The other frustration with the 2013 991 (vs the 2012.5) is that you can no longer stream music via Bluetooth with your iPhone if you already have an iPod/iPhone connected to the glovebox USB port.
I am not using the aHa service because it does not work over Bluetooth with an iPhone
Another issue is that the text message/email functionality does not work with an iPhone, but like for aHa is ok with an Android. It is time for Porsche to understand that the majority of their customers have an iPhone, not an Android!!!

IMO aHa, online services and jukebox are a piece of crap that makes Porsche engineers look like their last job was with Yugo. Why our supercars have to have bird crap on them is disgusting. I've turned off everything except the phonebook and listen to my PSE talk to me.

We just got a 2013 Cayenne Turbo and it has the jukebox feature. It is my wife's car, and she uses an iPod plugged in all the time. Instead of leaving a second iPod in the center console, and switching the iPods when I drive the car, I just loaded a bunch of music on the jukebox, and just change sources. Works great. I loaded a bunch of iTunes playlists onto a USB thumb drive, and then transferred them (copy folder) and it worked great. A terrific feature that does the trick (at least for me).

You plug in the USB drive into the USB port in your car, then choose USB as a source, then select Option, and then copy the tracks you want (all tracks, all folders, etc...). Then go to Jukebox to listen to the music. Pretty straightforward.

That's actually pretty cool, so you don't have to use your IPod anymore once you have the jukebox loaded (if I'm understanding correctly)?

Correct - it is a terrific option. The only caveat is that it does not seem to play my playlists in the order I had them, but they are in the same folder, so if you don't care about running order, you should be fine. I find it nice to shake things up a bit...but same songs, same folder, same playlist.

Ok , thread revive. Was searching this as I cannot seem to get my iPhone to transfer songs to my jukebox in my 14 Carrera S and this thread came up.
I need to physically transfer my songs onto a USB stick and plug that into the USB port in the glovebox, them copy to jukebox hard drive from there? There is no way just to transfer it directly from the iPhone ? This seems quite silly. Any help on this would be appreciated.

There is another slight issue; the transfer from USB to Jukebox takes aaaagggggessss. And if you stop the car it starts again from the beginning.
Even a skant 300-or so tracks can take an hour to transfer so best done when you start a long journey.
Once done, though, it works a treat.

I never use the jukebox because it doesn't seem to play the tracks in the order I had them according to the MP3 tag track number. It seems to just use alphabetical ordering.
I just keep my old-school 60 gig iPod in the glove compartment.
