Default Carplay added to Macan 2018 Base

J

Just wanted to share my awesome experience with Simaservis1108 today. He activated Apply Carplay in my 2018 Macan. The whole process took about 45 minutes. I can honestly say that not having Apple Carplay was the only thing about my Macan that I did not like. My Porsche Macan is now complete. Sima is super knowledgeable and very helpful in getting it done.

I had completely given up on getting Carplay after going round and round with my local Porsche dealer. They wanted over $2000 to do the Carplay upgrade and refused without doing the voice stalk. What's even more scarier is that they had never done one.

All is good...[img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]

Just PM simaservis1108. He can tell you what you need. On my 2018 Macan GTS he added Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Porsche Voice Activation and updated my maps. Great guy to work with. There's also several threads here giving you this information. Here's one: https://rennlist.com/forums/porsche-...stalled-2.html. See my post #22 for lots of details.

What’s up w this thread? Googling shows CarPlay as standard on 18 Macan and it was on ours. Was standard equipment different outside the US?

simaservis1108 is a life saver. Quick and easy update and now I have my Apple CarPlay working. I use MagicLink to make it wireless CarPlay, and it's working like a charm. This just saved me thousands in Porsche labor or aftermarket hardware.
