PCM Replacement/Upgrade?

Hi there folks,
Took my beloved 991S out of storage recently- long story short I had to jump the car and now my already finicky PCM refuses to turn on. While assessing my repair/replacement options I came across this AliExpress upgrade. Rather than shove CarPlay into the existing PCM 3.1, it replaces the whole unit with a much larger screen and modern processing/features. Wondered if anyone on here has gone this route and wondered how they like it.

Thanks very much and happy 4th of July!

Does it have that weird stretched aspect ratio? Couldn't deal with that.

Please see this thread
https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1045...l#post19529660
There are various resellers of the unit you linked to, most of us have bought it from Chstek who appear to be the main seller
The screen is awesome, especially when running navigation. The aspect ratio is fine and in proportion to the screen. I do not have any apps that look odd, they all look great.
In the thread above there are links to an installation and configuration guide that a few of us worked on, and the thread has many screenshots so you can see what it's like for yourself.
If you do decide to go down this route there is a lot of community help and support on the thread..
Can I suggest that you post any other questions on the thread I linked to so we keep everything relating to this topic in one place - thanks!

True, but then that's a bad Photoshop image..
As I said above if you check the other thread that I referenced then you will see plenty of screenshot of the screen operating in real cars
Best to get info and advice from those of us who have actually installed the unit in question I think, rather than a screen grab

I HATE that main thread because people are discussing dozens of different solutions. Someone needs to take the time and split it into threads for each solution: Mr12Volt, Isudar, Chstek, etc. As it is the 3279 posts in a 219 page thread makes it nearly impossible to find anything meaningful.
I will post it there for what it's worth...
