Install app from Apple app store.
Done.

If you search app store for "carplay" you get millions of apps that do radio stations, but the more interesting ones are Spotify, Deezer, Audible, and a few others.

Thanks Goron. I thought this might have to be done via the vehicle as opposed the phone.

Presumably CarPlay recognises an app within the phone that is CarPlay compatible. I'll try it out.

CarPlay IS the phone.

Porsche just provide a screen and some buttons (and some telemetry).

Thanks for that. Added 2 apps and they appeared. Because I have quite a few apps on my phone and only Spotify showed in CarPlay I assume all the others I have, other than those just added, are not CarPlay compatible.

I'll have a look for some more now

Yes, it is only CarPlay compatible apps that show up.

I just read on another forum that Deezer has been removed from CarPlay. Doesn't apply to my PCM3, but anyone experience this?
