Hello guys,
I’d like to activate CarPlay also.
Macan 2020.
I have My Porsche account and Porsche connect subscription.
Could anyone help please?

 

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience with @simaservis1108 it was incredibly easy on my 2018 Macan GTS. Sima made it super simple and easy. Cost effective as well compared to the other options. The entire process probably took 30-40 minutes and about 20 minutes of that was in the car with my computer while Sima worked his magic. Awesome guy and couldn't recommend this enough if you don't have CarPlay.

I didn't have a Windows 10 or 11 computer so I went and bought one, then returned it after the install was complete 😁

 

Interested in adding apple car play. 2017 macan gts. New owner and new to forum.

 

How do I get in contact with simaservis

 

You can also bite the bullet and have the dealer do it for you. They will upgrade the steering wheel stalk that will activate Seri
Expect to spend anywhere from 1500 to 2K

 

Took the 2017 Macan S to the dealership to program a new set of LED headlights.

Programing went well; But unfortunately; they did an Auto Software update and in the process deleted Carplay from the PCM that was originally programed by Simaservice1108 2 years ago.

Upon arrival at home, I message him over Whatsapp. It took him no more than 10 minutes to re establish Carplay on the car once again.

I can't thank him enough for the expedited service; and recommend his services to anyone who desires to program CarPlay into their vehicles.

 

Hey has anyone here done the Macan fullscreen Carplay and/or Android Auto mod on their own? I am looking to see if there's any DIY tutorial I can follow along. I know there are vendors out there who provide it for a fee, but $600 is a lottt of money for something that should have been standard.

 

As far as my understanding goes, the method used by these vendors to "unlock" that feature exploits a vulnerability in PCM5 (allegedly the same exploit as the first revision Nintendo Switch) to obtain root access and either flip a few bits to activate hidden features (e.g. enable wireless CarPlay in unsupported regions), or inject some code to get fullscreen CarPlay.
The method is not public as some vendors have built a business around it (which is kind of unethical imho, since the involved tools are open-source software).

 

$600 is not a lot of money when you are able buy a Porsche. Granted, it's odd that it isn't standard. This subject regarding Porsch tech has been beaten to death on this forum. I would've liked Android Auto come with my car but since I'm not overly reliant on my phone I can deal with it. At least there are workarounds for those who must have it.

 

I was super annoyed about this as well and looked everywhere for a DIY solution. Ultimately I payed up and love it. It’s now how it should have come from the factory.

 

Curious, how is the update performed?

 

Sounds like I'll have to cave-in as well! I would have loved to be able to do this on my own though. And yes $600 is nothing on a Porsche, but let's be real, it's as much as what a last gen iPhone would cost, all for resizing something on the screen.

 

Its not 600...Forget what the resellers tell you.

 

What is your fee for 23 Macan upgrade?

 

+1 for simaservis...performed the update today after catering a shopping list of necessary parts to perform the install for me and my 23 macan. Maybe a half hour of very easy to follow instructions and I now have full screen carplay. Very reasonably priced. Great to work with. Highly recommend.

 

@simaservis1108 How do i go about installing car play in my 2017 Macan GTS? Thanks!

 

What do I have to do to find out if my 2018 Porsche Macan has Carplay ?

 

+1 Recommendation for simaservis1108

Couldn’t be happier after using them instead of the Porsche dealership. Saved me over 2k

 

+1 Recommendation for simaservis1108 for me too on my 2019 Macan.
Great job and service.

 

@simaservis1108 hi sima, I’d like to install Apple CarPlay on my 2018 Porsche Macan gts.

 

New forum member here. I’ve been over on the RL Cayenne side, but just picked up a new to me 2017 Macan base. Car does not Nav or CarPlay, but will need to figure out how to get Carplay installed. I pm’d Sima for help. Did my own install on the Cayenne with Joyeauto board, but don’t want to go that route.

 

I didnt get that PM yet

 

new member here. Apparently I can’t PM yet

 

@simaservis1108 hello, new to the form and new owner of a 2018 Macan. I was able to find your email on your profile. Would that be the best method to contact you? I need your expertise in activating Apple CarPlay

 

i responded on email i think,let me know if you got it

 

no, I don’t see anything in my email. I resent through gmail account perhaps that’ll work
