- In this video I share my experience installing yet another 12.3" Android Radio unit in my 2015 Porsche Macan S. In prior videos, I installed a Plejbona unit, but decided to try this new DaiNav unit as it looked more OEM. Join me as I go through the installation process of this new unit, and subscribe to the channel.
You can get a similar unit (not exactly the same) at: acarmultimedia.com and you will get a $30 using code MACAN123
ACARDash have very good support, unlike AliExpress companies. You can deal directly with them.

I appreciate you showing the details of these and giving comparisons between the two units you've installed. I just happened to see that another aftermarket system seems to have hit the market since you posted this so I'm wondering if you've seen the new dual screen options. I saw some on eBay and AliExpress but can't find much info yet. We need somebody like you to give it a try and let us know how they compare because the Macan trim layout seems to lend itself well to the dual screen layout.
@@BobKauffman Yes, I have been in conversations with ACAR for a number of months since they started development of these units (acarmultimedia.com/product/acardash-android-touch-screen-interactive-screen-for-macan-2014-2017-pcm3-1-pcm4-0-upgrade-t0-2024/ ).
I hinted at the possibility of them sending a unit for me to test, but they are doing all the tests there in their facility. I asked them for detailed photos of rear panel and trims, but haven’t received those… they started with good communication but now is far and in between…
Congratulations on your installation and thanks for your patience and dedication to the community. Very detailed with tidbits of critical information!
Question: If original interior trim is carbon fiber around AC side vents, do those match in size and can they be repurposed on new trim pieces?
Cheers!
Thanks for your kind words and thanks for your support! Unfortunately no. Different dimension. And unfortunately these vendors don’t have good alternatives other than for piano black. An alternative is trying to find a vinyl wrap that is a close match to OEM CF. In my case, I had piano black, but I had wrapped my trims long ago on black brushed aluminum vinyl, so it was easy to wrap these parts and make them match.
I saw a Porsche forum and someone had the same issue with a non-functional touchscreen. At his suggestion, I unplugged the connection to the car, pugged the screen into the interface box, then plugged back into the Porsche connection. That worked and I have a touchscreen now.
Thanks for letting us know.
Thank you for sharing! This content worth pure gold
The air vent adapter came with the screen?
Thank you. Appreciate your kind words!
Yes. If you watch the video I go through all the content of the kit.
Great job on your installation I just got the same one 2016 Learning a lot from your channel I appreciate .👍👍👍 do you have a new subscriber thank you again..
Thanks! That really means a lot! I do this for the love of it all. So, always grateful when receive comments like yours!
Omg! Awesome.. my next project… thank you for your outstanding video and work. New fan 👍 subscriber.. I will come back to you with questions for sure.. Thank you so much..
Thanks for your kind words, and if you haven’t done so, subscribe!
Good work 🎉
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Soo tempting.
Is very good! And it looks great!
You are a legend. Which unit would you recommend I buy for my 2016 Porsche panamera? Should I also ask the vendor to make sure the one I get has fiber optical output? Thanks in advance! Can't wait to get this installed
I believe this is the equivalent for Panamera: www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805615774936.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.3.4bfc3c47SQX9v8&algo_pvid=8adf64c2-b8a6-4511-9c90-3faf5f2281ac&algo_exp_id=8adf64c2-b8a6-4511-9c90-3faf5f2281ac-1&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%211596.77%21990.0%21%21%211596.77%21%21%40210323f716925804874932033e30db%2112000034401624176%21sea%21US%214271462079%21A&curPageLogUid=VPpJMroREo0c
You can ask the vendor if the unit includes Toslink Optical fiber output, but this is only going to work if he supplies a toslink to MOST25 converter box.
Nice video, you did an excellent job. Overall, the 2nd model is better than the previous one? I am considering buying one.
The second model is much better, hands down. You can get a 12.3" unit at www.acarmultimedia.com and use discount code MACAN123.
Thanks for watching and subscribe to the channel!
