How are the fans under the screen?
Do they blow a little, as before or not at all?
Can you show a quick video with a paper to show the result?

‘any chance to explain how to change the « android » boot image and the black gold label on the right screen?

They seem to blow just fine to me. I'll take a video later with paper to show.

I was provided a new update from ACAR for the boot image and also updated the black gold on that update.

Black gold means dirty money and it's awesome to me but turbo s looks nicer!

I probably would have too !! great opportunity....but my unit is already ordered. Install wont happen till December for me

Good afternoon, can you let me know approximately what price range for labor to expect on install of this unit?

You should be able to do it by yourself.
it took me 1.5h but nearly 45min to try to put the wires properly behind the screens.
a long as you know how to unmount the old one and do not need to do crazy stuffs like re-wiring or installing the 360 camera, it’s very easy. I did it and I am not a mechanic at all

Thanks, the vote of confidence is always welcome! The video did look a little daunting with all of the spaghetti wiring, but seems that patience pays off!

More space than the previous unit but still tight.
i recommend to not screw the pipes to allow putting most of the big wires behind the middle section of the pipe.
I am sure we can all provide additional photos or videos if needed.
if a mechanic does it, he needs to know Macan and follow the process. Maximum 2h of work should be paid

I agree. Not rocket science. And you hit the nail on the head with your comment, patience.

I agree with @Max75. Don’t bolt in the ducts until quad connector is behind it… it won’t fit otherwise. Then the rest will go in with ease.

It looks daunting, but if you break the installation up in sections, then is easy.

I found out the password for this option: 5678
But I can’t find the place where to copy the new file.
if you can help, that would be great.

Unfortunately the seller seems to don’t want to reply anymore !!!
Perhaps they did not like my honest review of their product. It was the same as you guys: Acar

You can’t change the black gold 2nd screen without an update file. It may be unit specific as well, not sure.

At the end of the video from santirx, we can see he was able to change it (boot screen and black gold from the 2nd screen).
some explanations are welcome 🙏

 

[nickteezie]

Yeah, curious how do you make Porsche logo show up on the boot screen?

 

[Santirx]

I will ask @Teddis and @tallkyle to explain. I didn’t make that modification myself….

 

[Teddis]

Loaded jpeg to usb,any jpeg......... point boot screen change to usb, baaaam

I tried it but impossible to find the place to paste the files or to detect a usb from the boot screen app

 

[Teddis]

@Max75 , you have the ACAR unit ?

 

[Max75]

@Max75 , you have the ACAR unit ?

Yes.
I tried to options:
1) from the boot image parameters but I can only see the current boot images and no option activable to access usb
2) the file system but I guess I need to copy the files to an hidden folder which I can’t see

so stuck with the 2 options.
I can take photos if you want

 

[Teddis]

settings wheel, boot screen change, 5678, magnifying glass, point at usb that has jpeg on it

You cannot change "black gold" this way. This requires two .bin files from Manu. Almost 2Gig in size,

It’s a binary from a full new system? 2gig can’t be just for a back screen image

 

[Teddis]

thats correct.
