I bought one and couldn't get any audio out and the radio was dead - unable to get a refund, so I have it sat on a shelf.... I guess these are the risks you take.
Did you pull the orange fiber optic cables out of the OEM 48 pin connector and transfer them to the supplied "splice" 48 pin connector? I forgot this as well and experienced no audio from any source (AM/FM/CD/USB/etc.)
I will eventually put together a summary of my lessons learned with pictures- in the interim if you have questions shoot me a PM

I also installed the Joyeauto PCM 3.1 Wireless Carplay unit on my 2016 Macan S with no issues. I also have beta iOS13 and it's great that my iPhone is still usable when carplay is on. Their customer service was also quite responsive
when I didn't know how to setup the wireless Carplay initially. They had a video call with me to walk through how to set it up (via WeChat). Kevin was the guy that I spoke with and here's his contact if you guys are interested or have any questions regarding the installation.

Will give this a go when I get a moment, thanks for the heads up!
Has anyone figured out how to get Apple Maps to go into night mode when the headlights are on? Mine stays in day mode all the time and it is distracting.
Does Joyeauto offer firmware updates for their systems? Their website seems to be password protected. Thanks.
I'm still after 2 months trying to get my money back from this company. Beware of dealing with Joyauto from Hong Kong. I'm getting nothing but the run around. They are asking questions as if I still have the unit, this is crazy.

The carplay apple maps should go into night mode when your phone does. You might have to enter a destination and start navigation to get it to switch I can't remember.
Is there a reason why you would want the switchover to be with headlights instead of just day/night time from the phone? This is 100% a carplay/apple thing not implemented in the box.
I got mine up and running. The only issue is I can’t get navigation prompts through any map function (Google/Apple) or Waze. The audio (music/podcast) pauses like the nav app is giving instructions but there is no audio. Thoughts? JoyeAuto said connect via aux instead of BlueTooth but I can’t. I don’t have a headphone jack. I tried a cable to the factory USB connector in the center console but that didn’t work.

You need to connect the AUX cable
from the 48pin splice (female) to the joyeauto carplay box using their supplied cable.
Lots of different versions if you have android as well.
phil.
$380 ain’t bad, I bet Best Buy could even do this. My local Best Buy gets Porsche’s, Ferrari’s and Lamborghini all the time so they’re use to it and still do what would take me all day for $100
EDIT: nevermind I saw all the complains, I’m not risking it

I think what JoyeAuto is referring to is you need to set your audio input on your PCM to AUX, then it will use Bluetooth to establish a connection and then route audio via wifi. It took me a while to figure everything out. Let me know if that helps.

Thanks skinnytirez. That worked perfectly. Still having some intermittent issues with making and receiving calls through CarPlay but very happy with the upgrade and will say JoyeAuto was very good at responding to questions though there is something of a language barrier.
Hi Bolen, and thanks for the important post. I too have a 2013 Porsche Cayenne with 6-speed manual transmission. I would not sell it if someone offered me its original sicker price. It has only 35K miles now. I was looking for a retrofit Apple CarPlay and backup camera. I sent an e-mail to Erik using the e-mail address you provided in your post. it came back as undeliverable. I will try to call him tomorrow.
My Cayenne is really basic; it came with a standard radio and DVD player. I did not want to pay for PCM 3.1. Do you think we could still retrofit a CarPlay system with 7-inch screen and backup camera?
