This is hands down the best and easiest tutorial I've seen for this mod, other than paying for someone else to do it! Thank you for doing this!

 

Wow! Thanks for sharing this awesome solution! Definitely worth the wait!

Going to try this next week, and definitely look forward to the PIWIS confirmation of no error codes!

 

I’ll try to connect PIWIS and check for codes tonight/tomorrow.

 

thanks so much for doing this! any chance that you can make it customizable to pick the resolution? IE: if I wanted the just about full screen carplay, but still want to see the left Porsche menu.

also is there a way to make a "reversal tool" as well in case we don't like it?

 

I added a "Windowed Full Screen" mod to the site which installs the older "full screen" mod that still shows the top and left menu bars.

The mods do include uninstall scripts and directions on how to run the uninstall instead of install.

 

Wow, fantastic!

 

Thank you, is there also a DIY to enable wireless carplay to 2019 PCM’s that have wired carplay?

 

Do you know if the 2019s all have the Wireless CarPlay hardware and just need it enabled in software? If so, yes, it is doable. I have been talking with MH2p Toolbox about porting all of that functionality to this easier method!

 

I paid to get full-screen wireless Carplay configured by a user on another forum. It involved acquiring some USB ethernet adapters and a bunch of instructions to perform on a laptop, while communicating over WhatsApp. I was pleased with his service and the result. But this method seems a LOT easier, not to mention that it saves a good bundle of money. You are DEFINITELY providing a service to the community with this write-up. Much appreciated!

 

This is incredible! Amazing work CarmineS!

 

wow!

This only works on PCM5? How can we determine what version we have.

Thanks.

 

I know 2019 & 2020 have PCM5. I believe 21-23 also have it, but I’m not positive.

 

Just did this to put mine into full full screen mode, works great. Also I edited my original post and linked it to this post!

 

I just updated the ModKit to further simplify the on-vehicle installation process. Updated instructions are on the site. Simply insert the SD card with the MH2p powered on and wait for the prompt to "Please remove update media"; mods installed!

 

Hey CarmineS. I'm having trouble setting up the SD Card. I downloaded the mh2p sd modkit and extracted the files to my SD Card. No problem there. And then I downloaded the Windowed Carplay and right clicked on the zip file and extracted it to the MOD folder that was extracted from the modkit. So is that it? Thanks. I'm a newbie and just don't want to screw up my 23 Macan S with 8200 miles.

 

@CarmineS
Will this also get Android Auto working?

 

I believe it should change Android Auto to full screen? I need someone to test that and can make some changes if it does not currently.

 

great work @CarmineS @UncleMacan @FlyPenFly - this is awesome

if you can port the rest of the functionality that would be great. this will make android auto full screen however. it doesnt do the activation for android auto yet, i dont think, not without the rest of the mib toolbox.

 

You can confirm Android Auto is full screen with this? I have been in talks about porting the rest of MH2p Toolbox. lprot may host those mods on Yandex as some parts contain (modified) binaries from MH2p that could get taken down on GitHub.

 

What’s a “windowed full screen”?

 

The old “full screen” where the top and left bars are still visible. Some people prefer it!

 

Thanks for sharing this. My 22 model did not have the SD card reader. It only has two USB-C slots in the arm rest console. I confirmed this install will still work with a USB stick set up the same way as the SD card instructions.

This process has me thinking of more mods that's I'd like. I wonder if it's possible to change the color of the car displayed with the overhead camera view? Our car is blue, not silver.

 

That’s a mod I’ve thought about adding! And one to have the overhead automatically open when the car goes into reverse! Instead of needing to open it from the side with the arrow every time.

 

I followed instructions above and trying to install on my FY24 and I get following error.

looks like PCM on newer versions is slightly different.

 

It will work, looks like your SD card is not setup quite right! This update is not installed through the PCM UI’s software update.

If it is setup right, the PCM will automatically reboot when you insert the SD card. If you used macOS to setup the SD card, check the additional notes I added to the instructions. MacOS automatically adds files to the SD card that interfere with the update. If you used Windows, double check all files are where they should be. On the root of the drive, you should have Data, Logs, Meta, Mods folders. Inside the Mods folder, you should have a folder with the files for the mod you chose inside. Let me know if you need any more help.

 

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing. Would this activate Android Auto?(wired or wireless, doesn't matter) My 2019 Macan only has wired carplay.

 

Android auto activation can be added as a mod. MH2p Toolbox includes that functionality and porting it would be pretty easy. I don’t have a good way to test it works though.

 

Amazing. All you who contributed to releasing this for the community are true gentleman and scholars. @CarmineS @UncleMacan @FlyPenFly Many thanks. Please share all your Venmo's or CashApp's to let us all pitch in an buy y'all a coffee or a round of your fav. 👍🙏

Can't wait for wireless AA. Hopefully soon, otherwise I'm gunna have to get a spare iPhone. Haha.

 

Thanks for the offer! I'm intentionally doing this for free to help the community!

The best thing you can do for me is to spread the word that this is easy to do and freely available! Also, getting some other people making mods would be very cool. Access to the MH2p is wide open so the sky's the limit on what people can make!

 

I keep getting a message of "DATA INCOMPATIBLE".

Yes on a MBP.

I tried at first doing the command-shift-period but I guess it’s not “cleaning” the media well enough. I was seeing only 2 greyed out files. Last try so finally downloaded the software (BlueHarvest) you gave a link to. Cleaned the SD…. Back to the car…
re-inserted…. Working right now. Updating…. Read manifest files…. (like scary MS-DOS from the 80s) Screen asked to Removed media….. screen Restarted. Progress Bar showed up and progressing. After, all black screen 6s or so ...and the Porsche logo came back. Whew! Screen back to normal and loaded its normal infos. Connected phone via USB and CarPlay is WIDE!!!

Works! Thanks CarmineS.

Deep inside I was hoping it would connect wirelessly, but I guess it only says "full screen CarPlay".

 

Yes, the auto update process is a bit weird... definitely not meant to look pretty and be used by the public!

Wireless CarPlay could be added with a different mod ported from MH2p Toolbox if the hardware exists.

 

This might help those on Macs that doesn't know (familiar) w/ file name structures. So in short, you place the "mod" you like (windowed or not) inside the [Mods] folder.

 

Thank you. Very helpful. Mine doesn't have the sub folder PCM_CarPlay... and it has 2 extra files besides the ones listed below the PCM5_CarPlay....
I must be an idiot. Will try again.

 

@CarmineS You're an absolute boss, worked flawlessly on our 2021. Many thanks.

 

Amazing work and look so much easier than what I did two weeks ago with more advanced tool kits. I'm actually still trying to fix some of the inadvertent changes with that process (e.g. nav and radio not working properly). Despite those problems, having full screen carplay is worth it!

 

Are you able to add VIM also?

 

Are you referring to video in motion? People play videos on their Macan head units???

 

Had to create an account just to say a HUGE thank you! This was literally the one thing about the car that bugged me the most. Having it full screen makes the display look so big compared to how it was prior. Looking forward to seeing what else you/other modders are able to accomplish with this!

One thing I think would be great to add is having the top down camera show up automatically when putting the car in reverse. It is real annoying having to hit the arrow every time.

 

That is also a pet peeve of mine on the car. Maybe I can make a mod for that soon!

 

I feel this thread should be pinned