Hopefully you can help with my sound quality and connectivity concerns. 1. I purchased the same unit with the blue box which included direct optical and wire connections without rca. However when playing podcasts the voices sound distorted with a faint high-pitched undertone. You by chance experience this as well? 2. Any time a call comes through I'm unable to hear the podcasts or music which had been playing while the call came in. I have to disconnect from the system in order to stream the podcast through the car speakers. Thanks
Great job! It looks nice and OEM. How has it held up after a year of use? Have you installed any new units in the Macan since this one?
@@tomietran2930 No issues so far. And, no, I have not installed any other unit after this one. I had been able to perform some updates though, which now allows me to use steering wheel button functionality to control the unit, like using diamond button to skip songs. I was also able to customize it with Porsche logo and boot animation (this is what I’m using now: BootAnimation
ruclips.net/video/8zvwpCw0lYo/видео.html)… making it look even more OEM.
So far it has been great.
Thanks for the kind words.
I would like to have seen it in action going through the menus and features.
In the video linked below, I do just that!
DaiNav {Class} 12.3'" Android Head Unit - User Interface and Options Review...
ruclips.net/video/KlxeGsowniE/видео.html
The part where you were disconnecting the stock air vents, there’s no audio… were you walking us through the steps? Where are the clips or whatever that hold the stock air vents in place?
There are 6 clips that hold the vents in place. Two on top (towards the side) and two on either side of the duct. Then, the ducts will start to swivel from the bottom. I kept swiveling up and down until it came out.
Thank you for the video, I’m leaning towards a similar modification for my RHD 2015 Macan, a couple of questions if I may.
As this video is a few months old has this unit been replaced with anything better?
If not are you still happy with it?
It looks to me that the hardest part of the install is
Removing the original trim without breaking it
Removing the original ductwork behind the unit
Finally installing the whole lot back into place and getting the ductwork installed
I know if I was doing this job and had my mic on there would have been plenty of editing afterwards.
Great job once again
There are other similar models out there, but same functionality for the most part. I’m very happy with the unit. You are correct on installation difficulties.
Hi,
Great work!
Does your instrument cluster on the dash - get information from stereo?
like map directions etc? or track you're playing is shown on the dial next to speed?
Thanks.
Thanks so much for your kid words…
No. Instrument cluster comm is lost. If you use that, maybe you should think about other options. I didn’t use it, and I don’t really miss it. The Fakra cable that goes into your instrument cluster is remains disconnected with this unit.
I bought one of these with buttons (not installed yet). Now, I want to exchange to this updated version for better ventilation. I think you were certain that the update with no buttons was a better unit. A couple of questions: 1 - it seems the factory vents are left uncovered behind the radio. Did you cover them or fill them with foam? 2 - to save space, why not cut off the big unconnected audio plugs? 3 - There is a connector with an antenna. Did you use that or connect the Porsche antenna?
No need to fill with foam as air is completely redirected to new vents. You need to detach OEM ducts from main supply duct and secure them with a tie wrap. Then install the new ductwork in the supply duct.
I didn’t want to cut any wires as it is my intention to take everything back to OEM stock if I ever sell the car or trade it. For the antenna, you need to use the wire adapter, from normal antenna connector to fakra. This is provided in the kit.
@@porscheDIY Thanks. But the wires I might cut are on the back of the new radio (not part of the Porsche wiring). It would make it much easier to stuff them behind the screen. If I ever sell my car, the poor new owner will just have to put up with the impressive upgrade :)
@@markstephenson6952 I see. I don’t see any issues cutting non-usable wires provided with the unit.
Hello,so was the second unit better ? It certainly looks more OEM !!!
Yes, it looks more OEM. Audio quality is digital quality with second converter box. They came up with an upgraded unit now that has Toslink optical output direct from unit.
@@porscheDIYI really like this unit in the video as it looks much cleaner behind the screen, do you have a link for the upgraded unit with toslink?
@@CQ84GYT Is the same link in the description of the video. You just need to IM the vendor through AliExpress to make sure the one you buy has fiber optical output.
@@porscheDIY Are you saying that you no longer need the upgrade to the DNL Teclink Optical Fiber Decoder Box on Amazon?
