Yes, I can touch and swipe on the PCM to interact with Carplay. Can select/tap the app in PCM (like Spotify, apple map). And also can call Siri

Great DIY, thank you! Two questions:
1. Do you know if this works on the CDR 3.1 module? I actually have a spare CDR (for my 981) with the Sirius module and would be willing to take it apart to test.
2. Can this module actually add BT music streaming? Anyone familiar with CDR 3.1 BASE (not SPP) knows that it does NOT support Bluetooth music streaming (just phone), so if this could add that it would make it even MORE valuable and worthwhile.
Thank you again! - Dom

After you installed this set, your cellphone has to connect to the PCM via a cable to active the Apple Carplay. (just like how the new 991.2 PCM works). So from that point, there is no need to use BT.
If you were asking if the Apple Carplay can be used wireless, the answer will be no. even the new 991.2 PCM does not support that.

Sorry, I don't have a CDR 3.1 module, so I don't know if this set will work with that or not.

I’d like to have Apple CarPlay, but not enough to dismantle my PCM. Factory PCM 3.1 does everything that I need anyway.
Great tutorial!

I truly wish car entertainment systems were modular with a dumb touch screen in the dash running from a computer module that is 100% software upgradable like a laptop by the user. When ever the computer module itself needs upgraded you just unplug it from the trunk and plug in a newer module.

Wow awesome work. Well done.
Unfortunately for me, there are a few things I’m really uncomfortable messing with on my own and this is one of them. Too bad the dealer can’t just do this for us, but we all know that’ll never happen.

Car-Play in 2014 Porsche Cayenne S

We got the lsailt Apple carplay in and installed ... everything seems to be working except for the Satellite Radio ... just as you said not enough room to keep it in the box, although if there was a place to safely put it you could probably get it to work.
One problem we seem to be having is that to initate the car play you have to plug your phone into the provided cable... if I leave carplay and go to the PCM by hitting say the tuner switch, how can I get back to carplay without unplugging and plugging back in my phone?
Also, is there somewhere on the steering wheel that I can initiate the phone button on carplay so that siri will ask me who I want to call, or do I have to push the phone button on the screen?
You have been a great help. All we got from Lsailt was the parts no instructions whatsoever.

What button do you have to press to bring up CarPlay? Is it the radio button?
I just looked into another product called Naviplus and they are claiming their version doesn't sacrifice the Sirius XM.
