Is this the W901 pro version? There is a really big differens with the pro version. The pro version has double bluetooth connections so you can connect the audio from the unit to the car stereo with bluetooth that makes the sound way better than connecting with the FM-transmitter. But if you don't have bluetooth in the car the non-pro works fine with the FM-transmitter.
Yes actually it is the Pro version. Thanks for the post!
@@JAYREAD Its no pro .Pro verion has a in fm trans two options (fm trans and bt trans)
@@szami81how is it I’m thinking of getting it myself
I always love having options. Most of my cars are older.
A battery option would be a great addition to this unit.
Picked up the 7" after this video. Just bought an S4 but have to fly to get it and drive 2000 Km home so this will be better than the cheap AM/FM BT adapter I bought. Thanks Jay
I hope you like it as much as I do! Happy I helped you!
I’ve become very fond of CarPlay. Thanks for sharing this option for older cars, Jay!!!
My pleasure!
I have the Porsche PCCM in my 928, and while the screen may be smaller, it does fit nicely in place of the old radio. The screen is actually the same size as the original iPhone, and I lived with that for a couple of years. I also get satellite radio with the PCCM (it was an add-on option). I've never had any luck with stuff that sticks on the windshield in any car; it always seems to come loose. (Most other people don't have a problem so it's obviously me.) I also just can't stand having the wires hanging down for power. However, this is a nice solution, espcially since if you wanted you could probably swap it into other cars, and having wireless CarPlay built in is a huge plus (the PCCM is wired).
Agree Porsche OEM upgrade is very good even if it is pricy
Yep, I was just about to comment about how the PCCM regular and Plus models appeared to me (through an image search) to have been designed to blend in with the interior.
What you mentioned about the screen size is interesting as I grabbed my old iPhone 4S (which I keep to play older mobile games) to visualise the size of the CarPlay and Android Auto UIs. Even though the display may be too small for touch input, I have a feeling that the UI could be navigated using one of the knobs.
Great review clear and concise and excellent delivery well done !
Thank you!
Verrrrry interesting. Thanks for the video.
My pleasure, Ron!
Thank you for sharing this video; and greetings from the USA! I've seen carplay advertised a lot lately; I thick I'll give the Carpuride a go! I have a 2016 Dodge Dart SXT; it has Bluetooth and a CD player...but it doesn't have apple carplay. I've been back and forth on rather to get a whole new head unit for Apple carplay...that will cost me a boat load of money; plus I'm watching my spending. A Carpuride will save me lots of money.
I put the W103 with the reversing camera in my classic Range Rover. Bloody great.
Nice!
Hi Jay, great vid as ever. You mention Nav on the unit, is that had by mirroring your Apple Maps from your phone?
Thanks mate! It is wireless Apple CarPlay. So not mirroring but using CarPlay itself. Phone can connect either using a USB cable or wirelessly. Hope that helps. I’ve just used mine for a 2,000 mile trip down to TN from CT and it has worked flawlessly!
This looks like a very good solution, but you never tested the quality of the bt phonecalls. How does it sound?
Great review and yes, instantly thought of applying to the motorcycle. BMW Motorrad refuses to consider using Apple or Android apps to build their own, which fails miserably. It’s what stops me from buying the newest K1600GTL. Actually considering a Goldwing with all the creature comforts but it pales in comparison.
Thanks for the review. Need to do a little research on this!
Thanks! A couple of things. I have a BMW F900R bike and I downloaded the BMW ConnectedRide app. That has navigation but I hear you, it might not be as good as Apple Maps, Google Maps etc. On my BMW bike they also do a cradle for the iPhone which connects it to the bike. I haven’t tried that yet but I wonder if you could use Apple Maps with that?
The other thing is that Carpuride do a motorcycle version of the one I reviewed. That might suit well and you could still use the 15% discount.
@@JAYREAD I have a mount in the tank for my iPhone in addition to the Garmin NavVI. The idea of using multiple devices vs an integrated unit is the appeal. Odd the BMW cars incorporate CarPlay and Android but Motorrad refuses.
@TMac915 agreed, Tim!
I guess it’s whether you prefer OEM or not. The PCCM+ we had fitted to our 997 C4S is a world better than the original system with better amp, modern sat Nav or Apple Car play to use Waze or Google Maps or Apple maps aswell as DAB+ and much more. The point is it looks as if it part of the original fit and not an obvious add on. That’s a personal choice I guess.
Yes, exactly. Horses for courses!
Thank you so much for sharing this great video! Question, how is the mount and the wobble? Does the screen stay steady while driving?
I am happy to hear that you like it! The mount comes in the box with the screen. No extra charge. It is very steady and you can screw it down so it doesn’t move. ❤️
@@JAYREAD thank you so much, clear. I was also curious about the vibrations, does the screen stay steady while driving or does it shake?
