I've encountered a few mixed articles on how to install Android Auto and Apple Car Play on a 2017 Porsche Macan. Given I went through the process myself, I figured I'd put together a video to show everyone how to do it yourselves!
Prerequisites:
-Get an SD card (full size or micro with a full size SD card adapter)
-Have a computer
-Ensure you have a way of connecting to an SD card either natively with the computer or through an adapter or dongle
Steps to install:
--Preparing the SD Card
1. Format the SD card to Fat32. If the SD card is larger than 8gb, only format up to 8gb of usable space on the drive (you may need to use the disk management tool for this)
2. Go to this link, download the source.zip of the latest non beta/pre release based on the current date: github.com/Mr-MIBonk/M.I.B._M...
2. Extract the .zip folder's entire contents into the SD card
3. Go to this second link. Enter the guest username & password. Navigate to the MIB folder and then download the MIB Patches .zip folder: mibsolution.one/
4. Extract the second .zip folder's entire contents into the Patches folder on the SD card (ex. D:\Patches)
5. Rename the file "_Swdlautorun.txt" on the SD Card to "Swdlautorun.txt" to allow the firmware to install automatically once it's inserted into your vehicle
--Installing Android Auto / Apple Car Play on a Porsche Macan
6. Insert the SD card into the SD1 slot below the Macan's infotainment screen
7. Turn the vehicle to on (do not start the engine)
8. If you setup autorun, the update should start automatically, if not go to the Porsche Macan's infotainment screen and select a software update from SD1
9. The unit will now update and reboot itself 3 times as part of the process, let this complete. After the third reboot, set a 5 minute timer
10. Press the "Home" button to go to the Home screen. Then press and hold the Car & Tuner buttons at the same time for 5 seconds. A green menu will appear
11. Using the scroll wheel to the right of the infotainment display, scroll down (left scoll) to the MIB menu button. Press in on the scroll wheel to confirm
12. Scroll down further in this new menu until you see the "patch_unit_aio" menu. Press in on the scroll wheel to confirm
13. Scroll down to the Patch Now button, press enter to confirm this selection. Some work will begin
14. Once this is done, you can press Home to go back to the main menu. Plug in your USB cable into the center console and connect your phone. It should then start the process of pairing to Android Auto or Apple Car Play
