I have a 2019 Cayenne.

Car play is great but you have to plug it in. No more!

I bought a Carlinkit v2.0 for £88 of Ebay ( the same box is sold for upto about £130 on Amazon and other Ebay listings).

Installation took about 1 minute, and then another minute to update the software.

When you enter the car it now connects on the last screen you were looking at on CarPlay - so if you had Spotify playing it just starts playing the list where it left off.

Is it reliable? I watched pretty much every independent review of these different wireless kits and invariably they all went into meltdown after a while, getting slower and hanging etc?

I have one too (in fact two)

No problems so far, though the Porsche unit gets its knickers in a twist every now & then (even without the CarLink unit).....

Works perfectly in my 2018 Audi though....

Anyone else got experience with this?

I’m hugely tempted but some of the YouTube reviews are still putting me off…..

Mine is still working.

Didn’t connect one day and I rebooted the phone. It wanted authorisation to use car play again which I think was a phone software update.

Can I ask if there is any mods to the PCM? Porsche units are notoriously fickle and I don't want to upset the unit.

Ok chaps, I took the plunge.

So far so good, really impressed how integrated and professional it is. No delay or lagging, instant connection, great - fingers crossed it carry’s on!
