Thanks for the replies.

My car does have sat nav and voice control so seems my OPC is quoting list for the software and a ‘trying our luck’ amount to install it if it’s literally just a software upgrade, which I assume can’t be that hard.

I’ll see if my OPC can do better or if not I’ll try some others aiming for a bill starting with a 3

Cheers

What’s the appeal of car play? My turbo has it and I barley use it. Can do most of what air play offers via bluetooth.. maybe I’m not using the full features

I had the same stance as you until I tried it. First, the plug in connection keeps the phone charged, second, the apps are all more intuitive and easy to use because the interface is native to the software. For things like Waze and Apple Music it’s just a better experience.

Thank you, had a feeling that was the case with Porsche. Annoying as my mum has a Japanese car that also does not have Nav but does have CarPlay and android auto
I have 66 plate macan s with no nav but it does have Apple Car-play.
That’s interesting as I thought you had to have the nav module. I will enquire next time I am at the centre.

+1. Rarely listen to music in the car and the PCM Nav is fine although my live traffic will come to and end next month when car is 2 years old.

I used to be a Luddite until I started using car play for Waze. Now I would def look for it in my next car and wouldn’t bother speccing the manufacturers nav. I don’t listen to music in the car too often but when I do I now use the Spotify app via car play.....

This is why I've been looking at adding it, mainly for Waze or iPhone Tom Tom app plus music streaming.

Trouble is OPCs are currently quoting me £600 plus which I'm not willing to pay
