The NM Automotive one, mainly because of the UK support. Have to say, everything has been super professional so far.

Fingers crossed!

Just bumping this thread - has anyone tried the units from Elite Carplay - https://www.elitecarplay.co.uk/product-page/porsch...
Apparently an offer on for £99 off with the code "ELITE" though doesn't seem to be working at the mo.

They look like rebranded Joyeauto units and at £400 with the coupon are a comparable price to ordering from Joyeauto direct (458 Euros).

The Isudar units appear to be simpler to install but doesn't look like they have one to work with CDR-31 (CD-R 3.1 unit or whatever it's actually called!!).

Does anyone know of anywhere to get the Joyeauto units a bit cheaper, or know of any alternative car play units for our base stereos?
I've looked on Alibaba but it's a bit confusing and the search is rubbish.

Thanks!

Fitted mine on Thursday afternoon. Works really well,gets onto the carplay screen automatically about 10 secs after turning the ignition on.

I had cause to phone Nick at NVM for a bit of help initially. He was really helpful, guessing my issue instantly and I guess resisting the temptatioon to mention that I was a bit dim.As I expected, I hadn't read the instructions carefully enough and missed the detail about fitting a couple of the ribbon cables. (There's a notch at one end which must be fitted to the sub board that I hadn't noticed.)

The actual mechanics of opening the headunit etc is very straighforward even for someone who hasn't trained as a gynaecologist. I also made sure I covered everything in cloths, even taping one to the at risk area of the steering wheel to be extra careful.

Can I ask if all is well with this upgrade after some real world experience, some of the ones available sound a little flaky?

I've had my NM Automotive one for almost 2 years (albeit in my 987.2, but it's the same tech) and it's been great. Continues to work flawlessly and I wouldn't be without it. Really has brought my oldish car into the modern era!

Mine has worked perfectly since I installed it. Such a fundamental piece of kit these days, I'd be lost without it - especially the Waze and Google maps functionality.

Get it bought!

You're not helping convince me I don't need to do this hehe

I presume you have a 3.1 PCM, does yours have BOSE and DAB?
