Congrats!
Regarding phone holders, I got a magnetic one from megamount.co.uk to use on my 981. Seems to work well and is pretty strong.

Just had a look, appears to be same solution as NM Automotive, there are a few other suppliers offering the same.
None of these should require any external box out of the PCM.
Congratulations on your 991S .Great start to a new year.
My experience is that OPCs vary in their attitude to non
Porsche mods.I have had problems with tyre choice and
fitting rad grills.If you have Porsche warranty which Is a good idea it’s worth checking with your OPC

I did ask my salesman and he said any non Porsche mods would invalidate warranty, so I am going to live with the car as is for a few months then weigh up the CarPlay upgrade...
