Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to ask the overall feedback from this update? Is the update worth it? Anything you hate about the retrofit?
Would this work with bluetooth, or has to be wired?
Thanks,
Ruben

No real downsides in my experience. Had some sound level issues in the beginning, but Nick from NM Automotive responded with solutions within hours.
It has to be wired. No Bluetooth support.

Did you have to take the Sirius board off? Not that I'm fan of satellite radio, but in general would try to preserve factory functionality.

Ideally I'd like to wait for the wireless version as well, but no definitive answer.
Email Response from Nick dated July 28, 2018:
Hi XXXXXXXXX,
Correct confirmed the CarPlay system will support a reversing camera (Including the guidelines, steering angle, parking sensor overlay etc) with your PCM 3.1 system 3.xx.
AndroidAuto is in final beta testing, we have some customers who brought the CarPlay unit testing the firmware now. The wireless version according to the manufacturer is a little way off, they have it on their R&D plan, but they may or may not develop it. They are primarily concentrating extending the range of manufacturers supported with their CarPlay kit.
Just let us know if you need any additional info.
Thanks
Nick

Also, do you have to run a custom usb wire, of the USB plug from glovebox would work just fine?
I came across few links with upgrade options. Would appreciate feedback on those:

Also interested in the experience people had with the NM Automotive carplay product. I think this was being sold by wizard263789 ?
Any advancement on the wireless connectivity?
I have a 2011 Cayenne Turbo with Burmiester and was wondering if this would work for me.
Anyone from the Bay Area, CA been able to locate an installer?

I might end up installing this on my own. If you want we could do pair-installation one day

Curious as to why you guys don't just go aftermarket and install an aftermarket unit like the Alpine iL-07 which has wireless Carplay by the way. Suncoast now sells what looks like a very nice kit which is plug in play with your OEM Porsche system (both BOSE and non-BOSE) for aftermarket kits which they say is also reversible so say if the car is sold you just replace your PCM back into the car. Seems like this would probably be cheaper and work better and you wouldn't have to worry about upgrading out of the unit at some point by Apple as continued compatibility with an aftermarket unit from Alpine or Kenwood is probably more certain. I realize you loose some OEM-ness by doing this but from what I can see it doesn't look that bad. Opening up the PCM is probably not a great thing as far as Porsche is concerned and likely also giving most installers in you guys areas a moment of pause if not outright terror thus the denials and turn aways. Thoughts folks?
