PCM and iOS 16

The PCM has its own warts. Why does CarPlay become default when you link your phone even though it’s not the preferred or last used audio source? Why does the navigation apps use the car antenna instead of the phone antenna causing the guidance to freak out in certain circumstances thinking I’m 500ft away from location? Why does it randomly disconnect? I honestly wish I could disable wireless CarPlay and only use it wired when I need it for navigating or feel like using Apple Music.

It seems to work just fine for me when I don’t want it to. Let me try and put on navigation downtown Dallas or some other unfamiliar places and it will disconnect and have me trying to reset everything while not getting lost. But really the annoying aspect for me is wanting to just listen to FM or XM (while it’s still free) and everytime I start the car having to go through menu and change sources. For some reason Apple Music doesn’t automatically start playing so there is no music for me unless I push play on CarPlay or switch sources. If I could disable wireless and just use the wire (which I do anyway when navigating) it would solve a lot of my problems.

To disable wireless CarPlay only, try going to the PCM's devices screen and under the Link column toggle off (not green) the icon that looks like a play-triangle-inside-circle.

I believe you can. On your iPhone, go to Settings / General / CarPlay / Porsche and untoggle the CarPlay switch. Now CarPlay will not be enabled at all. You can flip this switch whenever you do want to use CarPlay.

Just an idea.

I have tried that but the initial connection is Bluetooth. Then it uses WiFi after it establishes a connection. If you switch WiFi off on the phone it seems to keep turning itself back on and reconnecting. You have to turn off both Bluetooth and WiFi to get CarPlay to shut off or disabling it in the phone settings menu. It’s really a bizarre system. Admittedly I am a bit of a luddite when it comes to tech stuff.

No issues here with MY22 PCM6 (monochrome icons) and iOS 16 (iPhone 12 Pro Max) running wireless CarPlay.
As others are eluding to... have you tried manually deleting the PCM "saved connections" from both the Bluetooth and WiFi menus of your iPhone?
Additionally, I believe you can also trigger automatic pairing (for wireless CarPlay) by plugging the iPhone into the USB-C in the arm rest as well.
Good luck!
