Shame it doesn't look like it can integrate with the built in USB in cubby. I wonder if that's something they could do in the program or firmware update. As the pcm has access to that port.

Still looks like it uses AUX but not in the same way as old which required the dummy plug? How is the install compared to the other ones with external box? Looks like you have to move the MOST cable to there loom.

Yes, I saw that. I wrestled yesterday with the thought of cancelling the order, I actually almost press the order cancellation button twice, but ultimately decided to give it a try. If it is not what I need I can either leave it in place and sell the other module, or sell this one as “almost” new after the test.

Can you explain the blanking plug? If it's not plugged in does audio not work?

Is the wiring side of things the same on this mobo replacement vs the one you fitted? Specifically moving over the MOST cable?

I’m not sure what you are referring to with the blanking plug. Can you elaborate?

For your second set of questions, the MOST fiber wire needs to be connected directly to the head unit. The reason you move it is because there is a harness that you have to install between the head unit and the OEM harness.

Hence, you need to relocate the MOST fiber wire from OEM harness plug to the provided harness plug so that it is directly connected to the head unit.

To answer your question, YES… I did this with my currently installed system too.

Ah okay.

Ignore blanking plug comment. I see further up you said audio doesn't work without it being plugged in

Oh, I see what you are saying. Is that dummy plug.

The answer to that question is, audio through AUX will not work without the plug. Audio through PCM USB will still work.

The way I’m using the CarPlay module, I connect the phone through wired PCM USB for audio. But then connect to CarPlay wireless through WIFI to transmit image. Hence, I have the CarPlay image, but audio is pass through PCM USB digitally (no DAC though AUX). Is the best compromise I found to be able to use CarPlay while preserving digital audio.

The drawback is that I need a procedure during startup. I can’t connect the phone until after the CarPlay is connected through WIFI. Then, once I connect it, I select iPod in the PCM (instead of AUX) and then go to the CarPlay screen.

Also, I don’t have audio from apps (like Waze or Apple Maps). Only Google Maps is able to transmit audio.

Good compromises. Work for me.

Can you explain the process in details? The only way I made it to work is when I turn on the PCM and set it to FM and let phone connect to carplay without any actions on my end - this way I get FM+Carplay. My manipulations with sound via USB (iPod) ended nowhere as any time I see carplay on the screen audio switches to AUX. This may have something to do with FM being default option.

Received today. Hasn't got off to the best of starts.

1. I have damaged one of the vents trying to remove it (it was super stiff and I gave it my all, and it slipped and broke some tabs on the fins inside the vent)
2. I have a module inside my pcm3.1 which means I need to order more standoffs 2 per corner
3. Whilst I was testing my 2 per corner method the first stand off just snapped odd in the hole when I was screwing it in by hand.

Hoping the standoffs I have ordered will arrive tomorrow I can complete install and report back.

Check the vent. Vent fins may just be dislodged from their slots. That happened to me once and was able to get them back in place.

Mine is still in transit.

Managed to save one of the two vents by swapping bits over to make one of them functional again.

Now only need to buy one vent instead of two.

Let me tell you the video on YouTube of someone removing a vent on a macan must be fake or vent was already pulled. They make it look like they give it a gently tug, so gentle in fact, it made me think there may have been some sort of tabs (there's not).

Highly suggest either buy the official tool or maybe a decent long pick/hook set will do

Agree @Don16 with the vent. Is very hard to take out. What I did, after I took it out, I placed the tool where I was supposed to be pulling from (top back side corner of the vent) and marked the tool at the exact depth, for future reference to ensure I’m pulling from the right place.

Since I did that, I had been able to take it out a couple of additional times without any issues.
