I waited and like I said eventually

Don’t do anything until it tells you to remove the update media. If nothing was installed, you don’t have your chosen mod copied to the Mods folder correctly. Check the instructions.

I think your right. I thought the mods were already in the mod folder. I have added them and will try again

Thanks. I have another year under warranty, just want to play it safe. This is a great feature that your are sharing. While I knew the Macan screen was a little anemic it didn’t really set in until I got my wife a new car with wide screen display. Now my Macan screen looks really anemic. Thanks again.

I have the same worry but basically confirmed it throws no codes. So scanning the car for service wouldnt find anything. And at worst the would simply flash the software back to stock; a code popping up is generic and they arent going to waste time on that.

And in the worst case the only thing not covered is if your PCM broke. Which then, they aren't going to task someone to go into the code and see the mod if the unit is dead. That is not cost-effective and not really realistic.

I took the risk. I think it is realistically under 1% of being a real issue.

Thanks for your response. I’m not tech savvy enough to understand all the language, but I definitely want the finished product. I have a friend who will help me set it up

 

[Mleibrock]

Thanks all and especially CarmineS for all your coding work! This is a thing of beauty!

I just did this as a full screen (no Porsche icons on the left) and it worked amazingly well. formatted the card, moved the toolkit over, then I added the mod to my mod flder.
started car
inserted SD card
waited....nothing...nothing...lights flicker, screen reboots...nothing ...nothing...then engineering mode for a LONG time. was afraid it had gotten stuck-probably about 2 mins maybe more. then quick flashes and a few more reboots each time back to engineering screen. finally I'm sitting there waiting and I realize it says remove media while still in engineering screen. I do that...it sits for a LONG time then reboots with a progress bar that seemed like it was taking forever. then a small popup flashed quickly along the top border that says HD content enabled (or something like that)---SUCCESS- I didn't time it but whole process was less than 10 minutes. it felt longer because of the long pauses where it seemingly wasn't doing anything..

2024 Macan. no issues. can't wait for the Android Auto unlock but so far this is amazing.

You don’t need to be tech savvy to do this! If you can use a computer you can do it.

It would help if I understood the “language” you guys speak and write. I do ok with most technical things, but you guys blow my mind. Some of the things you find “hidden” and then release them. I understand your screen mod only affects CarPlay, but I read about all the hidden features…..amazing stuff. I have a techy friend doing the SD card for me, I’m good inserting and removing it from the Macan….i can handle that. Thanks for what you’re doing!

Glad you have a friend. The other part is essentially copy-paste two folders to the SD card.

applied modification last night. started the macan this morning and the display instantly came on showing carplay....no warm up/boot delay? Is there anything in the modification that keeps the PCM active, even though the car is off?

False Alarm: not sure why this happened....maybe I forgot to turn the car off (the engine was off for sure) ??? The modification works as expected.

Nothing in the mod does that. It is only loaded when CarPlay is running and changes the resolution/window type used for CarPlay.

 

[wls1425]

Perfect! I even inserted and removed the SD card all by myself! I’m a techno engineer expert.

What do you mean that “the drop-down button on the top was flashing and touchscreen works inconsistently”? This mod just changes the resolution CarPlay renders at. I’m not aware of a way it could cause the issues you are describing.

The specific software version on your PCM would be a useful datapoint too.

I couldn't use carplay when installed full screen version, but it worked perfectly after changing it to windowed full screen version on my 2019 Macan(PCM 5, MH2p_AS_PO416_P9817). I think there could be a compatibility problem with 2019 macan or specific PCM version, so 2019 owners better try windowed full screen when full screen doesn't work properly.

You’re the second 2019 owner who has had issues with the “true fullscreen” mod. He had MH2p_US_P0416_P9830. He sent me a file so I should be able to see what’s up with compatibility! My guess is they revised one of the classes in the UI jar that the mod overrides.

Yeh, that’s what I thought!

 

[xl_cheese]

oh my god please do this... That drives me crazy having to press it every time.

I used the diamond button to program the overhead camera.

 

[xl_cheese]

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 bet it's just some png file stored in there. All we'd need to do is photoshop the paint color and copy the image back.

 

[CarmineS]

I have that too. But putting the car in reverse defaults to no overhead camera which is annoying to some people (me).

If you want to dig, it is likely in /mnt/app/eso/hmi/lsd/lsd.jar

A mod with an install.sh like this should dump that to your SD card. On your PC: change lsd.jar to lsd.zip, open it up and dig around.

#!/bin/ksh

[[ ! -e "/mnt/app" ]] && mount -t qnx6 /dev/mnanda0t177.1 /mnt/app
echo "Mounting /mnt/app in r/w mode..."
mount -uw /mnt/app
if [[ -e "/mnt/app/eso/hmi/lsd" ]]; then
    cp -Vf /mnt/app/eso/hmi/lsd/lsd.jar $modPath/
else
    echo "error /mnt/app/eso/hmi/lsd does not exist"
fi
[[ -e "/mnt/app" ]] && umount -f /mnt/app

Working on Android Auto! When complete, it will be an additional mod that can be installed.

So is that a real few weeks, or the 2-3 days it was last time you said a few weeks for this initial method lol.

I also don't know that I would rock the boat from the toolbox too much that's tried and tested (works, no codes, etc.) Unless it's a substantially better way for some specific reason. Or at least the toolbox method for now while testing something different.
