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

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

OK, I looked at this a little more closely and am checking out that kit. Even with the translator, it is not easy to navigate - can you provide a direct link to this kit? Also, do they list anything about a kit for CDR3.1? - Thank you for the insight!

Wow. Great work. Way too complex for me, but great work!

Here is the direct link I used before to purchase the kit (https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id...u=n265052b752c), but seems like they dont have the product in stock anymore. You might need to ask the seller that if they can order one for you from factory or not.

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.

The unit Swandive installed is not that far from your wish. It is a module that plugs into the PCM's touch screen and has an interface to communicate with the PCM to switch control of the touch screen between the PCM's brains and the Carplay module. You have to open the PCM because the touch screen's connectors are inside the unit. It is still plug and play, no soldering or permanently modifying the PCM. The Lsailt system is the same thing, but instead of a Carplay module, it's an Android computer.

Swandive...

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.

I dont think it is available on CDR ... Lsailt made me take a picture of my unit to make sure it was PCM 3.1 not CDR ... I is not compatible with CDR.

If anyone finds a reliable retailer please post it here!

I posted asking for the exact link before realizing you did this for a Cayenne. The search continues for a workable solution for CDR3.1(I have a 991 with PCM and a 981 with CDR-that's the one I would want this for). Thanks -Dom

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.
