Has anyone done a CarPlay retrofit / Headunit replacement for 991.1
I saw the attached product when googling online. However I can't find any reference to it in the US. I'm wondering whether anyone has tried it? I would love to add CarPlay to my 2014 Turbo S. It would certainly be cheaper than paying $40k more to upgrade to a 2017.

I would certainly like to learn about this too.
Anybody? |
I just found that company today and am most interested in adding it as well.

Sounds interesting, however their web page indicates compatibility only through iPhone 7/7plus.

It's curious to me that you can use the Waze GPS app as it's not supported in CarPlay. Is this a mirroring device for the iPhone? Can all of the functions be activated using the car's PCM screen or do you have to navigate the menus by touching the iPhone screen?.

That's the NaviPlus referenced in your initial post (I tracked that video down from NaviPlus's thread in another forum). I found NaviPlus today in a random search and I want to see if this is a real product or a one-off type thing that someone was able to make work.
I'm extremely interested in this if it's an actual product. |

^^^ Okay, that makes sense... their website is a bit misleading.

I went through the install instructions (attached) with my local car audio shop. They seem to think that this product will not impact the Satellite radio function. I.e. it will add CarPlay but not take away any other functionality. I hope this is correct. If someone here is more expert on this stuff, it would be interesting to have you review the instructions to validate what they are saying.
Their only concern was that it would impact my warranty on the PCM because the instructions require opening the PCM. Not sure how I feel about that. BTW there is a different vendor whose product seems to require SAT radio removal on this thread. https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1029...pcm-3-1-a.html I am assuming that the other thread is showing a different product, but to be honest I am not that technical so have no idea. |

You could ask the vendor directly, though. |

The one that requires removal of the SAT module seems to be activated via the input selector, i.e., via the same way you'd switch to the SAT.
You could ask the vendor directly, though. Thank you for your explanation No, you won't need to remove original parts such as DAB antenna, Thank you Kind Regards.

I am wondering if this Satellite Radio module needs to be removed for the installation of the CarPlay module. https://www.nmautomotive.co.uk/carplay-androidauto |

I did ask the vendor. Here was the back and forth:
Aside from that - I hope you get it working :) |
