My cayenne has been at the dealer getting some warranty work done and they said my Radio was draining the battery and suggested to unplug the radio so I don't get stuck out in the wild with a dead battery. A fix being potentially replacing the hard drive with a solid state drive (I asked on an existing thread in Audio/Electronics forum too), or replacing the expensive PCM altogether which doesn't sound fun for my wallet.

I've seen other CarPlay additions (not as good as mr12volt for me), but they use a tap into the fuse box and there's a bit of finnicky things with releasing your phone from it's wifi. Again mr12volt hasn't given me any issues with disconnecting from wifi or even any indication of battery drain the past month. My current working theory is the dealer just didn't lock my car and the battery drained. I'm considering just plugging the radio back in and testing this out but welcome any technical specifics from this group of folks with mr12volt.

This may be a old battery issue. I can't remember another user saying anything like this.

Hi. Does this allow for you to listen to SiriusXM via the native head unit and also use Waze or Google Maps simultaneously? Thank you.
