Whole Screen CarPlay + Android Auto Bundle for Porsche PCM5

Whole Screen CarPlay + Android Auto Bundle for Porsche PCM5

SKU: DISPLAY-FULLSCRN-CARPLAY-AAUTO

NEW – the factory sidebar now stays on screen (PCM 6-style layout)

Whole Screen mode used to take over the entire display: the factory left menu disappeared, and to reach Climate, Devices or Settings you had to exit back to the main menu via the Porsche icon. Our latest update keeps the PCM 5's own sidebar on screen while CarPlay or Android Auto runs whole-screen — one tap to any factory screen, one tap back. It is the same layout PCM 6 ships with from the factory. CarPlay / Android Auto themselves are unchanged; this is purely the on-screen layout.

Every new Whole Screen order now includes it. Already bought Whole Screen from us earlier? The sidebar upgrade is US$99 — order the PCM5 Dynamic Menu Upgrade here. Read the full story of the sidebar update here. (Please note , $99 is not including the wireless connectivity support for Andriod auto ) , if you need to add wireless connectivity support for Andriod auto , you need to look at another product in product page )

PCM5 CarPlay and Android Auto development since 2020

Innovative Soft has developed Porsche PCM5 display and connectivity solutions since 2020. For eligible configurations, the programme can cover whole-screen CarPlay and Android Auto, remote support for region-restricted wireless CarPlay, and native wireless Android Auto without a permanently connected dongle.

The latest dynamic interface keeps the factory sidebar available in a PCM6-style layout on supported PCM5 configurations. These are separate outcomes: confirm the PCM generation, firmware, original market, existing feature state and requested result before ordering.

Recognise any of these?

You plug in your phone and CarPlay only takes up a small box in the corner of your PCM screen — the rest is just wasted space.

Your dealer quoted you over $1,000 to add CarPlay, and that's before labour.

You've found "activation" and you're not sure if they're legitimate or if they'll void your warranty.

Android Auto works, but it's stuck in a tiny window and you can't read the navigation without squinting.

You bought your Cayenne, Macan, or Panamera used and the previous owner never paid for the smartphone integration option.

You've seen the full-screen setup in a newer Porsche and can't understand why yours doesn't do the same thing.

  • How It Works & Installation Guide

    📄 Installation Guide — full step-by-step (open on phone or computer):

    https://carsoft.co.nz/dl/guide/activation.html

    It's the same guide we email you after purchase.

    How it works
    Delivered online straight to your car — no parts shipped, no dealer visit. Activated remotely over the internet after a quick one-time setup.

    1. One-time setup (~3–5 min)
    We email a small setup file + a redeem code. Copy the file to the root of an SD/USB stick (FAT32), start the car and insert it — a Software Update screen runs automatically and installs a small helper; remove the card at Update successful. No menus or coding on your side.

    2. Redeem your code
    Open our activation page, enter your redeem code and your car's VIN, press Activate (one car per code).

    3. Drive with internet
    Mobile data or a hotspot — the car checks in, downloads and installs by itself, restarts once. Done.

    Good to know
    Locked to your VIN, fully reversible, no firmware reflash. After this one-time setup, any future feature you buy needs only the redeem step.

    What you'll need
    Redeem code, 17-character VIN, an SD/USB (FAT32), and internet in the car. Questions: info@innovativesoft.co.nz
