Good to know, so the person who asked the question should be all set.

I sent an email to this address, thanks.

Assuming I can pull the vent out, the rest of the process does not seem to be a difficult one. Some questions if you don't mind.
My car does not have a push to talk (albeit call button) on the left handle of the steering wheel. Do I need to install a mic somewhere in the vent? The manual says I can press the hang-up button for 10 seconds to talk to Siri, then why the mic was included?
My car also has a USB connector in the center console, but the video shows that the USB was installed. Each car is different so I would appreciate it if you could provide some guidance.
Best,
Jon

Hey guy,

I just got an promo code from ISUDAR that is valid until tomorrow (may be reactived later).
You can safe 14% on it. I ordered just now in EU, so I paid now with shipping (to Germany) 224€.
So I you consider to order, that is your chance to safe some extra ;-)

I was also told that there should be an FW Update available within the next two weeks. You should Check the Webpage and Facebook side from ISUDAR. Update should than be able with the USB:

Carlinkit Wireless Apple Carplay Kit For Porsche/Panamera/Cayenne/Macan/Boxster911 718 PCM 3.1 (xyingly.com)



Code: Black2021

Best regards,
Max

Did they say anything about the update? What will it fix?

mrmaxx

unfortunately only “fixing a bug” 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good news on discount....this unit is even on Amazon now in Canada.
Was it Kimii that communicated a F/W fix is on the way ?? Sure hope it is the Bluetooth connect .........

Fantasmos

We used to chat on whatsapp but they stopped responding after I sent them a long and very detailed bug report..

They aren't the most responsive set of people (could be a language barrier?), however, they do have a lot of products on market.

Ok. Sorry to bother you again. I installed the Isudar unit on my Panamera.
Because of the power insert, it didn't seem to have clearance for Isudar unit at the first glance. So I took it away assuming that I don't need XM radio anyway. Now PCM is not even booting. I guess that it's because of the XM radio unit I took away.
I tried rebooting PCM 3.1 with holding the INFO and SOUND Buttons at the same time for about 10 - 15 seconds to Reboot/Reset. Oh, bummer.

DrJet

Put everything back on, PCM boots normally. So it must be the XM radio I took out or I have a faulty power connector. I decided not to bother anymore as the purpose is only for the map. Big thanks to the OP and others to guide me on this adventure.
If someone wants to take out the vent, I would recommend:
and

You need to take a look at this video for removing the vent.

If you follow this procedure, you don't need to purchase a toolset from aliexpress.com.

One last thing, the CD player connector should be installed in opposite direction from other connectors.
I hope that others have a successful adventure.
Best,
Jon

Thank you Kimi, and welcome to the blog

After update:

Willy07

Thanks Kimi !!

@Mikke, same behavior ? Or fixed…..

Santirx

@Kimiiii Thank you! These is one of 3 issues I wanted to see solved. This works great now after the update.

As a reminder, the other 2 issues are:

1. Steering Wheel Return Button is controlling CarPlay in the PCM, when this button is really intended to control the Multi Function Display in the Instrument Panel. Desired Behavior: The Steering Wheel return button should not control CarPlay. Only the PCM return button should control CarPlay.

2. When phone is paired to PCM (like it should be) and you are in CarPlay, when pressing the steering wheel phone call receiver button, the calls goes on hold. Desired Behavior: When phone is paired to PCM and call is received, we should be able to press the steering wheel phone call receive button and call should not go on-hold.

Kimi, I know you have answered a number of emails saying this is normal behavior, but you said the same thing about the volume control. Now the volume control is completely fixed, and I hope you can take care about these other two issues.
