Yeah, did a quick google and it's doable with some coding+the control units. Not sure if you've looked into that now you're off plan. There's quite a lot (incl maps in the dynamic screen with android/apple) that can be coded in. Of course, just be sure whoever you use for this sort of stuff knows 100% what they're doing, bricking a module will *NOT* be a fun experience...

Thanks.
The temptation for an Android auto unit (or hack to get the OEM screen to show Android auto) is there.
For now, I decided to keep the cars electronics virginal. The Steelmate system is wireless and can be removed easily.

Not 100% sure which version you have of PCM - but check my thread, carlinkit is literally a plug box, no coding or anything like that - may work with your version?

I went with that pretty much because I couldn't risk coding and bricking a car under plan, would be the most dumbfuck thing on earth to brick a module because "I want maps on my pretty side screen"

I have PCM 3.1.
I think you have PCM 4.0.
With 3.1, it needs some surgery to get android auto/carplay to work.
May consider in future.

Yeah, 718 uses PCM4, weird, because 981 GT4 uses the same, but I assume the switch came with 991.2, not 991.1.

Pity that you'd have to hack in there a bit to get it sorted, but I suppose bluetooth music and a phone mount has you 70% of the way anyway.
