Correction: To power the unit, use Anti Dazzle Mirror fuse instead of cigarette lighter fuse.

Which location is that fuse found? As for the connection, I saw in your video you removed the fuse and plugged the wire in. I guess the fuse then goes back? Thanks
@@johndestounis4529 the fuse to replace is C6, anti-dazzle. Just take that fuse out and plug in the new one that's already connected to the power wire.
Your video was easily the clearest and most concise on UA-cam for this install. I followed it using your video as a guide and it worked perfectly! Thank you!
Thanks! Just don't use the cigarette lighter fuse like I did in the video. I ended up using the auto dimming mirror fuse!
Hello, boss. I am a Chinese manufacturing company. I watched your videos and found out that you are an expert at reinventing android players. I have a team working on Porsche. Audi, Land Rover, Jaguar, android screen development and sales, so can we have more in-depth communication and cooperation, of course, can we also consider the comparative advantages? Look forward to cooperating with you
That is all nice unless you have a XM moduel. Also you will require 6 M2.5x20+6mm Instead of 3. 2 ea for the 3 hold down screws. this gives enough lift to clear the XM module. Also you will need to drill a hole for the Joy auto board power cable, as the XM connection cable is where this vid runs the Joy power cable.
Oops. Mistakenly replied to the other comment. Super informative video by the way my friend. I've an 09 C4S that currently has no sound. Ninety nine percent of the head unit functions as normal with the sole exception being the lack of sound issue. Not a peep. I'm guessing that I would have to probably sort that out before implementing this set up or does the set up itself supercede the existing audio sources or in my case, my current lack thereof? Thanks again man for the great video! Rodd.
It won't override any existing sources except for the AUX. It also won't fix your sound problem so it would be good to figure out what's going on there first.
Been following you for some time now and watched all your tutorials. Didn't realize this existed! Switched back from my aftermarket pioneer to stock unit! Thanks for the great guide!
Awesome! Thanks for your support!
Great video, and we’ll done with the install, very helpful! I wanted to know if this unit is still working well, and if you have a long term review or opinion? I’m being quoted about $3,000 to install an Alpine CarPlay unit with the fiber optic adaptors to hook to my Bose system in my 2010 997.2, with a back up camera. I like the is unit because it keeps the factory head unit, but I don’t want to waste $500 plus all my install labor if it’s not reliable, just to have to take it out to go to have aftermarket head unit installed anyway. I’ll use your link to purchase, hope that helps you out. Thanks
Thanks so much!
If the unit decides it will not come out that way ,is there a different method to remove it ,as mine just will not shift and do not wish to break it
I installed a similar looking harness to put in a Pioneer unit with back up camera on my 2010 997.2 4S Cabriolet. That particular adapter I used lost all the sound to the rear speakers because of the way the Porsche MOST fiber optic system works. There was no workaround. And with the top down you couldn't hear any music due to wind noise overpowering it. So I had to go back to the OEM equipment. Can you confirm the rear speakers still provide plenty of sound on this product? If so, I'm buying it. I have enjoyed 100% of your videos as I have both the 997.2 and a Cayenne so everything you do is 100% relevant for me. Thanks.
Yup, rear sound works just as before. Thanks for all of your support!
can u share where you put the mic in your setup please? Thanks

Can you advise where you positioned the harness bulk connector. I have a 2012 987.2 Boxster and I’m having difficulty getting the head unit back in place. The space is limited. I’m curious where you positioned the bulk connector. Thanks.
Thanks for your video. I have a question please if possible ? Is it possible to upgrade a 1971 Porsche 911E (Stick) with a new sound system & integrate Applecar Play into it ?
Hi there. I am having issues pulling out the unit. I turned all 4 Allen keys but it just wouldn't budge
Can this work with Boxter 718?
Does this have phone mirroring options? I cant seem to find an answer online. Can you mirror youtube videos for example. Thanks!
Nicely done, Can this be installed on 911.1 GT3 2015? Thanks
Yes it can. If your car has navigation, then this is the kit you would need ecarguides.com/product/porsche-pcm-3-1-wireless-apple-carplay-android-auto-mirrorlink-conversion-kit-911-boxster-cayman-cayenne-macan-panamera/
Hello my friend,
What is the color of the cable of the car, to connect to the lighting of the new radio (orange color of my new radio).
Your help please, I just need to find this one.
Well done and nicely explained for the rest of us!!
Hi CF
Great video. I am just about to install a Mr12volt unit an here one question.
Where did you place the microphone?
Peter. Denmark
My screen comes on all bright white , no buttons work. help
Check your ribbon cable connections
Could you guys tell me what the name of the product is for the wireless carplay installation? thanks
It’s so interesting you made this because the Cayenne I was going to purchase was a base model without a touch screen but I was wondering if I could order an aftermarket one and install it because on a 2008 it would be outdated anyway. Is this possible if I get a base model without a touch screen and just a radio standard and install a touch screen with apple play after or do I need the Cayenne with a touch screen already.
