Great product and well made.
Firstly, product came next day and packaging was good. Installation was so easy, anyone can do it if you know how to hold a screwdriver. Soon as you plug it in it works and only used it for 24 hours but works great. Connects instantly and have had no issues as yet. Great product and a must upgrade.

DO NOT BUY, Unable to perform correctly
After buying and testing it out, using an aftermarket camera has been showing voltage shutdown issues on the PCM monitor, it also fails to work correctly after putting a rear camera on where instead of showing the camera it kicks you out of CarPlay and shows the sensors on the original system, have put in the correct settings in the CarPlay system to ensure it knows it has a aftermarket camera but no luck.It has a problem where randomly it will freeze, unable to respond and reset after a solid 1 minute or remains as a black out screen until ignition is turned off and then switch on to reboot it. It is unusable and inconvenient especially when driving, every time to start the car and have to hold the info button where it works sometimes, have tried via the aux option to open CarPlay but again works SOMETIMES.After what felt like the PCM has been fighting this aftermarket system, many trial and error attempts checking through the work done over and over, I decided to remove the CarPlay motherboard and returned to original Porsche system which shows no issues at all and working fine as it should, disappointed to say the least in believing this would work, stay away from this product, I still want my money back for this useless piece of junk.

Good so far
Installed a few days ago with no issues. This is the perfect blend of modernization whilst retaining stock appearance that is so important for resale value.

The perfect addition but a couple small gripes
After enjoying DAB Radio in my other cars, You can imagine my disappointment after purchasing my 2016 Cayenne only to discover it does not have DAB radio option, so after reading up on my options I came across this device. Installation want too bad and everything works great. My only niggles that when you are close to an object, the screen normally shows how close you are to objects, however in android auto, the screen does not switch to it like it does with the reverse camera. The only other complaint is that the steering wheel diamond button does not skip to next track. But all in all, it's the perfect addition and a must for everyone. Sorted my dab issue too. Auto connects to my phone each and every time without fail.

Throughly pleased with the upgrade
I wanted to keep my Porsche 981S looking entirely stock and replacement head units are not an option for me as they tend to look ugly and spoil the cabin.Mine was professionally installed and every aspect works perfectly, complete and seamless integration with my iPhone and a few other features of the unit that I haven't used - e.g mirroring and camera installation options.Highly recommended and good value.

Great modification
Really good to have CarPlay available on the std PCM, and so far it seems to work very well. The installation is quite complex, especially if you have DAB installed. Removing the PCM is OK, although it is a tight fit if your 911 has PDK, you need to put it into drive. Fitting the board is fiddly and the cables are delicate, so could be easily damaged. If you have DAB you need to use all of the risers to lift the CarPlay board to the top. I found the only way to route the cables out of the PCM was to unscrew the DAB connector from the back and squeeze the new cables through the gap. This leaves the DAB connector loose, but it can be reattached, albeit not straight due to cables. Refitting the PCM was difficult. The additional cables meant the unit would not easily push all the way in and there is no space to guide the cables out of the way, but eventually it pushed in. Took about 2 hours in total to fit.

No sound Arghhhhhh
Didn’t have a great experience with this unit , as like a lot of Porsche owners , I wanted to keep the original look but wanted to bring the stereo into the modern era .Installation was quite straight forward and loads of online videos, so total install time around 2 hours and initial thoughts were good BUT then I started to see if all the functionality worked as it should.Connected as stated in the user manual BUT conflicting views from the online support.The issue I had was sound issues not coming out when using either google maps or Apple Maps , also if someone rang they couldn’t hear me, I would suggest this is a conflict between the new board and the PCM.Customer support took 4 days to get back to me on a second query , first time was 24hrs.I’ve now sent this unit back as I couldn’t make it work correctly unfortunately & now gone for another unit which works perfectly.It’s a shame as it looked so good when first installed 🥲

Works perfectly
Been looking at adding Android Auto to my 2012 Cayenne for awhile, other companies want £450 upwards, so was skeptic with this due to the cheaper price if it was going to work, I couldn’t of been more wrong, delivered next day, came with all the bits needed instruction's and video showing how, took about 30mins to install ( you do need a T8 torx screwdriver to take stereo apart), getting ribbons in is a little tricky, works with my aftermarket rear view camera, more than happy with this purchase, would fully recommend getting this rather than the more expensive one and it doesn’t need the extra box to work. Also compatible with CarPlay if I change my phone
