@Westcoast Hi West... Is any AA functionality available via Bluetooth, after enabling AA? Or is a USB connection required for AA? Can you access/control Porsche Track Precision App (PTPA) on the PCM screen via AA, like the iPhone/CarPlay guys do?

Thanks

The AA functionality is only available via USB connection. Bluetooth functions like it did in the past and remains separate from AA. The last time I was at the track my iPhone toting buddy showed me that, but I think that Porsche PCM must make the association or there must be a tie in via the PCM and PTPA to CarPlay... short answer: No

I wonder if @simaservis1108 could enable this too?

I wonder if the new My Porsche app changes the PTPA functionality or connectivity... I haven't looked at this yet...

All is needed, assuming you have MIB running in Green, is an image file and a script, added to the MOD folder of your MIB SD card.

That is a vast improvement, so did you do this to your PCM?

Your comment" All is needed, assuming you have MIB running in Green, is an image file and a script, added to the MOD folder of your MIB SD card." makes this sound so simple to fix?

That is a photo of my PCM.
Yes, assuming you've installed MIB accessible through GEM, and you've flashed the Patch to enable Android Auto (the same thing I did) I don't see why you should not be able to use the same image file and script that I did.
I am going to reach out to the MIB lead and ask if it is safe to share with you.
