Why choose this Porsche PCM 3.1 CarPlay interface?
Many Porsche PCM 3.1 systems do not come with factory Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. This interface adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto functionality while keeping your factory screen, factory touchscreen controls, and original Porsche PCM system intact.
Unlike basic AUX-based interfaces, this kit uses a MOST audio interface for high-quality sound through the factory Porsche audio system. It is designed to provide clear audio, a high-definition image through LVDS video input, and smooth integration with the original PCM 3.1 display.

Frequently asked questions
How can I get this installed and how much does installation cost?
You may purchase the kit from our website and either complete the installation yourself or have a local professional stereo shop install it. Installation labor varies depending on the shop’s hourly rate. This installation may take several hours depending on the shop’s experience and expertise.
Can I listen to the car’s radio or SAT radio while in CarPlay / Android Auto mode?
No. This kit uses the TV source, so the car’s native radio or SAT radio cannot be used while in CarPlay / Android Auto mode. We recommend using a radio app or satellite radio app through CarPlay or Android Auto instead.
Does this work wirelessly?
Yes. This kit supports both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Will the audio quality be the same as factory?
This kit uses the vehicle’s MOST system to interface audio, which provides high-quality sound through the factory audio system.
Will my phone charge while in CarPlay / Android Auto mode?
Yes. Your phone will charge while connected by USB.
Will this unit receive regular Apple CarPlay updates like factory systems?
CarPlay and Android Auto updates are handled through your phone. Updates will reflect on the interface when you use your phone with the system.
Does this unit support other languages?
The language setting is controlled by your phone. The interface will display based on the language used on your phone.
