Agreed - cool! Coupled w/ wireless charging this could be quite handy.

Is there a popular wireless charging solution for 991s? Searched around and didn’t find much consensus. The T-Design one is interesting, but haven’t found much info/reviews on it.

Lakeshow, are you aware of any PCM-Phone features such as Connect being disabled when connected via the dongle?

OP, How long did it take to arrive. On the order page it says usually ships 6-10 days but on the shipment page it say Oct. 17 to Nov. 13th. I'm leaving for the winter on Oct. 18. Thanks,

I ordered the T-Design one. I'm planning to wire the cable through the trim and into the glove box (from behind) and down to the USB port.

Took about 3 weeks. I'm on the West Coast.

Everything works normally for me. The PCM doesn't know the difference between connecting this way or via cable. As far as it's concerned it still thinks it's wired because the dongle tells the PCM it's an iPhone.

It appears the dongle is creating its own ad hoc wireless network so I don't see how your iPhone can connect to both the dongle and the car's Wi-Fi network at the same time. I'm not that familiar with Connect so I'm guessing if any of its features depend on Wi-Fi there might be a problem? I've been waiting for something like this to come out since I bought my 911 so I just ordered one. Thanks fo the tip!

Here's some more details from Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3304...chweb201603_53

My main question will be, will this work with IOS 13? There's going to be significant changes to Carplay...
