FREE - Android Auto activation (and CarPlay)
If you have a PCM5-equipped vehicle (MH2p hardware version) and are an Android household, you're in luck! No need to pay someone hundreds of $$$ to enable it.
This mod has been available for a year but this release fixes a bug in the PCM that messed up the ability to switch between multiple Android phones (or back and forth between iphone and Android).
The process is very easy...download and extract the modkit to a formatted SD card, add the Android Auto mod file, pop into the SD slot in your console, wait a few minutes and you're good to go!
If you havent seen these mods before, be sure to add one of the full screen options at the same time
Thousands of people have already safely installed PCM mods over the past year; there is no risk of bricking your screen.

That is controlled by a different module (not MH2p). The auto start/stop setting is remembered between startups on my US Macan. It is likely the coding on a different module.

I assumed it'd potentially be possible to send a command to the module just like touching on the screen would.

First, @finpat997 and any others that contributed, thanks for the mod kit files, they are awesome!!!! I have a stupid question, if I have installed the "windowed" full screen mod, and if I later decide that I want the true FULL SCREEN Mod (not windowed), do I need to uninstall the "windowed" mod, or can I just add the true full screen mod to the existing installation. Hopefully this makes sense.
As a second question, I am an android user and will use the Android Auto mod. Can I add the apple CarPlay mod for future use? Or is it one or the other. Hopefully this makes sense.
Sorry if these are dumb questions.
Thanks

I assumed MH2P was the infotainment module - auto start/stop can be controlled from screen but Cayenne's (at least some model years) does not remember the last setting, and there's a separate OBD module have car "remember" it.

@finpat997 I have installed the Android Auto and Windowed Full screen, smooth install. Using the USB cable with my phone it has worked flawlessly, so THANK YOU!
I decided to try a wireless adaptor, I found a decent one on Amazon, plugged in to my USB 1 port and it worked perfectly for a few weeks, it was MAGIC! lol then one day it stopped working, the car keeps connecting and disconnecting from the device, I followed all the steps, resetting, forgetting etc, and nothing, meanwhile a wired connection still works perfectly. So I tried a different manufcatuer for wireless, and nothing same issue, the PCM will not recognize it. Curious if you may have any thoughts on this issue?
