Adding another DIY video to the library, this time another Apple CarPlay installation into a Porsche CDR-31 unit. My previous videos have focused on the PCM 3.1 / 4.0. This job is overall very similar, but the work you have to do on the PCM unit itself is very different. In this video I take you STEP-BY-STEP through the job, with an added bonus - a DIY Back-Up Camera segment too.

Very well made tutorial! One enhancement suggestion: you might want to consider using something like Tessa tape (a fabric tape used for wiring harnesses) on the long camera wire, so it doesn’t vibrate or rattle against the plastic body panels on its labyrinthine journey between the back of the car and the head unit.

Hi and hello from Germany, again a nice made video and easy to understand. I have an 997/2 Carrera S from Sept./2009. I would also like to install the module for Android Auto/Apple Carplay. I heard somewhere, I need additionally an AUX in module ??? Is the system you offer complete, or is more needed? Are there any error messages in the car's ECU? In the German Porsche forum you read something like this. Thanks for a short feedback. Andreas

Great! For these Natika cameras, do you need to do anything with the + or ground wires near the molex connector that connects to the camera? Or just hook the trigger wire up to the JoyeAuto and thats it?

@AutoAmateur 10 ай бұрын

No ground wire needed. Just hook it up to the JoyeAuto and you’re good!

Great video! What is the audio quality with the bluetooth audio? Is there a wired CarPlay option and would that give better sound quality?

@AutoAmateur Жыл бұрын

The bluetooth audio is actually really good. It's not as crisp as the PCM bluetooth, but to the untrained ear I don't think anyone would notice. You do have the ability to connect your iPhone or Android phone via a provided USB cable. The quality is a little better via that route though, yes.

Is it impossible to run the camera without removing the rear bumper? Can the top engine covers not be removed then using a snake try and run the wire down or up behind the bumper? I haven't really looked or attempted mine yet but I'd love to avoid taking off the rear bumper if I didn't absolutely have to. Thanks

How is the resolution on the backup camera with teh CDR31? I'm contemplating doing this, but have been warned about the resolution being so poor that I'll be very disappointed. but does low res backup camera >> no backup camera?

@AutoAmateur Жыл бұрын

The resolution was fine! I can share some photos if you want to send me an email to contact@autoamateur.com

Hello, Will this kit work on 981 cayman 2014 with the CDR31 and the BOSE Sound system ?

@AutoAmateur 9 ай бұрын

Yes it will!

@dale2thman200 10 ай бұрын

Does this unit stay in CarPlay mode when the ignition is switched of and on again, or does it default to standard CDR31 mode each time the ignition is switched off and on?

@AutoAmateur 10 ай бұрын

It works just like the PCM. Whatever mode is on when you turn off the ignition will return automatically when you turn the car back on. The only snag is that it can sometimes take up to 30 seconds for CarPlay to come back, so just be patient.

@filiperrios 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for the video. Where did you conceal the joyeauto main module?

@AutoAmateur 9 ай бұрын

Right behind the pcm unit itself.

@filiperrios 8 ай бұрын

@@AutoAmateur The CDR-31 already has an external box that goes behind (with the display flex cable), so there was no space for the larger box with the computes module. Thanks for the relply. I ended up placing mine double-side taped above the driver’s footwell on the inside of the dash space between the steering column column and division for the CDR unit / center part of the dash). The compromise is that it didn’t have enough clearance to connect the USB cable.

Hey James! Which Joyeauto unit should I get for a base 2018 Macan? Thanks!

You need the PCM 4.0 solution. Here it is! www.autoamateur.com/product-page/apple-carplay-wireless-for-porsche-pcm-4-0-911-cayman-boxster-macan-cayenne

I really appreciated your video as I have a 2013 991 and have no backup cam or Apple CarPlay and this is a very viable option. However I haven’t seen any customer reviews anywhere; might you offer a link? Also, please offer your recommendation for the actual backup cam.

Great video. Is the PCM 3.1 compatible for the 991.1 GT3?

@AutoAmateur 11 ай бұрын

Absolutely, if your GT3 has PCM 3.1. The 991.1 models came with either PCM 3.1 (with sat-nav) or CDR-31 (without sat-nav). Either way, I have solutions for both!!

@chartwellco8780 11 ай бұрын

Just got the 3.1! Can’t wait. Thanks
