I ordered a Veepeak OBD2 right angle cable from Amazon for $8. It's worked well so far. Perhaps I should add that I use mine with a T-design mount rather than the included Pearl mount. The Pearl mount is high quality but I don't trust a magnet to secure my large iPhone.

I just opened up the fuse box and doesn't seem like anything will fit in there, meaning no room to let the dongle sit inside when the cover is put back on. Did the cable just hang outside when you put the cover back over the fuse section?

I've not taken mine in for service since using the Pearl Rearvision but it is easy to unplug and then plug back in. Not a big deal.

Not with the kit you have unfortunately. There is another NavTV interface that allows for that but it is only available to a very select number of dealers(like 2-3) because it requires internal modification to the PCM itself.

For what it’s worth, the route I went for my2014 991 was backup and front cameras integrated into PCM. I discussedwith the dealership during a routine maintenance visit. I was told that integrating a backup camerainto the PCM does not void the manufacturer’s warranty unless the camera systemactually damages the PCM. Specifically,I went with PCM3.1XGCAM NAV-TV Porsche Cam Kit, (2) ACA501 Audiovox LipCamera w/adaptive lines, professional installation.Total was $1,544.74.That was pricey, but I was concerned that Ireally cannot see what’s behind the car when I back up since there is an enginein the way.Until I called theinstaller, I had given no thought to a front-facing camera.Remembering that I had used a parking curb torip a bumper off a previous car, I decided to get the front as well.The front is activated by pressing the reardefroster button twice (which also turns on and immediately turns off the reardefroster.)I am very happy with theresults and believe I’ve reduced risk in a couple areas, albeit at a prettystiff price.Both front and back camerashave lines with distances noted.
