Default Cannot connnect Android Auto with 992.1 2021 C4S

I am struggling with the connection my Android with my vehicle through Android Auto, no matter how I change the USB cable (which I promise the cable works well)
I felt it quite confusing to go through this article: https://ask.porsche.com/us/en-US/and...ith-my-porsche, because it indicates the article only applies to 2022+ models but also says 2021 supports wired Android Auto.
I cannot use Carplay for Google map anyway. Even the Porsche Official has no solution in short time. Anyone has experience please help me.

Upload a picture of your PCM.
I'm 99% sure yours does NOT have android auto from the factory..
Only carplay
You have the same PCM style from the current Macans.
Which does NOT support android auto.
2022 they went to the "taycan" style which came with android auto.

I also have a 2021 and ran into the same issue. You can patch your PCM5 nav console for free to make it work here: MH2p Mod Kit

Literally takes 5 minutes, it's safe and works like a champ!

You have PCM5 (aka MH2P) which does NOT have factory Android Auto support. However this particular Alpine headunit (Porsche simply puts their UI skin on top) does support wired AA.
@Drewsky00 is 100% spot on, you need the MH2P Mod Kit courtesy of the amazing work by @CarmineS
It's super easy, takes 5 mins and can be easily removed in the future
