PCM5 Whole Screen Carplay/Android Auto
 

Before I get started, I am like most of you. I was skeptical, thought I was going to be scammed and thought the PCM would be bricked after this. But I was WRONG; I went with someone who had lots of reviews on multiple forums and is the original developer of the product. Not some copycat or pass-through imitators.

Now to the real stuff, I upgraded my MY2021 PCM5 911 to Whole Screen Apple CarPlay, and it is a game changer. So let's go over the process. I first started communicating with Raymond from https://www.innovativesoftnz.com/ via WhatsApp; his number is +64 21 404 548, and we exchanged many messages before I took the plunge. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. They are running a promotion on their website for forum members too. I purchased this option https://www.innovativesoftnz.com/pro...o-whole-screen since they have two versions. Think of them as basic and premium. The basic gets you full screen, but the icons are not scaled; they are just spread on the screen to fill the space, with no distortion or any weird misplacements. Knowing how OCD I am and how I will not be happy with the basic option, I went with Whole Screen (premium option). This gives you the full screen, but things are appropriately scaled, and the icons are larger; again no distortion or weird misplacements. Here is a link to what I ended up getting https://www.innovativesoftnz.com/pro...o-whole-screen. You can see the pics on their website, but I am sharing my pictures here. Once I made the purchase, I was asked to buy a specific USB Ethernet Connector (link ). I tried to be smart and buy locally to expedite the process. I bought 7 different connectors from microcenter and Best Buy hoping that one of them would have the required chip AX88772, but none did, so I bought the amazon one. When it arrived, I texted Raymond on WhatsApp, and he got right to work.

You need a computer running windows (I used my matchbook pro with Bootcamp, and it worked just fine). Of course, I connected the car to a battery tender to avoid any unintended shutdowns. You also need TeamViewer, USB Drive, and an Ethernet cable. Raymond sent me a folder to exact to the USB drive and sent instructions at the start of the process. I started a TeamViewer Session where he first he configured the USB/Ethernet connector, then asked me to plug the USB/Ethernet into the car's USB1 port, the thumb drive into USB2 ports, and resort PCM in engineering mode using the two-finger method. From there, I sat back and watched. If you have ADHD or anxiety, make sure you take your meds before the process, the system will go blank and reboot a couple of times. Every time I run the scenario in my head of what I am going to tell the dealer of the system is bricked. ONLY the Apple CarPlay screen is impacted; everything else stays the same. I asked if the dealer can detect this and the answer was no because it is at the application level, returning to stock is just as easy and lastly this should not interfere with any OTA updated.

About 20 minutes later, the process was complete, and as promised HQ Whole Screen Apple CarPlay. Raymond asked permission to go into the last top to reset network settings again and remove the temp files; of course, I said yes because I had no idea what to do with these files.

I am happy to answer questions and post more pictures if anyone is interested.

Disclaimer: I am not getting anything for this review, I already paid and have it running. Just doing the guy a favor and sharing my experience.

Thanks , enjoy the new HD CarPlay like PCM6 now :)

How much is the forum discount?

So is this a permanent change or can you toggle back to a split CarPlay/PCM view like OEM if you wanted to?

To my knowledge to revert it back to 3/4 screen it needs to be coded again.

I have the same mod and it's amazing...highly recommended and can't think of a reason to change it back (though it's definitely a bit of a science project as mentioned). No idea why this is not available from the factory.

Are you doing this for PCM6 also, to get rid of the persistent set of PCM icons on the left?

no, pcm6 already made screen in good display radio, no need to change

Hello everyone,

After months of searching for a solution for my Apple CarPlay I have discovered Raymond and innovativesoft and they have done a great job updating my PCM to have full screen Apple CarPlay.

Fast, effective and high quality. I'm happy!

Based on all the positive comments here, I am scheduled for today!

You are going to love it!

Coding is pretty much constant, why have a subpar version and a “normal” version of scaling at separate price points? And then it is sold as premium. That’s insane. Would make more sense if it were tangible feature add on

Can you confirm it is not impacted by iOS/Carplay updates?

As to differentiate the product from others, because guys call normal full screen is HD, which is hard to explain, so better to have two product listed
