Frequently asked questions and limitations
Is every Porsche PCM system suitable?
No. The offer concerns PCM 5 with MH2p. Example models are the 911 (992), Cayenne, Macan and Panamera with suitable system equipment. Another PCM system and the year alone do not confirm suitability.
Where do I find the version information in PCM 5?
Open Settings, System, Software update and Version information. Please only view the information and do not start an update. The complete identifier must start with MH2p; we then check the specific vehicle and system combination.
What does CarPlay Fullscreen mean?
The Fullscreen-Patch is an optional additional service for a suitable MH2p solution. It concerns full-screen display and is assessed separately from the wired base activation and Apple CarPlay Wireless. This does not confirm suitability for other PCM generations.
Do I have to come to Hanover for activation?
After checking, the individually prepared solution can be supplied as a download or prepared SD card. Digital services are provided by download, and SD cards are sent as letters within Germany. We ship to other European countries offered at checkout exclusively by Deutsche Post Standardbrief International. Delivery time depends on the destination country. Personal appointments are arranged separately. Shipping costs are shown in the cart after a successful vehicle check and before ordering.
Is new hardware installed?
The described service is vehicle-specific software activation with instructions. It does not include general hardware retrofitting. This Porsche check does not require a USB photo check; the version and vehicle checks remain necessary.
Can I have the vehicle's voice control activated?
If voice control is not yet activated in your vehicle, we enable it at no extra charge as part of the checked activation for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
This addition is part of the individually checked smartphone activation. It does not imply a blanket commitment for every vehicle.

Make, model or software prefix alone does not establish suitability. The complete version information, vehicle details and USB equipment are decisive. Use the compatibility check before ordering.
