I have a ottocast, and my pcm is a 4.0.

Looking for this screen from your car.

PCM model is 4.0, version is shown above in the picture posted by @718socal

Have you connected your phone to the PCM with just a USB cable? No Ottocast?

eharris6919

Yes, i tried different cables to make sure and it still didn't show up.

Hello everyone once again! Hope this message finds you all well! Has there been any progress with being able to make it work for the CD-Less PCM?
About tempted to buy from SunCoast the NAV Module and getting it installed. If I were to go that route, would I need PIWIS to get it to work? Dealer only install? LVDS cable to cluster and PIWIS coding for that as well?

718socal

No update for the CD-less PCM. You will definitely need coding with PIWIS. I don't know if they use an authentication code or enable NAV from the Porsche Network with PIWIS online. For the MAP view in the cluster, you need the LVDS cable and code the cluster with NAV

What is the version of your PCM? Take a picture and post. We cannot guess if this was patched successfully or not.

Here's my hardware and software version.

This shows that it was patched. Try a different phone or cable. Don't use your Ottocast until you figure out what the issue is.

Got my 2024 718 GTS, build started around April/May, and it has the CD-Less PCM 4.0 MH12_ER_POG11_P5250, MU software 1502
Going to go order a Carlinkt 4.0 now My other 718 GTS (2022) has the proper PCM 4 with the cd player, and MIB worked flawlessly on it!

Interesting thing: I couldn't get to the screen under settings to check for HW and other SW version info, just the Dev console for the version information of the software.

Westcoast

Not sure what you mean here, you listed the version info your 2024 GTS...

shadowarrior

This screen which others keep posting I think this could be accessed under Settings in the PCM menu and it would have a submenu called Version Information. I don't think I see it on the new one. Let me go check the old GTS to see if I am looking at the right place

EDIT: Never mind, I am either blind or I shouldn't be trying to do stuff at 2 am in the morning The menu is right there on both cars. The new one has HW version 60, the older one has HW version 56.

Westcoast

Cool, that is what I figured, the operation is pretty much the same, except no disc player now.

Is it to correct to say that the Carlinkit 5.0 won't work on the 718?

shadowarrior

Yep, correct. The 5.0 unlocks Wireless modes for their Wired systems; AKA, if you have wired CarPlay, you will get wireless carplay, if you have wired Android Auto, you get wireless Android auto. If you have wired both, you get wireless both. For 718, since we don't have Wired Android Auto, it won't work for your Android phones.
4.0 works as a cross platform adapter, to put it simply It connects to the PCM's CarPlay protocols, and makes your Android Phone use it, through that system. So, you are not going to get same low latency and I am assuming few less features as well compared to having native Android Auto support. If you have one of the older hardware, use MIB.

I still don't get why Porsche had to switch over to a new HW module for the last production batch. Maybe to cut production costs by not including the CD/DVD drive in the unit?