Is there a possibility in future this would damage anything in the car?
I also have a 997.2 and interested of doing this. However, I’ve seen people mentioned that on long drives the joyeauto unit gets very hot and started to have some glitch and freezes out. Any experience of this?
I haven't tried it on a long trip yet so it's hard to say. If that were to happen, I would just toggle it back to the normal functionality.
It is been good so far. I live in the tropical region of South East Asia and hasn’t missed a beat.
@@thinaharran just the answer I’m waiting for. Thanks!!!
I have a 997.2, does this swap work on pcm without navigation option? I can only connect blue tooth phone but don’t have Navi as an option. Thx
If your unit is a touchscreen, then yes it will work.
I tried this exact same mod for my Cayenne 958. I got the GTA Car Kit setup, which is identical to this JoyeAuto unit, just cheap chinese Alibaba rebranded crap. I got Android Auto to turn on for about 15 minutes. I was excited. Then it went back to a blank/black flickering screen. It's been a headache. I just wish there were easier aftermarket head unit upgrades available for us :( the guys at Car Toys and Best Buy are clueless.
Did you ever get android auto working ?
I have PCM3.0 with XM Radio option. Can remove the XM Radio card to make room for the Joy Auto card?
No, you can just stack to board on top. This site includes additional brackets so it will fit will the XM board. ecarguides.com/product/porsche-pcm-3-0-wireless-apple-carplay-android-auto-mirrorlink-conversion-kit/
Does this work with 997.2 equipped with BOSE sound system? I have PCM 3.0 with Nav and aux but there’s no mention anywhere of if will work with BOSE. Thanks 🙏
Yes, it works with Bose. I have the same setup as you!
What did you do with the blue connector that came from the car?
Hey I have a 997.2 (BY 2008) and am struggling to find a suitable solution - all the modules say they are for the BY 2009-2012. What do you think, would it work for 2008 anyways?
Does your car have PCM 3.0 (touchscreen) with the built in aux port? If yes, this will work for you.
Only 20minutes necessary to install the car play module… if and only if you spent before 4 years studying electronic engineering…
Definitely not a 20 minute job but definitely something you don't need an engineering degree for. Just need some experience working on cars or know a good audio technician.
Do you have any video of this working with an android phone?
this can work in a 997 turbo 2007???
Please, please, please do a back-up camera install for 997.2
Great vidéo !
Just a question : how do you connect the fuse to thé box and hide wire? 😅
You just run the wire along the footwell paneling. The power wire includes a fuse that you simply plug into the fuse box.
Great video!
would this void warrenty?
This was a great help when I installed it in my 997.2 Carrera, however when I pair I don't get that recognition screen on the head unit...in the JoyeAudio settings panel it says my phone is connected through bluetooth and wifi carplay is enabled but it doesn't go to carplay and I can't click carplay on the main menu. Any ideas how I can solve this?
Do you have the Aux plug inserted? Also try turning off the Bluetooth on your phone and turning it back on. Usually, your phone's name will pop up on the screen. Additionally, you can try to forget the module on your phone and try to connect again.
Thanks for the reply. Actually I unplugged that aux dummy piece and simply turning the ignition on so that the engine ran made the difference. That allowed the unit to detect my phone then boot up apple car play. It w works perfectly in that order now every time I start the car.
I think the problem before was because I was doing the install at night and wasn’t turning he ignition the whole way and starting the car.
Fantastic step by step video. THANK YOU!!!!!
Great solution, helpful details here. I’d do this if had a 997.2.
I have a 997.1 and the PCM is too dated for this unfortunately. Don’t really care for the look after aftermarket head units - hoping a Porsche Classic radio solution is released in the not too distant future.
Yeah, unfortunately won't work on yours. It will be harder for porsche to make a unit for the 997 and up given the level of integration with the rest of the vehicle. It is possible though.
Apparently there is a new retrofit version coming for the 997 from porsche
@@Jack-russell103 Hey Nick do you have a Link to this info? I have a 997.2 and am struggling to find a suitable solution
@@Jack-russell103 any update for the 997.1?
What’s the best place to buy this? I had previously purchased from Ali express but I feel these can be obtained cheaper if we find the direct source
You can buy it here. The Chinese sources are really hit in miss in my experience. You never know who you're dealing with and customer support is slim to none. ecarguides.com/product/porsche-pcm-3-0-wireless-apple-carplay-android-auto-mirrorlink-conversion-kit/
Great video. Very informative. I have one question: how to tell if a PCM 3.0 has a iPod/Aux connection? Thanks.
Research on the web and find that option 870 is for Universal multimedia interface.
