Firstly, the Mr12Volt system is only one of its kind in the marketplace.

Additionally you will maintain any camera systems currently in your vehicle while allowing for future upgrades as this new hardware permits cameras in the front, rear, and side.
Other features include
Mirror Link - Phone screen mirrored on your screen. This includes vertical and panoramic orientations.
15 bar DSP equalizer

Pcm 3.1

PCM 2.0, PCM 2.1, CDR 23 (with CD changer), CDR 24(with CD changer) - This is a basic wireless Bluetooth upgrade, not Carplay or Android Auto
I was somewhat interested as I'm not really 100% satisfied with the dongle situation I bought last year- but I see your solution is only applicable for the first gen 95B.1 Macan.
I'd be interested when/if you have something for PCM5.

The only downside I found with these units is that (due to the inherent design of the external PCM inputs) you can't listen to the built-in FM/AM or satellite radio and also have the CarPlay functionality running on screen.
The only way to get tunes or audio programs while using these solutions is to use an audio source that's also in the CarPlay interface (Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc.)
Disappointing to me because I had wanted to utilize my existing Sirius subscription (and not by eating up my data plan by app streaming) while also using a more modern navigation app such as Waze at the same time.

Very good and useful video. Do you have a video of its operation?
Here is a boot video of my own cayenne. Note, that I later set my cayenne as a "safe" connection on my android so it boots right in without me selecting "android auto".
