Hi,

I’m not sure if I (or my wife) have changed something, or if there’s been an update, but whenever we use CarPlay now there’s a useless 1/3 of the screen taken up by text saying ‘CarPlay is active’, where there used to be the info tiles.

Can I get the info tiles back?

Car is a 2022 Macan.

Thanks!

Joel

Edit: basically the same issue as this…

If you tape the small arrow next to it/the useless screen you can get some widgets to appear here instead of text. What I haven’t worked out is how I get full screen CarPlay which would be useful when using google maps. I don’t want to feel Porsche has deliberately made car play worse than their pcm…

Hi Banz
Annoyingly you don’t get full screen CarPlay with PCM which is a shame ..perhaps they might change that !!

Worked for me yesterday on my gen3. I have had the successful OTA update.

Poor implementation from Porsche I'd offer. Unless it can be changed by the user.

These are the aspect ratios CarPlay supports

And this a third party add on to give CarPlay (showing full use of the screen but not in a Macan?)
