I use Android Auto mostly for Waze and Youtube music, but all other apps including google now are working fine. I choose default view because I use right panel menu quite often.

Very pleased with the outcome,
Took about an hour for innovativesoft to complete the job. I am UK based and the work was done remotely.
Great price for what I got in the end -> full screen CarPlay/ Wireless CarPlay and android auto.

I thought what he provided required you to connect your phone with a cable but you say wireless. Are you also using a wireless dongle of some sort?

Hello everyone, I have just registered as a new vendor here, I have used my personal account posted few threads about the complicated project on PCM5 in this forum before, for those of you who are interested can search the forum to see more detailed of this in technical prospective.

As a vendor I am here to offerr the service of activating full screen CarPlay in your infotainment system (PCM5)

As we all noticed already, all owners with PCM5 system has only 2/3 screen when in CarPlay screen, this may annoyed a lot of people, the great news is that we have made the screen can be fully utilised for CarPlay display and the activation is as simple as 15mins remote service

And we know that PCM6 on 2022 Cayenne has got full screen CarPlay on PCM6, but now you don't need to change your car, just do this simple activation you all have full HD resolution CarPlay screen just like PCM6 on 2022 model



After the activation you can have Full HD 1920x720 resolution





At the same time, Android auto can also be activated with full screen display






There is an other full screen option you can choose






it leave the bar on top and right side of the screen

However you can see the difference is that icon is really small as it just stretched horizontally which really strange resolution 1772x600

For a lot of app won’t show content properly as below :



You can see that only shows half content at bottom due to this stretched resolution

With 1920x720 resolution, you can have all content showed no issue at all



For the whole screen 1920x720 full HD will not have such issue at all

You may ask how to access the car menu in full HD 1920x720 mode

1.the button on the left doesn’t give you any good features except the shortcut to go to any sub menu

2. to do that, you either press the Porsche log in CarPlay screen to get back to main menu or any physical button just below the screen



Click tie icon you will get back to main car menu

And any buttons below the screen will dose exactly the same as the bar on the left of the screen



Anyway I can do both, so just try to explain which one is better

You can choose whichever you like, Both options are available







For your confidence of using our service, we have done more than 500+ cars in past 6 months and had 100% customer satisfaction
The number of the Porsche owner we service for this full screen CarPlay will give you more
confidence than thousands words from any other vendors




All you need to prepare is a windows computer with teamviwer installed and a cheap usb network card can be purchased on eBay or Amazon

If you are technical person, you can also use our automate online tool to do all by yourself

Contact me if anyone of you are interested this upgrade and I guarantee it will be really worth to do and make you love your car more than ever.
I just had Innovative Soft install the whole screen apply CarPlay on my 2020 911. First of all, he was very accommodating in the installation process, patient as I am not the most tech savvy. His patience and detailed procedures made it seamless. I had some struggles with wifi and he was very accommodating.

Secondly, the whole screen option is working amazing. Highly recommend it.

Just completed this upgrade for my 2019 CT. NGL My father in law laughed his *** off and said I was crazy when I told him some guy in New Zealand logged on to my car over a VPN and updated the software. 😂 But I can assure you it's quite safe and easy to do.

Props to Raymond from Innovative Solution who was very accommodating and clearly done this a zillion times as he worked quickly without fuss. The car's firmware was pretty old, which first needed to be updated before we could get to the wholescreen CarPlay mod. Also I didn't have access to a Windows machine so I used a Windows VM on my Macbook Pro, which slightly complicated things yet it went smooth nonetheless. I would recommend a Windows laptop though if you're not tech savvy.

They offer fullscreen or wholescreen and went with the latter even if it's a bit pricier as it's a nicer experience imho. Standard PCM controls can be access via the physical touch buttons below the screen, or by clicking the Porsche icon. As a bonus, it now goes straight into CarPlay when I connect the phone, where previously you had to scroll the left icons and fiddle about.

Wasn't a huge fan of CarPlay initially but this makes it so much slicker and think it will be my new default.

@innovativesoft One thing I was curious about, (other folks here might be too), is how close is this wholescreen PCM5 mod that you offer, compares with newer Cayennes that have PCM6 factory installed, in terms of features? The wireless CarPlay is a nice bonus and brings it closer to PCM6, as does the HD and entire screen.

I know PCM 6 has slightly better hardware, but if a PCM6 retrofit is available would there be any point in doing that too if one has the wholescreen PCM5 mod applied?

Thanks

has your one not got wireless CarPlay ? I can try to enable it for you(no charge)

also PCM6 retrofit is not possible, there are so many difference in term of wiring and other control module compatibility. Such as amp, internet, gps antenna…etc

We got wireless CarPlay activated yesterday. Was quick and easy and works great. Thanks Raymond for the awesome after sales support.

I did my first work with Raymond about a month back to enable Android Auto and fullscreen Apple CarPlay (see below)



As a happy customer, I decided to give the wholescreen version a try just now (see below)



As you can see, both look great, so depends on your preference. But one thing for sure, working with Raymond has been a great experience eventhough it's pretty late where he is (almost 2am). So, those who's still on the fence, don't hesitate and engage his service with confidence!

I had Raymond install the whole screen version on my 2020 Cayenne last night. He was super accommodating and very patient. It took a little more than an hour since I had to run out and get another flash drive since the one I tried to use wasn't working. I'm am very happy with the end result--I can now easily read whole screen Waze and even if I split the screen with spotify, it's still way larger and easier to read than before the modification. I highly recommend this upgrade. One word of advice, though, is to make sure you have enough USB-C to A converters and USB-C to ethernet converters if your laptop doesn't have those ports and your Cayenne has USB-C ports in the console.

Nice one @scb. Totally agree about wholescreen.

In case anyone was wondering. You can remove apps and change the display order in Carplay settings on the iPhone.
