My car has the PCM 4.0 I guess but it doesn't have Carplay. How do I get that enabled? Is that even a possibility? Should I ask this question elsewhere in the forum?

Hi Rajiv.
You said your car doesn't have navigation so that would suggest you don't have Connect Plus, although a quick look at the standard R4 spec in India indicates it does. You need to have that to get CarPlay. I suggest you contact your dealer to ask if Connect Plus is an after sales option for your car.

many thanks for the clarity - enjoy your motor!

Congratulations Rajiv and welcome to the forum.

I just got back from a trip to Punjab, India where I traveled around in a combination of vehicles - but nothing like the GTS. The majority of cars on the road at the moment are Suzukis, Toyotas, Mahindras and Hyundais.

The roads where we traveled ranged from smooth tarmac to dirt tracks covered in rocks and debris and as such, I don't think the 21"s would be a good match.

All the best with your Macan and I look forward to seeing more images of it in use around India!

rajivsrihari, yeah, foregoing answers should help with Carplay issue. If still not - try simply to google it, I've been watching this kind of issue reporting on some Canadian (I guess) forums. When I write my custom essay about reports my company asks me (on Porsche theme BTW), and I face any kind of problems - I simply look for solutions on 2 or 3 other forums, and then try to share it with people, who have the same.

Wow, that's expensive!

A little more than Ratan Tata's 1 lahk Nano!

I was in India a few years ago, and I would be in constant fear driving a large car such as a Macan around there. Good luck!