@@markstephenson6952 If you are keeping the Bose amplifier, you still need the box as you need to convert signal to MOST. If you have an aftermarket amplifier that accepts SPDIF input, then you can connect directly.
Perfect job and perfect tuto
Thanks for your kind words. Glad you found it useful.
Great DIY video!
Is Bermerster using the same Optical Fiber Box as Bose?
I have to think so. MOST25 is a universal communication protocol over fiber optic. As a matter of fact, the MOST box I got from Amazon that produced very good quality was spec’d for Mercedes Benz, but it is a MOST25 box and works in the Macan. Both Bose and Burmester use MOST25 comm protocol.
Just make sure you ask vendor.
Mate this looks great. Hey where did you find the brush black aluminum vinyl? I need to match the exact same trim in my wifes macan.

Thank you for sharing this! Which unit would you recommend I buy for my 2011 Porsche Cayenne? And what should I take into consideration when buying it? Specially the sound quality? As I have Bose system. Thank you again
I’m not sure about Cayenne, but you could check the following one: Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $1,321.17 | 12.3" QLED Car Radio For Porsche Cayenne 2010-2017 CarPlay Android 14 GPS Navigation 4G WiFi Stereo Car Multimedia Video Player

This one is an FYT 7862 unit, like mine.
You would need to buy the fiber decoder separately. Like the Amazon one I recommend. This is good because they would normally provide one that is very bad, so you don’t have to pay for that.
@@porscheDIY Thanks a lot for your help, I have purchased and installed the head unit and the fiber optic decoder you recommended, but now I have an issue with the sound the fader is not working! All speakers work together without any surrounding sound and you feel all sound coming from the front speakers, but when I try to move the sound to the back speakers no sound works only the subwoofer!
Is this normal with aftermarket head units or there something I need to do to enable the fader? I spoke to the seller on AliExpress and they told me the issue is front the fiber optic decoder!
I appreciate if you could help out with this.
@@AbdullahAlDokhiiL that’s normal with these aftermarket units.
Hello Santrix! If I am not mistaking you swapped the knobs between the previous unit and that one. Was it easy to remove the knobs? Do you just pull it? Would it be possible to use the original ones from PCM? Great DIY as always.
No, I didn’t swap the knobs. I got new knobs from eBay for PCM 5 or 6, modified them a bit and then install them in the unit.
This unit looks like it has better fit and finish.
Correct. A couple of us had been in contact with vendor and it seems there is an improved unit with TOS optical and digital coaxial output.
Great install! thanks for the video. Is there a big difference with performance with the 64gb and 128gb? Which one did you recommend?
I believe this is only storage space difference. No difference in performance. Either should be fine. Although I only tested the 128gb version. Maybe someone that tested the 64gb version would care to comment here…. Thanks for your comment, it means a lot.
@@porscheDIY I asked the supplier and they mentioned the 64gb and 128gb is just difference in storage. Not sure what I would store on there as I would be streaming mostly music.
Well - following your video it only took me about 45 minutes to get everything connected. WOW. I have plugged the screen in and started my car. The screen lights up. I have AM radio with very good reception, the GPS is working and the native Nav shows where I am, and I can control volume from my steering wheel. So - I think is it connected properly. BUT - my touchscreen does not work so I can't do anything. Is there a switch to activate that or should that be automatically enabled (I'm assuming yes).
Thanks. I believe you solved your issue, right?
@@porscheDIY Somebody else wrote that he plugged the cable into the base unit and the screen and THEN started the car (added power). That worked.
I just installed a new screen in my Porsche Macan. I bought and installed the MOPC-1 box that you recommend. But, I only have two front speakers that I can hear (effectively). All of them are active. If I try to "zone" to bias the sound toward the back of the car, when I pass the halfway point (behind my seat), the sound goes dead completely. Have you run across this issue before?
Thanks for watching! So, only two speakers are working? This unit produces stereo audio. This means that stereo audio will go to your speakers (L/R) only. All speakers (including rear) will produce that same L/R sound. Fading is not possible, hence you need to keep the fader in the center or to the front. Audio should come out at same output through all speakers front and rear. This is a disadvantage for these units when compared with PCM3.1 or 4.0.
