Yep. I did wonder if they'd route the air vents through the back to cool it. Maybe they do but it's not enough.

800x480 actually. Which is fine considering you're not supposed to be reading tiny 10pt text on it.

It does get warm yes, but not because of the display, but because of what's behind it.
.
Its not fine it sucks, the resolution is less than PAL DVD which the PCM is supposed to be able to play.

A Samsung Tab of 2010 had a greater resolution than our PCM screens
PAL DVD is interlaced 720×576
So effectively 720x288 and the that's designed for 4:3 ratios.
Not exactly comparable.

I get you hate it but no need to spread FUD
Again you assume incorrectly.

Nowhere did I say hate, I said it sucks, Porsche put in a low res screen with what seems at least 8 year old tech.

Whilst the Macan system works the fact that once in CarPlay mode we get crap text on screen shows to me that Porsche engineering had a lot to learn in designing the Macan PCM and as we see in the new Panny PCM they learned well

Never heard of the word FUD so looked it up.

This is the first explanation I found: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=FUD

I think there must be another definition :D
Well I am pleased that there was indeed another definition to this one!
