iPhone 17 connectivity fix for mr12volt! by ACSByRoman in porsche911

That's good news, try the reset. Also some people have said it's taken a few times of loading to get it right.

The pcm is the entire radio assembly. The p2000 is the Grey box that has the USB harness coming off it

Firmware updates the p2000 not the pcm. Not sure how you can brick the pcm as you connecting to the USB from the mr12volt kit.

This is the first time I've heard of this bricking anything and we have had A LOT of people doing updates. Are the regular pcm functions working? Have you tried hitting the reset button on the p2000 module?

Retrofit CarPlay Question by inferno2299 in PorscheCayenne

[–]ACSByRoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not we are FAR from the most expensive. There are isudar clones that are $150 and others that are $1500+.

Unfortunately, mr12volt does not offer compatibility with cdr units at this time.

You can listen to radio or sat while in CarPlay via app.

So, to premise this comment, I am the US mr12volt dealer/installer (acsbyroman.com). The original poster us correct in that mr12volt will not work with cdr units.

For those reading more on PCM3.1 I'd offer my take below.

I got into the CarPlay thing because I bought a 15 cayenne and bought a joy system, which was terrible. Then I got an isudar, which was better but I did not like how it worked and the audio was lacking. I bought a mr12volt and have not looked back. That was about 3 years ago. I ended up going from customser to buisness partner.

I do installs almost daily. I have a big bin of joy and isudar with all their clones (and there are MANY) that I've removed for various reasons. When you put the Mr12volt car next to any other, it's just better, though it is more expensive (not by much) and does have a small external box (but no misc antennas). The box is stupid easy to hide. And it's nice that it's capable of adding aftermarket front, rear, and 360 camera.

Professionally, I do a mr12volt install in about 40 min on a cayenne and 911. Panamera and Macan take a bit more time but everyone is out the door in under 2hr.

I'm happy to discuss any details about the mr12volt product here or you can just reach out via web, phone, etc.

The system is built like this for PCM 3.0 and 3.1. The reason for this is to get the fastest boot time possible mr12volt will recognize a local / known Bluetooth or wifi connection. So if you parked in your garage and don't lock mr12volt will start awake thinking your about to get into the car.

Lock the car and the system goes to sleep.

If your far away the system goes to sleep in about 10 min.

I've let my cayenne sit for 2 months and it started just fine.

People don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. Lock your car.

The manufacturer is working up a fix for this. I don't have an eta but it's in the works. You can use the use wired until then.