Thanks for your support and subscribe to the channel!
@@porscheDIY I have a vertical 10.4" unit from about 4 years ago. The back has a big, gold-colored box (maybe 5" tall and 6" deep) and the MOST is built into the unit. When you turn on the "Surround Sound" feature - the sound comes alive for the entire car and you can bias to the right rear, left rear, etc.
So - they had the ability to do that several years ago and have stopped. I can't imagine how that helps their sales.
@@markstephenson6952 I have to agree with your statement. I guess this is a way for them to make these units more generic so that they can fit more cars (at least the guts of the unit). This is something we have been asking for.
i love this, been looking for this for ages. does the vents in the center loose function ?
The vents are re-routed. They are functional.
Hello, congratulation on your installation. Can i ask you how to connect the radio to original back camera? Thank you
There is a RCA connector that comes out of the quad connector harness adapter, that then you connect to the unit through another RCA connector harness that then connects to the rear of the unit.
Great job on your installation... I do have one question and I'm not sure if it has been ask before... where did you find the wrap and what it the name of the color/manufacture of the it? Thanks

Hello
Very nice video
Is possible help me ??
I installing 12.3 but sound is not very high and nice
Have solutions for me ..
This is all due to the MOST converter box. It is not good. Please refer to the description on my video. I recommend other converter boxes that are much better.
Hello. Thank you for all your videos. I have just bought my 2015 Macan. I ordered a unit from Aliexpress after watching the video. I made sure the vent setup was the same as in this video. The vendor however changed it after shipping. I live in Florida so AC is very important. Is the air flow significantly different with new vent setup ? Should i return the unit and buy the one with this vent setup? Thank you in advance.
Can you post a link with the unit photo?
I have posted the link but don't know how to post pictures here
@porscheDIY I should perhaps clarify my question. You had both units installed one with restricted vents and one with less restricted vents. Was the airflow very different between the two, or was it similar?
@@aqeelrana6678 very different. The air flow now is much better and less restricted. The prior unit is not good. If they are sending you that type of unit, I would cancel order and make sure you are buying the same type I have.
@porscheDIY Thank you for your time and reply. I have found the one you use the second time around. I will order it. Just for information, people should always ask for a product picture first before ordering anything on Aliexpress. Lesson learnt.
I have made the same mod to my Macan 2015 but there is like an engine like sound coming out from the speakers even when the music is all the way down when connecting Bluetooth. I’ve kept the original amplifier. Any solution to this ?
Do you have Bose or base system? If you connect direct using RCA cables and connections, there is a possibility that you are introducing ground interference. This is very difficult to address… I would recommend to do a search on how to resolve ground interference in audio systems.
If your system is Bose, you may still be introducing ground interference if a connection is not well made or if there is contact of RCA metal parts with other metal parts… I would tape over all audio connections with electrical tape.

Just confirm with DaiNav that it will fit your Panamera. You will need to tell them if you have a Base system or Bose or Burmester.
On SiriusXM, unfortunately this unit doesn’t support that natively. The alternative is to download the app in CarPlay or Android Auto, and use it from within that environment.
@Santirx - This has helped me a ton with my install. Question for you: I saw where you did a work-around with the Mr12Volt radio to allow the factory microphone to work. What did you do with this headunit?
Nothing. This unit has its own microphone, which acts as the factory mic. You’ll see a small opening on the front panel, that’s the mic.
Thanks for sharing your experience! And for your support!
The original AC vents on the Porsche had wires that connected to a sensor in each vent. Did you re-use those from the original vents? I don't see any way to connect them. You can see the detached wire on the left side @ 14:03 and the wire on the right vent @ 15:04.
They are not used. These wires provide power to LED components of the vents… so they light up a bit at night. But this unit doesn’t have any LED lights on the vents.
Hey Santirx, hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions. I am digging this new unit a lot, but the fact that it does not have native MOST25 output is kind of a dealbreaker at the moment for me.
