I've got waze on my android phone.

Is there a way to use it in my macan (Gen 2).

Just really want to try it for the speed camera location...

I think you can get a gizmo to give wireless CarPlay or Android access on the PCM. My wife has one on her Boxster which is a PCM before the Macan gen2

Thanks. So no way of doing it without buying some magic box?

They are not expensive in the scheme of things, I think ours was £110 and it’s complete wireless connection- the box, which is small, just lives in the centre storage compartment 👍

Literally plug into the USB port, pair your phone with it (Bluetooth) and you’re done. Took about 2 minutes if that - now she can leave her phone in her bag and CarPlay comes up on the PCM after a few seconds 👍
