6 reviews for Porsche Android Auto OEM Activation (No Hardware Installation Required)
When I checked with my Porsche dealership, they quoted me $3,000+ to activate CarPlay. Just curious why the big difference between your method of activation and theirs.

Q & A
What is the difference between these two products:
Porsche Android Auto OEM Activation
And
Porsche CarPlay + Android Auto OEM Activation
Doesn't the car already have Apple car play/CarPlay active?Simeon Iliev asked on June 22, 2022
Hi there,
There's no difference between the two items, you can order either one of them. You will activate both CarPlay and Android Auto with any of them. Not all cars came with CarPlay so we've created two duplicated items to capture people who are searching for different combinations.
Hope this helps!PorschePlay answered on June 22, 2022store manager
