Apple Carplay fitted to my 981 Boxster
Discussion
Yes, correct NM auto website and price as in link above.
Give Sexstons a call if interested, it's 4-hours labour, there are risks as the PCM come out and gets opened up but they have done large number of installs and best compliment I can say is that I could not see that they had been in my car.
Incidentally iOS13 comes out Sept and car play looks and performs much better on that.

I'm running iOS13 beta 2 on my 8 plus and it's pretty stable as-is.

really tempted to get this for Android auto on my 981, I've got 2019 maps and online services but its still pants.
Hmmm... confused...I was watching a review of new 8 series the other day. Apple CarPlay in the dash, but the app to download the door key could only be used on an android phone, not Apple.
So, if this thread is about Apple CarPlay, how can you "get this" for Android? I've not researched this whatsoever but surely Apples is Apples and not for Android? Have I missed something?
By the way... I have an android phone and an Apple MacBook. My phone's away being repaired by Samsung (battery expanded, pushing the case back off) and so I've borrowed an old iPhone of my wife's. Who would buy such a thing... It's horrible to use!

The remote key to unlock the car only works with Android phones at present. Crazy eh. Still I find it easy to as the fob that comes with the car, why complicate things.

the Android version is a different product and is shown at the bottom of the page. shown as "coming soon" though and not yet priced.HighwayStar said:

I agree, but have you seen the size of the 8 series key!?, here: https://youtu.be/w5ln_-A3aw0?t=620GTSMarky said:
Interesting - lack of Car Play in my 981 was the prime reason I was looking at the 718..
This updates the 981 brilliantly..
It does but its circa 800-900 when fitted, and I do wonder if the Apple Carplay/Android Auto software on the installed device will update over time or if your going to be stuck with the same version. This updates the 981 brilliantly..

It says compatible with iOS 12 and upcoming iOS 13, so sounds like it should be good for a few years of updates anyway.AJB88 said:

Good point about the update & to be honest we rarely use the stereo so it's really for the sat nav/google maps via iPhone option as the in car Porsche nav is a bit last century as we all know.
Will definitely think about this..
Any videos of this working with the PCM functionality? I wonder if this would prevent an OPC/indy from diagnosing faults on PIWIS?
Curious to know if anyone has done this with a 987; the website says from 2012 but presume that does not include 2012 Caymans as 981 Boxster released Feb but Cayman was Feb 13.

Yes... click on the link in the 3rd post in the thread. Step through the photos and there’s a demo vid there...Curious to know if anyone has done this with a 987; the website says from 2012 but presume that does not include 2012 Caymans as 981 Boxster released Feb but Cayman was Feb 13.
