Yeah I've already reached out, but starting to feel like a broken record with them and I don't expect much

Duplicate post.

TBH, I don't know what you are doing, you didn't say what you did to execute the actual firmware upgrade!

Additionally the first two lines in the version screen don't match any of the recent information, what car is this in?

The video shows my entire update process, but basically:

• Plug in the USB flash drive with nothing but the binary
• Navigate to the "about version" menu
• click update

It's a PCM3.1 on a 981

Westcoast

Thanks for the details, your update process is correct, still your first two lines in the version screen are very different than the Macan version.

What problem/issue did Isudar give you an update for?

danby

I'm guessing they changed the way they do their version tracking at some point. My unit is almost 2 years old now. They provided it for the same range issue were talking about here

Westcoast

Interesting, and yet the Hardware and Software base versions are listed as the same...

@danby try to stick with it even tho it's annoying, it seems we have their attention now, and now that there are multiple customers pushing them on the same issue, they may take it more seriously

danby

Yeah I am. On the plus side, they are more responsive now. They confirmed that my firmware update is failing for some reason

Westcoast

I wished that we had a better indication from Isudar about these updates, a unique name for each bin would be a start!

the981blues

I suppose in a way that's good, better than the update working and not fixing it...

I'm hopeful that they're going to take this seriously.

So it looks like I may have solved my issue inadvertently, sort of, kind of on purpose... Hah!

I swapped my dash for a 718 dash today, I noticed when I had the glovebox out that one of the antennas was touching the metal frame that the dash attaches to, I figured that alone could be amplifying the signal.

As mentioned previously, I feel my antenna cables are WAY longer than whats pictured, and after watching the iSudar tutorial video, I can confirm they are WAY longer than what is shown there too. I taped them up so they're more about the length of whats in the video, made sure it's not touching any metal back there, and problem appears to be solved thus far...

Westcoast

I don't understand: " I swapped my dash for a 718 dash today. " ?

So you did not apply the update that Isudar provided?

I purchased the Isudar system for my 2016 Cayman GTS a year ago. I was excited to get CarPlay and forward/reverse camera operation with the package. Woo-hoo!

Long story short, it didn't work. Studied the videos and other tutorials out there before attempting the installation. Once I got everything back together I did a test before buttoning everything up. No display.

Scared, I put everything back to stock (thankfully it wasn't damaged) and told myself I would make another attempt sometime down the road.

That was today. Same results.

Having been in there twice, I think I'm done. I'll be looking at other alternatives.

Westcoast

Sorry to hear this, not sure how you could do a test of the unit without getting everything back together and at least slipped into place in the dash, power and connections are so short in the Macan, you have to commit to at least sliding it home in the dash.

Did you have 'all' connections to the PCM in place before trying it?
