So a couple of drives, post completion. the SXM radio quality is terrible - almost staticky sounding (especially noticeable when listening to talking). The USB be quality or CarPlay sound appears to be better. The nav worked for about 10 turns then "iGO Navigation is shutting down" is all that appears on the screen. I have no words.
If anyone has experience with the Nav issue, please let me know - was this how the defective cards behaved?
The car still goes vroom vroom and it's cornering hasn't been affected by this PCCM+ unit (I guess the heaviness is just the profit porsche has made from getting a german company to higher a chinese company to manufacture a german brand) 😆

I don't have the Bose system so no audiopilot ... The presets do behave strangely: I put in 5 presets and only the one I'm listening to populates with the channel graphic, the others stay 'Sirius XM". When I start it up again the preset is cleared of the graphic. At least it saved the preset ... I guess the station graphic is fed with the signal. My antenna is under the cowl (which is the best place for it) so I'm not sure ...

@myw @svandamme & all those who contributed. Thank you.
I just got my PCCM+. The install DIY is fabulous. I ordered Fakra cable on Amazon & Subaru USB & 10 pin white connector off eBay. Should arrive by Tuesday. Looking forward to putting this puppy in my 997TT.
What’s the benefit of using switched power from PCCM+ pin 8 vs. using power from reverse bulb of tail light? Does PCCM+ have ability to turn on camera when not in reverse?
Thanks all!

no - from my understanding it’s not supposed to
it only turns on when the reverse trigger is activated…. When
1) reverse trigger (canBus) is detected
2) 2ndary reverse trigger - pin6 is sent a 12v+
3) in traditional android world…The Fcam firmware app (when selected) will actually turns on the camera power and allow access to both front + rear video cam feeds

But... you coul fool the PCCM into turning it on, but adding a 12 volt to the trigger from another source.. with a switch.. I kinda was planning to do that.. but lost my interest.. can't be arsed to pull it out again at the moment, just started a new job and got plenty of other stuff on my mind

I have the same problem. *Exactly* which SXV300 did you purchase to get it to work? Is there some subtle difference in model, version, revision number, etc., that one can watch for?

The benefit is that all android based pcms including the pccm+ are supposed to power and ground the cameras. It is cleaner power + ground (nonshared) not to mention the deck has full control so that the reverseCam apps can be used anytime. With that said alot of these functions have been disabled for the pccm. Now the main reason to get it all working properly would be to eliminate the split second error messages when the reverse camera switches on and off.

@all:
I tried to play FLAC files from a USB-Stick. There is only one level of folders. No subfolders. All files of an album in its own folder. Every file is tagged properly the same way as supposed in the DIY-FAQ, Cover-art is embedded in the ID3-Tag of each file. The PCCM+ shows NO Frontcover at all in the coverflow. As far as I can see, there is a single empty tile for each and every file in the coverflow. I expected, that each tile represents one single Album. What am I doing wrong?
If I use MP3, the Frontcovers show up in the coverflow, but again: Each tile stands for a single file. Has anyone experienced the same and found a solution to display coverart of FLAC-Files AND to display only one albumcover per tile in the coverflow? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks all!
