I only found one way of doing this.
You need to go to Calendar and press Smartphone. Will most likely come with a request to start the Connect app, and show a QR code. It asks you to scan the code, but I only could get anywhere by scanning that with the phones camera? It then links the phone to the car via cars WiFi and synchronises. Not the fastest.

Trouble I had then was that the phone no longer is connected to the internet. If I try that I lose the calendar again.

I have tried a few times, but it does not work for me.

Anybody else succeeded so that you can put in the destination in the calendar directly to the Navigator?

Sorry to say but I think this is another flaw in the Connect app. The whole system seems so outdated and slow.

Great!

I do not think we should even try to compare with Tesla. I mean you are comparing a sports car designed as a drivers car, to an iPad on wheels? ;);)

On my Tesla the iPhone calendar loads as long as I have only events from one calendar and don’t mind reopening the Tesla app manually upon entering the car every third time.

Tesla is awesome, but free of bugs it has never been.

What's a calendar for when driving? If it's not in CarPlay, I'm not so sure it's needed when driving anyway... :p

Another question...how can i establish setting like Porsche sound and retro and have settins remain? Did the set 1 set 2 etc but when i shut down the settings are lost. Any ideas?
Calendar events sometimes have locations. It’s nice to be able to tap on them to program the nav computer.

yes indeed.
The only way I have been able to have the electronic sound remain is to program it into the individual settings. The control for that is on the steering wheel.

Thanks very much but could you give me a bit more help on where the control is? Will it work for the retro also?
