If you want to go the wireless route I did a load of research and bought this... (fellow Gen II owner without integrated wireless carplay)
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186199317981
Works a treat and fits very nicely behind the clip inside the armrest storage.
When I first got it, it would occasionally cut out and wasn't massively responsive so I did (more) research and used the settings shown below.
One of my previous cars had integrated wireless Apple Carplay and using this adapter is just as good as that was.
I was sceptical but pleasantly surprised it all worked well.
Gen 2 - iPhone connection question - Voice control
I have a Gen 2 Turbo and enjoy wireless Apple car play, waze, voice control etc. with no trouble at all. I had an iPhone 12 until recently and upgraded to iPhone 15 and still works perfectly. You can also have several iPhones on the system, but I have never found out how to delete the old, out of date ones.

I assumed that all Gen 2 models came equipped with Wireless Apple Car Play, but obviously not !? Does anyone know the production date / cut off when cars started coming with Wireless Apple Car play for the Gen 2 models please.
I am looking at getting a 2019 / 2020 Gen II - going to look at one at Porsche Leicester today actually in Miami Blue !
Thanks
Andrew

My gen 2 works perfectly with wireless connection. The only reason I might connect with a cable is to charge the phone if the battery is low.

My Sept 2019 Gen 2 S came with wireless CarPlay. I don’t know if all Gen 2s came with wireless CarPlay, or whether it was added to Gen 2s at some point.
I do recall that the SE was interested in seeing how it worked when my car was delivered - I think the wireless element was a new feature on the Macan at that time.

I have just found this on the Rennlist forum , which implies all 2019+ model years ie. the gen2 onwards have PCM 5 which supports wireless carplay (It does say that some countries might disable it though)
From the Rennlist Forum:-
2017 -2018 is still using PCM4.
the hardware on PCM4 is not capable of doing wireless CarPlay .
only 2019+ with PCM5 has newer hardware which support wireless CarPlay.
