The first time it took me 10+ hours because I went blind with only youtube videos. I didn't have the right jumper settings or a manual and there was a lot of installing and uninstalling.
But now I could probably do it in 2 hours rushed or 3 hours really taking my time.
IMO the hardest part is cramming all the wires and parts back in the dash.

With the manual it should be straight forward. We're going to do 2-3 cars at the same time so we can all learn together. Wish me luck!
really hoping you could help me out with this one. I installed the wireless CarPlay unit. Doing so I removed the Sirius board.
everything connects back up, I unplugged to fiber optic cable from the original block and into the new block. However I’ve lost sound both on FM and in the CarPlay. Sound still works with SatNav which gives me hope I didn’t break it completely.
not really sure how to move forward, does anyone have any ideas?

You have to figure out how to reinstall the sirius board or else you can't get FM.
That is where I’m currently at, I’ve taken the head unit back apart but can’t find a way to get everything back including the Sirius board.
Any guides?
I don’t know how big is the wireless boards. But on non wireless board you can use stand offs to instal the Board and keep the Orginal board too.
ask atwong1. He is in Panamera forum. I think he already done it.👍

Do you know the type of standoffs that are used by any chance? M2.5’s
I've got mine installed in a 2016 Cayman 981 that has Bose and Sirius with the PCM 3.1, which I removed, and now am discovering that losing the AM/FM radio along with SAT is a common experience.
I may be able to figure out a way to stack the PCBs and have both? That way I get back the AM/FM radio?
Searching for atwong1 posts in the Panamerican forum. Any links or hints appreciated. :-)

I actually stacked my board without the Standoffs, I used zipties to support getting creative with various holes in the chassis, but if I knew the standoff specs I would have MUCH rather gone that route. But yes you need the Sirius board to get AM/FM

Yup, confirmed. I ended up stacking two of the standoffs that came with, and used that to secure just the one corner closest to the CD player cable cutout. That way the board at least gets a decent ground (not sure it matters) and it isn't going to move around with all the cables, now extra cramped. I left the SAT pigtail cable out since I don't use that at all and the hole for it is the best way I can find to get the add-in cable out of the box. Now it all works! Nice.
Based on your picture you installed the integration box in the slot behind the PCM mounting frame. The additional harness loom and the reduced space where you mounted the integration box is preventing the PCM from sliding in its fixed mounting position. You will need to relocate the integration box to an alternate location. I have read some members will mount the integration box behind/under the glove box or under the steering column.

thanks!
I placed the integration board under the frame through the Climate control panel. Now lots of room behind the head unit. But it still is about 1/2 inch off from being flush. This isn’t easy
