the dealer 'expert' just told me that the '21's do NOT have wireless carplay - said Porsche could not get it to work properly

told me to plug in iphone, that does work..

That dealer has already failed the Taycanforum test for dealers. My 2021 model plays music through Apple Carplay nicely with no cable.

Thanks guys, got it to work !! dealer now says will never work perfectly !

question - how do switch back and forth between carplay and PCM ?

I'd be surprised if your dealer actually knows what wireless CarPlay is.

I am surprised he can tell his hands from his feet!

@babaloo,when you have your car play screen as per below, you should see an app that looks like a Porsche logo, click that and it returns back to PCM

or just click the "home" button in the upper right screen and you'll return to PCM home screen.

Yep, that as well! Not drove my car in weeks, forgot how it works!

Guys, i have a 2021 turbo s but my car doesn't work carplay wirelessly? How do you guys connect your phones wirelessly? Thanks for the help

LOL - "dealer says" - two funniest words in the English language.

Every region is different, so either you got a very early '21 build, or like wireless charging in the UK for '20 cars, it's something disabled in your region.

Like, I get stuff from Porsche saying I should take advantage of the WiFi hotspot in the car... LOL.

How did you end up making your wireless carplay work? I have a 2021 that I just picked up as well in the US. When I check my phone's CarPlay, it recognizes my car but my car doesn't show that anything is connected via bluetooth (second pic). Thoughts?
