Hi All
2017SD looking to activate CarPlay and therefore will update the software from current 2016/17 version I have been told.
Can one expect issues once the software is update?
I have heard of Bose issues, stop start kicking in even in sport mode etc
Also, when one resets the unit to factory settings what exactly are the factory settings?
Thanks in advance!
CarPlay and software update
They worked on updating mine a couple of months ago as it was not updating.
No issues with my Bose, just SD card slots disappearing, ignition off and on cured it.
After activating Car Play are you aware that there is a Subscription to pay for some services?
Plus a data SIM may also be required

I’m no expert, but isn’t Carplay effectively just “piggy-backing” off your mobile phone? Therefore I don’t believe there is any additional subscription but would like to know if that is an incorrect assumption.Col Lamb wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2023 9:09 pm They worked on updating mine a couple of months ago as it was not updating.

I use Carplay almost as a default as I use it as the conduit for my music and also I like to use Waze rather than manufacturer SatNav.

Yes, that's correct. It uses your phone signal, data and battery, which can sometimes be a drawback, but the mapping is up to date.PJV997 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 4:05 amI’m no expert, but isn’t Carplay effectively just “piggy-backing” off your mobile phone?

To get some navigation and information services on the PCM a Subscription is required.
Look on the My Porsche site to see the detail, the image below shows what the subscription provides
I do not get Real Time Traffic on the PCM Sat Nav without the active subscription nor do I get map updates
There is always Waze if one wants to avoid paying a subscription, and in practice I have Waze on my Mobile and see RTT on the PCM screen.
On the older Gen 1 systems the connected Mobile can be used as either a Mobile or an iPod.
I understand that Gen 2 & Gen 3 systems operate slightly different and require a more expensive subscription

I have a Gen 2 Turbo and have no difficulty with Car Play and Waze. The subscriptions are £105 for car connect which works your Porsche App and £159 for Navigation and Infotainment, these are annual prices, they come FOC on new cars for the first two years.
Your SD is a Gen 1.
Gen 1 is really Gen 1A and Gen 1B, where in the B upgrade the PCM was changed and Apple Car Play introduced along with minor cosmetic upgrades and the inclusion of some Gen 1A options as Standard ie Rear Seat Heating, Mobile Phone Preparation, Sat Nav etc. became standard. The Gen 1B came mid 2016 if I remember correctly.
