PCM video in motion
Im looking to get video in motion on my 13 Cayenne Diesel PCM. Before anyone gives me the whole spiel about "iT iSn'T sAfE tO wAtCh MoViEs WhIlE yOu DrIvE", I'm asking because I do some serious road tripping and it is nice for my family/passengers. I've had it easily enabled in almost all my (new) cars, and haven't found any solution yet for the 958.1.
Has anyone successfully coded their PCM or added a module that will allow for video in motion on the PCM?

How would this be better performance....
You have to put some ghetto windshield mount to hold to ipad so the passenger and rear seats can see? and then some lagging audio through the cars bluetooth? Wouldn't having the ability to use a pre existing screen and proper surround sound audio actually be the better option?

Bluetooth connect your iPad to the car and then hold (one of your passengers) the GD thing...Driver isn’t supposed to be watching anything other than the road anyways.

For others, no. Especially if they use headsets or airpods.
Besides, how are you going to get media to the system? Stream it? With the associated lag and whatnot?

I found a plug and play interface, which has a port for an HDMI. So ideally it wouldn't be a stream.
Here is the interface:
I'm sure it can be done. Just asking if anyone HAS done.

Are you serious? One is meant to show gps and option lists, the other is literally meant for multimedia...
Bluetooth connect your iPad to the car and then hold (one of your passengers) the GD thing...Driver isn’t supposed to be watching anything other than the road anyways.

Also, if you're playing the movie through your cars audio you don't need the multimedia menu.....
And not for nothing if you have to say "the GD thing...Driver isn’t supposed to be watching anything other than the road anyways." you clearly didn't read the first post.....I'm not looking for a lesson in morality ot traffic law, I'm looking to see if anyone has done this successfully.

The board in that amazon link looks just like the CarPlay board that you can buy from AliExpress. There is a monster thread on CarPlay.
Once you have this you can use an app called “CarBridge” to mirror your iPhone/iPad screen.
no lag in the video or audio... great for listening to sports center through the espn app while parked.

I don't use the Cayenne GPS its super outdated the phone GPS is 10x better.

I didn’t recommend using the PCM gps, I simply stated that that is what it was designed for, it wasn’t designed to play movies on. An iPad was designed to play movies on.
Would you spend big money on modifying your Cayenne for track use or would you just get a Boxster? Similarly, would you modify your Boxster for use at Home Depot or would you use your Cayenne?
You’re trying to make a round peg fit in a square hole.
FWIW- As soon as the sun begins to shine on your PCM, you can kiss your movie goodbye.
$500 IPad with HD resolution and a screen twice as big vs who knows how much to force a low resolution screen to play movies? What’s the refresh rate of the PCM anyways? Can’t be good.

Keep us posted. I knew this thread would go south and I understand both sides of the coin. Still interested in how it comes out.
The car is one place where we can actually unplug. As humans we are way to plugged in.

As mentioned in one of the comments, you can add a CarPlay module to the original PCM. This will allow you to mirror your iPhone screen on to the PCM (wired).
The app “carbridge” is not an option unless you jailbreak your iPhone.
The product link is: https://a.aliexpress.com/_dTLPcXo
the coupon code is 3YO9QX23GXDD.

Here's a thread you might be interested in. Some guys were having issues with it so proceed with caution.

Again, BLUETOOTH connect to your Cayenne...Everyone will be able to listen to the audio that way.
