Hi all,

Search MIB hack here. I've done it and added wired Android Auto. Then I used a OttoCast dongle (Amazon) to make it wireless.
OttoCast does have a wireless dongle that converts Carplay to AA but I've had minor but annoying issues with it.

ottocast has worked great on my 991.2 . Recently purchased a second unit for under 100 bucks for another vehicle. With it I need to sometimes disconnect and reconnect. I purchased a usb-a to usp-c inline switch to cycle if needed so I'm not having to unhook it. This has only been a problem in the second vehicle, not the 991.2. The switch seems to be needed in vehicle 2 for quicker shutdown issues. Not a problm on the 911. Youstream , podcast and regular aa stuff all works. Do not update unless issues were the box instruction. a great and cool running location is between the seat and middle console. Stays put stays cool. Previous thread with pics. cheap cables and damaged cables cause reboots. I fear flashing for fear of bricking and dealer removing during service flash.

Here is the link @Got Bearings? referred to. Looking over it it looks simple enough but I paused when it was Bose Sound System update disabled and I got stuck on step 11 where I'm not sure what to do. I'm deathly afraid of bricking my PCM.

I haven't done it yet. Just got worried when I clicked the link in the instructions and it was a bad link so I decided not to. Do you know what this Bose thing is? Does it mean it doesn't update the Bose amp but doesn't affect the Bose system? I don't want to mess up my Bose soundsystem.

Interesting. Maybe I should try this first.
Found a video.
Same steps you went through?