Hello and thank you for the informative videos, since me too I have a 997.2 Carrera convertible; Since my oem microphone does not work for some issue with the Bluetooth module in the PCM unit, if I retrofit it with same kit,as you did, can I use the new microphone to make an actual call through Android Auto. Thanks in advance 😃
Yes, you totally can. Just connect only to the module and not the PCM so the PCM doesn't try to pick up your calls. Here's a link if you want to purchase it. 1 more in stock, but more will be available in about 1 week. ecarguides.com/product/porsche-pcm-3-0-wireless-apple-carplay-android-auto-mirrorlink-conversion-kit/
How do you know if your PCM 3.0 has XM ?
Check your audio source and see if you have an XM option
Does it come with a back up camera ?
Really good informative video ,could you give me more details of the kit you installed ,name and model number .I would like to install this in my 987 cayman.thanks
Sure, here you go. thecreatorstash.com/collections/car-fanatic/products/porsche-pcm-3-0-wireless-apple-carplay-android-auto-mirrorlink-conversion-kit-2009-2012-911-boxster-cayman-cayenne
@@CarFanatic That’s great. Thanks, Happy new year .
Great video, thank you! Do you know this Joy Audio unit differs from the 9XX Research CarPlay unit?
There are minor differences but the functionality is the same. The one you referenced though is like twice the price. If you're interested, you can buy this unit here ecarguides.com/product-category/apple-carplay-android-auto-conversion-kits/
hi, can you connect the unit to your OEM microphone? Or can you still use the PCM Bluetooth to make phone calls?
Hi Lee. You can still use the pcm for phone calls. The microphone for the pcm will not work for voice commands though which is why you need the separate microphone. Because the audio for the module is going through aux, the pcm Bluetooth should still switching automatically for the phone call assuming you are connected to both the pcm and Carplay module.
@@CarFanatic thanks for the clarification.
Is there any way to start android auto automatically with the car?
It's, it connects to Bluetooth automatically and comes on
Does this mod allow for adding a reverse camera?
Yes it does
How about 2008 Porsche Cayenne twin turbo?
I have the same car as you. Unfortunately this won't work on that car.
is it a CDR host system?
Do the navigation instructions end up in the instrument cluster?
Not for apple carplay or Android Auto. It only comes up for the stock navigation system that is over a decade old at this point.
great video and step by step guide!
Also any plans to do a video with reverse camera install?
Maybe if I have time
I could use this for my car.
What kind of car do you have?
Great video
Where did you finally install the mike ?
Good question. This sounds lazy but I ran the mic wire underneath the center arm rest console and just left the microphone between the drivers seat and the center arm rest console. It picks up audio well there.
@@CarFanatic Great, thank you for your answer. Just finished installing my Joyeauto and it works perfectly ! For the time being, I've clipped the mic to the air vent just on the righthand side of the steering wheel.
Cool video. Clear and concise instructions. And love the sock and sandal look.
This is a GREAT install guide. I am going to watch a few more times to feel comfortable. Did a retrofit unit install in my Boss 302 (Navidyne), but this DIDN'T require breaking open the oem unit and installing a board...THAT is pretty cringy for a six figure vehicle owner ('12 GTS Manual). The integrated back-up camera might be what pushes me to proceed. Added to my Boss 302 and REALLY miss not having a camera in my GTS. I think a winter project when car is slumbering.
I did this and somehow lost the sound on my unit.. No AM/FM sound.. CD and SAT sound did work, which was odd. the functionality of the carplay worked but no sound.. so I know that the joyeauto is working. Has anybody had this problem. I did plug the small jack into the aux on the console.. everything else wired in.. I did stuggle a bit to put the unit back together.. and not sure if I damaged something but there is no obvious crimped or stripped wire.. I want to warn anybody doing this.. to make sure when u are putting the case back together, that they are oriented 90 degrees, like an open book and then fold it down.. the top portion should fit on the tabs in the back of the bottom portion.. like a hinge.. dont simply oppose the 2 pieces and squeeze together... or u will end up w my result.. I eventually figured it out.. I will also mention that don't do this late at night.. I prob would not have made this mistake under normal conditions. Also.. I belive you need to put the #3 toggle switch in the "on" position for pcm3, or it wont project properly on the unit.
I got a new unit and redid the installation.. all went great.. but now hear very minor low volume engine noise between songs when carplay is on.. not during normal stereo operation.. I'm curious if anybody else had this problem? I thought about noise suppressor on the power line which is plugged into the fuse box.. vs. grounding the carplay unit to the actual stereo.. as this problem can occur w floating ground.
Apologies if this is a daft question. Curious - for $500 why not just purchase a new head unit and install that?
Great video. I have a 2010 997.2 4S with PCM 3.0. Would you know if I need factory navigation for this to work or only the Navi button on the PCM? Also, why did you choose the Joyeauto product over the 9xx or other similar products? Thanks
John, great questions. You don't actually need the navigation to work, but you will need to enable the Aux source to work. I've heard of people doing this using a PIWIS. Another person said they were able to enable it without one. If you shoot me an email at carandtruckfanatic@gmail.com, I can talk to you more to see if your headunit is compatible.
