I'm a Mac user too. Format a USB drive to Fat32, then copy the contents of BSJ_2021-09-02 folder (make sure no other files are inside the USB drive). The only items you should see are ISPBOOOT.BIN and the folder titled "OSU_Settings". Then insert the USB drive to the USB female cable provided with the iSudar module. You go to the same place where you showed me the photo of the version and you should see an opinion to update. Click on Update, and you should be on your way. Hope this helps.

Bud, in the audio settings I normalized all values to 27. I don’t have that volume variation anymore. Music volume goes down for maps announcements and then returns to previous volume. Much more smoother transition. And this is on the 0902 update. Thanks

I’ll set mine up that way also. Even with all the little glitches I have no regrets doing this.

Thanks again

Forgive me if this has been mentioned, but I didn't see it. You can order this direct from their website (isudar.com) for significantly less than aliexpress. I also started my checkout, but got pulled away. A few minutes later, I recieved an email with a coupon code for $20 off to complete my purchase. This brought the total shipped price to $290. I thought this was a nice gesture, so I went ahead and gave them back a $10 tip to make it an even $300 shipped.

I currently have the NM Automotive box in my 2014 991.1 Turbo S. I will be installing the Isudar box in my 2014 970.2 Turbo once it arrives. I'm curious to see if there will be any noticeable differences between the two. Standard shipping says 7~15 days. I will follow up once it's installed.

Based on feedback from users who have installed both, the most positive one seems to be that the iSudar module is more responsive and instantaneous compared to the other modules which come with an extra box (Joye, NM, 9xx). Please do keep us posted on your experience, and make sure you have the correct standoffs. Even after multiple emails they never shipped the correct height for me to clear the XM board. @Topshelf guided me to the correct height. I used a 20mm, 16mm, and one screw in mine to clear the XM board.

@vman932 Another point to add is that ordering directly from the iSudar means you don't need to pay the import tax, but buying on AliExpress forces you to pay this fee.

drove my car today and had a couple of glitches.

I tried to do a search with Waze using my voice, didn't work and then I couldn't adjust volume in CarPlay afterwards. I had to come out of CarPlay.

Stop to get gas, when I got back in and started my car my CarPlay screen was frozen and I couldn't unfreeze it.

BW369

sorry that you’re having issues. Were you able to reset the system in CarPlay settings and reconnect? Hopefully that would fix the issues.

dbhajek

I just drove home with it frozen, the music was still playing. Im sure after it totally powers down it will be fine.

gilbert823

i have this issue as well, when you turned off the car, and manuelly turn on the PCM again, the carplay screen will be frozen. I am able to replicate this issue in the OEM software. I am still debating if i should update to the 2021-09-02 software. Does this solve this issue as well.

gilbert823

aw thats why, i realize Isudar kit, the mic that come with only fit Cayenne, Macan and Panamera as i think the MIC mounting point is on the dom light area. Their MIC wont fit in the 911, cayman or boxster as the mic mount inside the steering cover.

Now i am trying to figure out how i should mount it lol.

I ordered one of these units this afternoon. I’m hoping that when it arrives, it will be current with all updates and most recent revisions.

Looking forward to finally having CarPlay in the Porsche.
(As all of my other cars already have CarPlay).
