Ok, sorry I can't help any further. Have you tried with an iphone to see if that connects btw?

iPhone has always worked. I don't use iPhones though so it's no help for me.

Hi all,
first of all congrats for all who activated CarPlay
I have macan 2017 with pcm 4.0, just tried this method as instructed but unfortunately I can’t reach GEM or the engineering menu to complete the process.
I’ve tried all advices car+tuner
nav+media…etc. with no luck.
I have no idea what is wrong, please help.

I found it a bit hard to actually push car+tuner simultaneously, on my PCM it had to be done exacly at the same time. From the "home" screen and I had to hold both buttons for a couple of seconds before entering GEM.

Logo will show up only when you connect your phone and activate CarPlay/AA on the phone too…

It works ! Mistake was not using a ’carplay’ usb cable

thanx

Guys, I managed to install CarPlay! But what about how to install the APP icon? By default my car has no sim card input

Connect your phone with a ’carplay’ usb cable and the icon will show

Yes, I connected it and CarPlay appeared! But I wanted to know what the APP icon is for. My PCM doesn't have it. I don't know if it's worth installing. What is this APP icon for?

I have another type of question. I know it's topic related more to AppleCP, but there no such topic for firmware updates.

I have '17 Macan GTS with PCM 4.0 from US market. PCM is "updated" by use of some kind of MHI2_ER_POG11_K3299 firmware.
Green menu is also different, because it have "localization" made by some local shop (in Poland).

In this case I have two questions:

• Could I install M.i.B without any issues to actual firmware? Could it affect in any way to actual state of PCM?
• Could I update my PCM with some AOI firmware?

Unit works as it should. CarPlay works, I don't have working Porsche Connect or Porsche Track Precision app (WiFi onboard).
Only thing which is not working are RadioStation icons. I've tried to updated RadioDB and Gracenote, but without success (I mean - it was installed, but not change appearance at all).

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.

Hi, did you ever find a solution for this? My 2018 Macan S is doing the same.

Hi All,

I need some help. I updated my firmware and installed the M.I.B to get the green menu and add AA and CarPlay. Everything seemed fine but now I have no sound, it’s a BOSE system.
Has anyone fixed this?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a 2017 Porsche Macan equipped with PCM 4.0. I used the MIB tool to patch the system and theoretically enable Apple CarPlay. The patch process seemed to complete successfully.
However, when I plug in my iPhone, nothing happens — no CarPlay interface appears. The phone does charge, but it shows slow charging. I’m not sure if this is a hardware limitation or something related to the patch.
Unfortunately, I never tested the USB port before applying the patch, so I can’t confirm whether it was functional before 😔.

Are you using an original charging cable? It sounds silly but some cables are just for charging and others have data transfer compatibility