I have seen that you mention that they released a version with TOSLINK. My question for you is: would you know how to convert the digital TOSLINK signal to MOST25? I have tried to find adaptors, but they all seem to convert the signal in the opposite direction (i.e Coax/TOSLINK to MOST25). The only alternative that I can imagine is ditching the original amp and use an aftermarket one that supports digital input... but if I could avoid that, all the better.
Also, how is the analog-to-digital signal quality of this particular unit in your opinion? Perhaps I am needlessly obsessing with keeping a full digital path to the amplifier, if the DAC used by the unit is half decent.
Looking forward to hearing from you, and many thanks in advance!
I was as obsessed as you, believe me. The only box I was able to find that converts Toslink to MOST25 comes from Plejbona. When I got the Plejbona unit, I made sure that the converter box was Toslink to MOST25. Even though the image in Amazon appears to be exactly the same as others, they will send you the Toslink to MOST25 if you talk to them. Let me see if I can post a photo somewhere…. But the link is: Fiber Optic Box for Benz BMW Porsche Audi Volvo Android Radio Car Video Player GPS Navigation a.co/d/1RWMan5
I have to say however that the other analog to MOST25 box I got from Amazon did probably a better job than the PLEJBONA unit box. Link: DNL Teclink Optical Fiber Decoder... www.amazon.com/dp/B094Y8J6DT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
There are some cheap converters (like the one supplied with this unit) that are not going to work well. I already told this to the vendor.
But there are other analog to digital converters that really do a good job.
Can you tell me what kind of cable you got to connect the dual display to your car GPS ? I'd like to get the same cable can't find it.

Hi Santrix . I put the same unit from china all perfect the only problem is that i don’t see the rear camera i see only the lines but no picture … do you know why?
Most likely a setting. Go to passcode protected menu using 3368 and select the appropriate camera, either 360 or non-360. See this other video: ruclips.net/video/KlxeGsowniE/видео.htmlsi=FlSIyKbRMDLOanUe
Good job
Thanks! And thanks for the support!
Hi Santtirx.. i follow your head unit installs for advice ... thanks... but after reading all the negative reviews posted here about DAINAV which unit would you recommend now?
These type of units in AliExpress are all notorious for suboptimal after sales support. Therefore I can’t really recommend any. If you want it, you just have to take the plunge with whatever company sells it. Just make sure they send you actual photos of the unit they will be sending you so that you are sure is the right one you want.
Hello , super vidéo ! Please tell me where do you install the New microphone ?
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot! I didn’t use an external microphone, as this unit has an integrated microphone in the control panel.
@@porscheDIY I buy the same , but i don't have microphone , and when they are one , it's always bad bad quality...
Hey there, did you end up getting the car function to work?
No. I did an interface update, I have a video on that which I haven’t edited/published yet, but changed some of the buttons. It got rid of the car button and changed one of the lower buttons to CarPlay. Will publish that video at some point. Thanks for watching and for your support. I hope you are subscribed to the channel.
Btw it’s for right hand drive car
As stated, consult with vendor to see if there is a way to switch to right hand drive. I think there is a way.
Does this unit support XM radio play WITHOUT syncing to your phone. i.e., the same way the factor unit had AM/FM/XM options?
@@butterfly030712 unfortunately no. You would need the app, through your phone, but it won’t support XM natively.

@@porscheDIY thanks for your quick reply, lastly do you know if its possible to upgrade the oem cameras to a higher resolution ones for better clarity. Thanks again for all you do.
@@user-xr6fr6di8t I have a separate video on that, but just for rear. There is only so much you can do with OEM cameras, and improvement in resolution is only marginal. You could go aftermarket, and this unit will support it, but that will require routing new wires.
Did you consider adding a box that allows the original head unit to work with all CarPlay functions on the same screen? or did you want a 12.3" scren? Thanks
Please watch other videos in the subject on my channel. Yes, I did. I started with Joye, moved to Isudar, then Mr12Volt (all adding CarPlay capability to the PCM3.1). Then moved to one 12.3 unit and ended up with another 12.3 unit which is the one in the video. I have done extensive research on this. Subscribe to the channel and watch other videos…

Hi,
I have a few questions.
