Connected via the usb in the centre console. Like gtipirelli, sometimes it would be ok, but most times not. Advised by OPC, that ipod needs to be updated. Not possible with the original type, so got a new ipod touch, which is possible for the software to be updated. But still problomatic. Been to the OPC on a few occasions with it, but they are unable to rectify it. The PCM screen shows all different messages on start up. USB, no device detected, device not supported, device not compatible. It's a real nightmare. Last visit to OPC said, not official Apple usb/lightening cable. Which it was, bought specifically to eliminate problems. Used original ipod on last car, a Merc, and worked perfectly every single time, for 10 years. Porsche could maybe look at thier software.
Agree with above. Basic device recognition demonstrates the system is flakey.

Yes should play fine. Have you tried a different USB port?

Alternatively use the SD card slot and copy music onto an SD card. Very easy to use

πŸ‘ yes works well.

Or even better is to sign up to Apple Music / Spotify and use carplay. I have the same music / playlists and music on my phone / all over the house / car etc all syncing with no work at all.

Once you do it you won’t go back to anything else.

My GTS is dated December 2016 and does not have CarPlay. It does recognise my iPhoneX as an iPod when connected however. Doesn't really help me and I wanted to use Waze and Google Maps.

How much for the CarPlay retrofit please folks?

A quick look at Tequipment shows this:

But note it says other equipment may be required to fit. Check with your OPC.
