Well, I renamed the folder but it didn't accept it. View attachment 285907

I have a patch that was sent to me by the MIB creators but it won't let me attach a .rar file. If you can get me your details, I'll send you the file

UPDATE! I solved it. I recopied the folder after renaming it the first time and the folder was emtpy - not sure how that happened. I copied the contents again after renaming the folder K3300 and it worked!

That's great. I also added the Motorola MA1 wireless adapter and it works too.

Just installed M.I.B All-In-One with the firmware update which enabled Android Auto and then updated the maps to the latest version v373 (2024/2025) on a 2018 S. Very easy.
The map update wouldn't work before installing MIB (I've hardware v56).

I didn't leave the car running - just ignition on. I put it on a slow trickle charger but I think it'd have been fine without it.

How did you do the map update? Is there a download somewhere?

Hello,

Would someone be kind enough to help me activate Android Auto on my Porsche Macan S (2016) please?

Version: MHI2_ER_POG11_K3299 0807

Here is my information:

I don't know how to patch, I don't really know what to do, nor which file in concrete to take without causing risks.

If someone with experience could guide me, that would be great or tell me exactly which patch/file I should take please?

What is the most compatible and recommended SD card and what size do you recommend in my case ?

P.S: I also took a network adapter "Ugreen CR110 (USB to RJ45)" if necessary.

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards

You probably be better off paying Sima for his services. The upgrade should be easy and is well explained in the Wiki. But if you are concerned and don’t know how to proceed, that would be my recommendation.

You can PM him here in MF at simaservis1108.

I think this deserves its own thread.

I don’t own a Macan with PCM4.0 (mine is PCM3.1), but my 2018 718 does have PCM4.0 and I was able to activate CarPlay using this DIY in the first 3 hours of ownership…. I was also able to update the Navi Map to 2022 version. Someone already tested this in a Macan with PCM4.0 successfully.

I know there are some folks out there offering CarPlay activation services, using similar or these same tools… but this is a great DIY alternative offered at no cost by the publisher. Instructions are very straight forward and all you need is an SD card.

Prepare M.I.B SD card & install M.I.B

@Santirx Big thanks for your info here. I was able to get the my PCM 4.0 updated with CarPlay and Android Auto. Even got a little USB device to make connect with wireless BT. Also, I was able to bring the Nav map update to 2024/2025.

Hi all,

This looks really interesting, however does anyone know if Porsche Warranty will throw up a fuss?

Thanks

 

[rinomagazu]

i own a macan 2017 with a PCM 4.0 on it and i had installed a retrofit kit to implement android auto. all was good until i brought the car to the porsche assistance and the porsche guys, even if i didn't ask, installed an upgraded software which removed the connectivity features needed to run android auto.
can someone send me the link to the MIB kit for the update and if available a youtube guide for the installation ?

[2018Macan]

Hi and thanks for the add. I'm trying to help a friend with her 2018 Macan w/Bose sound system. Everything is original as far as I know. She was able to send me a pic of this screen. Question is what info do I need and how do I get to it to perform an update? In a perfect world she would end up with an updated GPS, Apple Carplay and Android Auto. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

[Andrea Anto]

Hello all, i cannot download the patches, can someone help me ? The site seems to be down.

found a solution, but when i connect my iphone 15 pro max i have no carplay, neither with the 14 pro and 13 pro max of wife

Have a 2018 S. Did the MIB upgrade to try and get Android Auto working. Everything seemed to update correctly. When I plug my phone in (Pixel 8 Pro), it shows it's connected and asks if I want to use Android Auto (which I reply yes). But nothing happens. It's like the phone isn't connected and can't get any Android Auto functions working.

Went into the service menu and enabled it--wasn't getting it to ask if I wanted to use it before I enabled it--so I think I've done everything I need to do. But just not working.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

 

[GadgetRick]

Checking to see if anyone has suggestions. I've tried different cables as well. Head unit says it's connecting and I tell it to use Android Auto but nothing happens. It just ignores that I connected the phone.

Hello I just performed this update on my 2018 Macan S.

<GEM 4.12s> Carplay activation check coding screen says carplay is ON.

Software version MHI2_US_POG11_P4151 1097
hardware version 054

The car gives prompt ‘Connect your phone via USB to use apple Carplay’. But connecting my phone does nothing, car does not recognize phone. (USB only charges phone).

I tried several different cables and iphones. Any ideas?

Think im going to try a wireless dongle next to confirm if ive been using power only USB cables.

 

[GadgetRick]

Having the same problem. Can't get anyone anywhere to respond to this question. I've tried on the various videos I've seen explaining how to do the update. I've tried in different groups on FB and here. Nobody has any answers on why this won't work even though it shows as if it updated correctly.

 

[Guzami77]

I just fixed mine and got it working. My issue was the data files within each PATCH folder didn't get copied on the SD card.

Im in DC area, willing to hand over my ready to go SD card for the price of card and inconvenience. ie come get it for $10, or I can meet you for a reasonable offer.

 

[handerek.tomasz]

So the AA works great.
Can someone provide me how to update maps ?
Where did you get the 2024maps from ??
Are there European mapa available??
Appriciate any help

 

[Japs]

I had asked about the update and some files but I found it on the M.I.B website and managed to download it! Let's hope the update works and then I'll tell you! So far without CarPlay

 

[GadgetRick]

I have still not gotten anyone anywhere to answer questions about how to get it to work. Got it to load but, when I plug in phone, it recognizes it and asks if I want Android Auto on, I tap yes and nothing happens.
