It’s USB only for connection to CarPlay. I would keep BT on all the time so you have a connection if you do not use CarPlay all the time.

On a side note, I love my ventilated seats! So happy Porsche offers them. Can’t understand why *anybody* would choose the standard seats.

Me too. Except I like Alcantara

Me, too. Except I like ventilation. Maybe Porsche will offer a hybrid alacantara with ventilation...I would pay for it!

USB only on P-cars. BMW offers BT for their CarPlay.

Unfortunately so. I’m curious whether the new Panamera and Cayenne PCM allows To use BT to connect to CarPlay.

So I am trying the OP's approach to installing Apple Car Play. My car came with Navigation. The dealer is trying to force Voice on me. It is my understanding from the OP that he used Siri and did not install Voice. Did that approach subsequently work?

Yes. To call up Siri all you need to do is push the white round icon on the bottom left screen to activate Siri. VC makes it a tad more convenient right at your left finger tip.

Sure it works without VC - thought I said that in my first post. Still some confusion with the dealers based on what they are telling you. Thanks to John for his great picture of the screen - only thing I can add is that just touching the white button doesn't activate Siri...you have to hold your touch for a second or 2.

So if you want to listen to Sirius XM while you're using CarPlay, do you have to do it with the Sirius XM app and then use your iPhone data?

..you have to hold your touch for a second or 2.

The same for the VC button, at least 1 second.

Short answer is no. If you have SAT, you switch to SAT on car. I have MLB package on my iPhone. I can listen on CarPlay via MLB app and also on SAT radio. My MLB audio/video is free on T-Mobile so I have used both the app and SAT.

Interesting, thanks! Need to wait to see how well Waze works with it once iOS 12 comes out!

I have read that folks have had issues ordering Voice Control - thought it was ordered but car delivered without it or thought it was part of Nav option and it really wasn't - search the forum for discussions regarding this. I'd just make sure option code QH1 is on the order.

Purchased part 95B-044-900-07 directly from my local Porsche dealer - ordered on a Wednesday, arrived at the parts counter from Atlanta the next day. Invoice $621.43 plus sales tax of $51.27 - total $672.70

Here is the part for the CarPlay. Now I need to find a dealer that knows how to activate this software.

Waze works ok with CarPlay. Both Google Maps and Waze updated apps came out this week and I've been playing with both, I prefer Waze for the object and police warnings. I'm using it almost every drive to play with the differences. Trying to get used to talking to it for submitting warnings.

I'm not sure but if you go to the Suncoastparts website below and enter your VIN#, you will have your answer.

Thanks. That page shows that the part is only for 2017 and newer. Guess I'm SOL for now.