1. Like speakerphone sound quality
2. Is the FM radio working properly?
3. Is there a problem with the traffic sign camera?
I am asking because I myself have option 1 (the older one) and I have problems with it as I wrote above
I’m not sure I completely understand your questions but I’ll attempt to answer what I understand.
(1) assuming this is the phone calls and the quality of calls/voice. For me, this was the same for both units. But, call quality is always good. It was good for me before with prior unit, and is good now.
(2) Yes, working fine. Good antenna connection is important.
(3) I don’t have a traffic sign camera in my Macan so I can’t comment on that.
Hope this helps.
How does the air conditioner blow air and is it good?
@@oxfordsaudia2183 If you go to about minute 15:00 of the video, you will see that I’m installing a modified duct to the car ducting system. Prior to that I remove the original duct. That new duct re-routes the air to the lower part of the unit. It is fairly good.
I have a question, would that screen work for a 2018 Macan S? If so where can I purchase.
Thank you great video
Thanks for your kind words. This is a good question. I would think it will work with the right MOST converter. Your Macan has the upgraded MOST150 fiber system, while mine is MOST25. I’m assuming that they would provide the right converter box for you. You need to contact vendor for this.
@@porscheDIY thank you, are you located in California?
@@SmallOne91 Nope… New England.
@@porscheDIY I am going to watch your video a few times I am going to order the same system for my 2018 Macan S
@@SmallOne91 Let us know how it goes!
why does everything work, but I get no audio on the one my friend installed?
@@maxmusterman-yr5mq can you provide more information? Do you have one unit and you do get audio from that unit in your car, but can’t get audio in a unit that your friend installed? Are they both PCM3.1 with MOST25? Is the MOST converter box wired appropriately?
@@porscheDIY thanks for the response but he already solved it, he didn't connect the wires 🤦♂️🤣
@@maxmusterman-yr5mq haha… thanks for letting us know.
Hello can you tell me if you can add a front camera on this unit?
I don’t think you can add a front camera in combination with the OEM rear view camera. I think you have to go full aftermarket and install both rear and front, then you can do it. But best to contact the unit’s manufacturer. Thanks for watching!
Can someone please explain me why my aftermarket radio has no sound?
We need a bit more information. Assuming you have this same unit and that you are replacing PCM3.1 with Bose? If so, you need to check that you have connected the right RCA connectors to the MOST converter box. And making sure that the MOST converter box is connected to power. And more obvious, that the MOST fiber is connected to the box. Then, go to the equalizer and ensure that the fader and L/R balance is set to middle.
@@porscheDIY excuse me. I have a 2016 porsche Macan GTS with Bose sound system with pcm 4.0 radio. When I connect everything also with most150 converter I have no sound. Can you maybe explain why?
I've installed everything into my Macan following this guide, but I'm running into the problem for connecting the rear camera. When I put the car into reverse, the system brings up the rear camera pov, but it's just a black screen. Do you have any idea what this could be?
Do you have surround view or just rear view? It could be a setting issue. If you have 360 camera and set for only single camera, or viceversa.
Sorry for the late reply. I've taken this radio out multiple times and have checked the cables and am 90% sure everything g is correct. I read your reply really late and think I'm probably in 360 view and can't figure out how to change it to single. Do you know where this is in the settings?
Hello ! I buy the same as you , but i lost my rear speakers … I have sound only at front !
Do you have a solution Please ?
Do you have Bose? If so, how did you connect the unit to audio? Did you use the MOST box converter?
@@porscheDIY yes I have bose , and i have similar box like your blue one , mine is black
@@marcusmytnik6255 sorry, one more question, what year is your Macan? Did you have PCM4.0 or PCM3.1?
