That's terrific. I've been quite apprehensive opening up the PCM & plunking in a new circuit board, however Nick has been excellent with communication & answering questions. I have one of these on the way & plan to install over the Xmas holidays.
Did you get the reverse camera from Nick as well? What extra bits were needed for the camera to connect into PCM. I've been looking at NavTV kits b/c that's what I've seen mostly on the forum.

One more comment on the reverse camera install. Many of the procedures, including on youtube, mention removing plastic trim panels on the side as you snake the wire to the back. I found that I could carefully and easily route the wire and then slip it under the porsche trim with a plastic trim tool. No need to remove plastic panels and risk breaking any fasteners. The only panel that I needed to remove is the carpeted one in the back corner, in order to access the rear-light wiring and remove the rear light.

I just installed this carplay kit for my 981 Cayman, as well as the reverse camera. I am very happy with it. Nick was very responsive to any questions. I spent Thanksgiving installing it - Carplay took me ~2hrs. The reverse camera took about the same and it was longer than it should've been since I struggled to remove the rear tail-light (it was somewhat stuck and I did not want to break it). Anyways, I took my car for a spin today and everything worked smoothly (the backup lines in the reverse camera view even swivel with the steering wheel!). Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers,

Interesting. My instructions for the same kit indicate the camera must be coded.

javaperson - you are correct. My camera wasn't working and my camera instructions indicated the use of a coder(must have been for if you don't use the CarPlay). It turns out I had a setting incorrect in the CarPlay hidden menu. It works fine now. Thanks for setting me straight.

A couple of pictures of mine complete. The integrated camera is a little crooked, I need to address that.
Having trouble uploading the pics......will try again later.................
