CarPlay Not Working
Well, I wanted to use CarPlay for google maps Navigation and when I switched to CarPlay via the PCM, all I got was a blank screen? WTF!
Bluetooth was working and I could hear the directions over the car speaker. To be consistent Spotify under Media did not work because it is part of CarPlay. I made sure there were no pending software updates. Turned off/on CarPlay from my phone. My son mentioned Spotify did not work on his phone. It clearly seems like a problem with the car vs. the iphone(s). Last resort is to take the car to the dealer, but I don't really want to waste my time or gas to have them fix what I am guessing is a software glitch in the car. Turned car off/on a few times and the same result. Is there a simple way to reset PCM/CarPlay in the car? https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...cfc92c54f5.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...9f768b9354.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...183d98c523.jpg |
I would either connect via the cable, or press Devices and reconnect your phone.

Reset and reboot your PCM using these directions --> https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1296...l#post18217270
Then do a hard reboot of your iPhone (up volume button, then down volume button, then press and hold power button until Apple logo appear and then release power button). Then reconnect and repair. |

CarPlay can be very glitchy. Porsche is much better than Audi, if you can believe that.
Try the pairing from scratch:

I tried most of these things.
1. Plugged in phone to USB 2. Tried clicking on icon 3. I did not try to delete phone. But this means both phones would have to be deleted. It would seem odd both phones stopped working. 4. Tried hard re-boot of one of the phones. I will try to follow the re-boot instructions. |

The new PCM allows you to convert your Iphone from Ipod mode to CarPlay mode any time you want. Into your PCM go to Devices then choose the apple car play icon (below picture for more information) https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...9ddfef31a.jpeg |
CarPlay - Update
Well, the issue seems to be resolved, at least for now. It would be interesting to see if it works for my son's iphone.
The only change I did was to Turn off my iPhone and turn it back on. Just to recap. the device had the Carplay logo on the PCM. Clicked on the icon and it just went to a blank screen. So, I did not have to do a PCM re-boot. Seems like the PCM software is a little buggy. Sometimes I add the loading data... |

Your PCM seems to have different (newer looking?) icons to mine. Were some of the earlier cars delivered with older software?

There may be a difference in US spec. cars. My car has a production date of October 21
I did have different CarPlay icons yesterday, I don’t know if it from Porsche update or iPhone update |

No update by me, if anything did update, it was automatically

The trick with carplay is you need bluetooth AND wifi to connect. Likely, your wifi wasn't connected as well.
