Remove the display by unscrewing the four screws at the top and bottom. Press
the clips on the side of the screen and gently pull the screen off. Disconnect
the connection strips by pulling the strip holders slightly forward with your
nails, being careful not to break off a lug from the clip. The display is now
detached from the radio unit.
Step 5: Opening up the Radio
Remove the three screws on the back of the radio and slide the lower part back
until it comes off. Disconnect the connecting strip.
Step 6: Assembling the PCB
Mount the existing strips and the two antennas on the new circuit board. Slide
the new strips through the slot where the original strips were. Screw on the
new (additional) circuit board.
Step 7: Disconnecting the Video Cable
Remove the bracket next to the vent to make room for the passageof the two
cables that are clicked onto the circuit board. Position the two antennas as
well.
Step 8: Reassembling the Radio

opening.
Step 9: Connecting the Interface Cable to the Radio
Remove the integrated plug with the two optical cables (usuallygreen or
orange). To do this, pull out the latch with a pointed object so that the plug
can be pulled out. Transfer this plug to the interface power strip (press in),
then plug this power strip into the radio. Then connect the other power strip

Installation instructions
Installation instructions for Carplay interface Porsche
Porsche Macan
The interface is connected via a connection cable with socket block. It is estimated that it takes about 60 minutes of work to connect the interface.
Step 1, Remove the side panels (unclip)
Warning: Be careful when pulling off the panels. If the hook comes loose, it can cause a scratch! Proceed with caution.
Peel off the trims of the air vents, including the plastic frame, using a hook. See the positions of the clips in the images below.

Remove the three screws on the back of the radio and slide the lower part back
until it comes off .
Disconnect the connecting strip.
Step 6. Assemble the PCB (Screws)
Mount the existing strips and the two antennas on the new circuit board. This
can only be done in 1 way. Slide the new strips through the slot where the
original strips were.
Screw on the new (additional) circuit board.
Step 7. Disconnect the video cable (plugs)
Remove the bracket next to the vent to make room for the passage of the two cables that are clicked onto the circuit board. Position the two antennas as well.
Step 7. Reassemble the radio (screws)

that position. If necessary, use a USB extension cable.
Step 11. Test the system (operate)
Connect the interface and test the system for graphics, sound, radio and
interface switching, and reverse shifting. The sound goes through AUX. Switch
between the original system and the Carplay system via the INFO button.
Step 12. Position the antennas (slice)
Route the antennas to one of the vents. Tape the antennas somewhere near the
