[h1]Apple Car Play/Andriod Auto[/h1]Hello
I'm considering purchasing a pre-owned 718 Boxster S. My query regards Apple Car Play/Andriod Auto.
My limited research seems to suggest that it became available on the 718 for MY 2017.
I wonder if members would be able to help me with the following questions.

1 Am I right in saying that Porsche introduced the feature for MY 2017 718's?

2 When introduced was it a Standard Feature i.e., not an Optional Extra? If you were to order a new 718 today it is a Standard Feature.

3 Can the feature be retro fitted at a Porsche Dealer and/or Specialist?

4 If it can be retro fitted has anyone have experience of the costs from a dealer or specialist?

5 Are there any other implications I should take into account.

I'm presently looking at a low mileage MY 2016 718 Boxster S. It looks likely that this car only has Bluetooth and not Apple Car Play/Andriod Auto.

Many thanks.
Regards Phil Ward
 
Hi John

Thanks for your reply. I don't mind connecting it with a lead. That's what I do with my P.C.C.M. unit on my 996.

I'm going to check with the dealer. Their advert says it's included. However, I thought it wasn't available on 2016 MY cars. I've checked on all the 2016 cars on Porsches Approved Used list and none of them say Apple Car Play/Andriod Auto is fitted.

Thanks again.

Regards Phil

 
I have a 2017 718 Cayman (registered June 2017).

In order to use Apple CarPlay I had to spec the car with Connect Plus, at the time it was an £801 option.