@@porscheDIY I can send you a picture but i don’t know how 😄👍🏽
@@porscheDIY pcm 3.1 , Macan 2014
Thank you

how do you connected orinigal reverse camera? i cant't find the right lvds connector
The connection is via the provided Quad-Connector. There is an RCA connector properly identified that comes from the supplied quad connector and it connects to another RCA connector that goes into the unit through one of the small connections in the rear of the unit. I explain that in the video.
@@porscheDIY i've done, but i can see only black screen
@@simonetodaro6826 Ensure that when you put your car in reverse, that the emergency brake is off. The camera wont turn on unless you release the e brake. If you are already doing that and you still don’t see an image, you need to go to settings menu and select the menu that will require passcode. Passcode is 3368. In there, you will see configuration for the camera. Make sure you select the right one. If you don’t have 360 mode, it is probably set for 360 and you need to change it. Please watch my review video for the access and where is this setting located. And subscribe to the channel if you have not done so…. Thanks for watching and good luck.
@@porscheDIY nothingto do. e-brake off, camera set to original camera, 360 off, steering and reverse signal set to can-bus, can-bus set to luzengh cayenne 15-18 (the only one that make functional steering wheel volume control), camera controlled with pcm 3.1 and it's fully working, but with android system i can see only a black screen. thank you for your support anyway
@@simonetodaro6826 did you reboot the unit? Slide your finger from the top of the screen down, a menu will appear that will give you the option to reboot. If that doesn’t work, then, recheck connection.
Anything for 2013 panamera ?
I think they have a solution for the Panamera. You can check with the vendor in AliExpress.
Would I lose functional air vents with that? It's not that they're necessary, but I do wonder. Thanks. Regards from Malta!
Thanks for watching! To your question, not at all. If you watch the video, you’ll see that the air vents are re-routed to the bottom of the unit. With this unit you can still open and close the vents. And the ducts are large enough to allow more air than other similar units.
I may have asked the n another video but functionality do you lose by adding this head unit (ie TPM, Sirius XM, etc). Great videos and thank you for sharing for sharing.
Hello, I was wondering if there’s a way you or someone els would be capable of installing all of this for me , because I am scared I will mess up my car. And can I get you to do this for me if that is possible?
I would recommend you contact a professional installer in your area. I can help with any questions.
@@porscheDIYhow do I find an installer in my area?
Hi care to share the link?
Thank you 😊
All relevant links are in the description of the video…. I think you can change this unit to right hand drive. Check with vendor.
So if you had to narrow down your choice to one, which one would you choose and why?
Now you are entering into my next video’s territory…😊. Stay tuned! Video coming out soon.
@@porscheDIYplease include a video of the unit’s start up after ignition is turned on. I would like to see the boot process. Does the unit have the ability to have a Porsche boot/splash screen? Thank you for the video and thank you for contacting the vendor about having that sticker removed
@@ianthomasdooley859 Yes, I’ll show all that in my next video. I already changed boot up logo to Porsche logo.
@@porscheDIY and does this unit dim with the OEM dim knob? Awesome! And thanks!
@@porscheDIYcan’t wait 😂
L'éolienne s'il vous plaît pour commander
I’m not sure what you asked and the translator is not doing a good job. But if you are asking where I bought this, I got it in AliExpress. Unfortunately DaiNav doesn’t exist anymore but there are other sellers there selling these.
Just make sure you ask for photos of the actual unit they will be shipping to you, so that you can confirm is the same one you think you are buying. Some of these AliExpress sellers are notorious for bait and switch.
Kann mir jemand helfen wo ihn Deutschland so was machen kann ???
I’m not sure, hopefully someone in the community that knows will be able to tell you. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Want to do mine please lol
Do it! 😊
Hello Santrix. If I am not mistaking you swapped the knobs between the previous unit and that one. Was it easy to remove the knobs? Do you just pull them? Would it be possible to use the original ones from PCM? Great DIY as always!
I believe I answer your first question earlier, but I got new knobs from eBay that I have to modify slightly by drilling carefully to open up the stem, and then install them in the unit. The unit knobs come out very easily, you pull them. And you would not be able to use original ones without modifying them, so I recommend buying a set and modifying them rather than using existing.
