Roman is the MAN !!! I got the factory direct kit (again, an anniversary present from my wife). Yes, it's $30 cheaper than Roman, but it doesn't include the little things that make installation in our Cayennes a breeze. I contacted him earlier today about removing one of the connections on the back. Even though I didn't buy directly from Roman (didn't know when I called him), he quickly answered my question and helped me out.
Then, a little while later, when I typed my next issue in this forum, Roman quickly texted me pictures of what I needed to do and is sending me his kit to accommodate the install in my CD. Awesome customer service (even for those who weren't a direct customer of his) and just an all around good guy for our Porsche hobby. A big difference between factory direct and Roman direct support !! Worth the few extra $$$$ IMHO.
Next up is my son's Cayenne and we will make sure we buy from Roman this time !
Thanks Roman !!

Another word of advice for once you get it installed, make sure you remember to go into the PCM media and uncheck the box to disable your BT Audio. I forgot to do this, and I pestered Roman on Facebook for weeks, maybe even a month, trying to find out why I could almost never have my CarPlay audio working at startup. Ever since I discovered my silly mistake, the CarPlay experience has been near perfect. Leaps and bounds more reliable that the 2022 Ram I had in a recent previous life.

I’ve had my unit installed for almost 6 months now and it has been flawless. The only thing I had an issue with was it didn’t connect to the factory backup camera. I ended up getting an aftermarket GreenYi camera installed and the video quality is much improved vs the factory camera on my 2013. The old camera was washed out, looked almost black & white, field of view was narrow, and the angle was too far towards the ground.
I don’t have any pictures of the old camera but I’m sure if you have an older 958 you know what I’m talking about. Here are some pictures off the new camera:

To turn off Aux Bluetooth for reliable audio connection in Carplay:
Media button > Option > SET MEDIA/AUX > Uncheck box for AUX Bluetooth
As for my phone calls, all of mine go through the PCM. The Mr12Volt is designed to switch over to the PCM to make calls. This is the way you want it so that you can answer from the steering wheel, but also so that your phone functions work properly if you're not inside the CarPlay module.

Any internal hardware upgrades on the new model like something to fix the color banding in the graphics? Something like that would probably be worthwhile to upgrade from the first gen kit.

Besides the mic integration, any additional features or benefits in comparison to the original version (blue module)?
Will the original version still be available for sale at a discounted price alongside the updated version? Will the updated version have a different price than the original version?
