I'm suspicious of dealerships that are unable to find a fix to a warranted Porsche and then buy the car from the customer, find the fix and sell it for a profit. This purchase method is a sign of the times to profit on the sale of late model 911s that other wise would not be in their used car inventory. Trade in 911s are few and command a premium price. My CPO 2017 991.2 S has a problem with Apple Car Play that makes it inoperable. For two years I've fought with the dealership and Porsche Customer Service (three case numbers with no solution, each time being ignored after several conversations with Porsche Customer Service.) I previously documented this problem extensively on another thread here. The final insult came from the dealership recently when they told me "all Porsches have this problem," and then the salesman wanted me to trade in my Porsche on a new 992! My CPO warranty ends in several weeks and the problem that makes Apple Car Play inoperable still remains. I'm convinced it's the PCM. They won't replace it.

After I explained that revelation to the dealership and showed them that I was using a newly purchased genuine Apple cable, they agreed there was a connection problem and gave me a loaner vehicle since mine was still under OEM warranty. They fixed the problem by removing the console and replacing both the receptacle in the console under the center arm rest, and the cable that extends from that receptacle to the PCM. I now leave the Apple cable connected to the receptacle under the center arm rest, and only connect/disconnect my iPhone 11 at the iPhone. No more issues with Car Play function.
Also, I have repeatedly confirmed that Waze works better if I leave the iPhone outside of the place under the arm rest that Porsche designed for it. The Europeans get enhanced reception when an iPhone is placed in that covered location because the iPhone then uses an antenna of the car instead of that of the iPhone, but this function is disabled or removed for the USA market.
Good luck in resolving your issue.
