You need to have the Porsche Connect service subscription, and in my '20 Macan with PCM 5 I also need to wait a minute or two for it to log on. The 'G' icon becomes available at the same time the other apps do. I imagine it works the same in the 992s with PCM 5.
That's insane. So these f*ckers aren't updating software on purpose so they can get paid in perpetuity by bleeding their customers on a subscription model. Thanks, Porsche.
Just tried connecting my Android phone to the car but AA isn’t popping up on the screen as available. Usually an iPhone user so haven’t checked since it was installed weeks ago.
Looking at my phone it shows the below. Have tried a couple different USB cables?

Well, to be fair, Porsche isn't exactly a charity and Google API keys aren't exactly free, nor is cellular data. Given that Porsche incurs their own ongoing expenses to support things like Google search and maps, I can see some justification for charging users an optional subscription for access.
Where I draw the line is when an automaker tries to impose subscriptions for things that don't cost them anything to support, like BMW's attempt to charge subscriptions for CarPlay. That's infuriating enough to make me pick a different car. See also GM.
Sunday, I decided to switch from Android to iPhone. Since I have no experience with the Apple system and I had issues connecting, I sent a message to Raymond, who promptly replied and helped things get sorted, even though I purchased it a long time ago.
I could not be HAPPIER with what @innovativesoft did to my 992 Turbo S with their PCM5 FULL CarPlay upgrade this weekend. First off hats off to Ray! Not only was the process smooth, there was a last minute very minor hiccup due to a connection issue on my end and he had the patience and cleared his schedule to help me manually finish the process, let alone helping me on a weekend. I've had a few 992's with PCM6 so this update was important to me and it's actually blown my mind. I feel as though the connection is even quicker. As soon as my phone connects it goes to full CarPlay mode. The clarity and responsiveness of the update is well worth it in my opinion. VERY happy I ended up finding this thread in the first place.To all who are on the fence, don't think about it too much, just do it, it's worth it!

I had mine installed a year ago. Best money I’ve ever spent! Zero issues. Raymond was awesome!
I’ve had mine for over 3 years with no issues. I echo what others have to say about Raymond and the experience. Effortless and worth every penny! Feel free to message me if you have any questions or want a discount referral code. He’s the best in the biz!!
If anyone is looking to get this done through Raymod, DM me. I decided not to get this done and he's graciously letting me tranfer this to someone else. Thanks..