It stays steady!
A dongle would be good 😉. The CD-R 31 is appalling.
I think the real value in this unit is the portability, if you have a lot of old cars with FM radios/ blue tooth you can easily unplug this and swap it between cars quickly. The other thing is you can take it on trips overseas, instantly connects to all your rental cars etc, without having to link your phone to the rental - which in some cases can be a real mission.
If you want a clean install, this probably isn't for you but horses for courses really. Imagine having this tech back when you were a poor teenager with your first
I guess the other benefit is if you want your car to be 100% stock as a collectable and have a shitty radio in it pre blue tooth, this keeps the car stock.
Yes, fair enough!
As elegant as an iPad dangling from your window with cables hanging off of it
And yet doesn’t involve hacking into your dash to fit a double DIN. 🤷♂️
@@JAYREAD It's a false dichotomy, you don't have to choose either or. You can get single DIN radios with large touch screens or choose something that isn't such an eyesore.
@@Jayroro but you can’t have those and transport them from car to car! It might not be for you but this allows your car to stay original and still to have modern, transportable tech! Don’t buy it if you don’t like it!
The PCCM (and double DIN PCCM+) are indeed pretty pricey and do not have great features or functionality. But they do look the part. IMO a better solution in your case is one of several retro-looking single DIN units (eg Continental) which have all possible connections and which do not require a hokey FM transmitter to play through the stereo. Then hang your phone discreetly somewhere where you can still see the navi.
Single DIN doesn’t do it for me at all. Screens are tiny! Besides, this has significantly more functionality and it sounds great. The FM connection is just as good as a wired set up!
@@JAYREAD "The FM connection is just as good as a wired set up!" sorry...but it is not.
@@scott_b1 sorry, but it is. Have you tried it?
Conveniently there is no way for you to test FM transmitter versus wired in your car. But it’s one of those everyone knows things…sort of like FLAC files versus satellite radio.
@boffam00 Unless you have VERY good speakers and far better than the standard ones on an old car like this, you would never be able to perceive a difference. Not at all! Sorry!
I just bought one for my Honda Odyssey. The car doesn’t have aux. And I’ve trying to make the audio play through my speakers through the FM transmitter. But it’s not working!! What do I do??
Make sure your Carpuride is set to the same frequency that your car radio is tuned to.
Nice clean solution. How much vibration does it have when you're driving? Also, are those two wheels I spy in the background?
Vibration is pretty much non-existent! Yes! BMW F900R! My brand new toy!
@@JAYREAD oh nice, full two wheel report in the making
@chriswharrier3571 Watch here, Chris. I decided to start a new channel for two wheel adventures because non-Porsche stuff doesn’t do well here. Take a look and let me know what you think. Another video drops at 7pm tonight. czcams.com/video/6Aur_sS8-9k/video.html
Could not get to work through the cars speakers 2012 Cadillac SRX!!
Why not? What happened? Tune your car radio to the frequency you have your Carpurude set to.
So both an FM transmitter and a 3.5 audio jack are technology from 1991! Isn't there a better solution to stream your music?
You can do Bluetooth with it too or link it with a cord. The only things that beats it is a permanently installed unit but that’s not the point of this: it’s portable.
I have a 1999 996 and this looks pretty good since it won't hurt the original look and mess the classic looks, however I am wondering how to you specifically go about in connecting this thing to the actual speakers of the car? I have an iPhone. I get the Bluetooth connectivity, but not the thing to car audio speakers' connection. Thanks
I figured it out. Good video
Quite easy. You tune your car radio to any random frequency that isn’t being used. Let’s say 107.7 for example. Then on my Carpuride to set that so that it broadcasts at 107.7 and it broadcasts anything you do on your Carpuride (music, GPS etc.) directly to your car radio and through your car speakers. Does that help?
Alternatively, you can use the supplied cable to go from the Carpuride to your car stereo’s aux jack. That’s another way.
@julioirizarry4262 I’m here if you have any further questions. Glad you worked it out. Don’t forget the discount if you use my code and my link.
@@JAYREAD will most likely do! I’m getting the car first however, is getting PPI done in Phoenix tomorrow and if all goes well, I’ll get it on Friday. First Porsche. 1999 996 I saw all your original videos before you sold it. Very good videos by the way. I’m a subscriber now and looking forward to keep watching future videos
....almost better off gluing a iPad to your Dash vs the Porsche one......... but in the meantime.. **INSERT TIM TAYLOR TYPE GRUNTING AT THE RADIO**...but then again, I think for those cars having one of those pop out / slide out media screens from a radio style unit would be cleaner.
..And the Incoherent Post Of The Week Award goes to…! 😆🤣😂
@@JAYREAD OI! Don’t make me break my foot off in Yo tail pipe!
Appreciate they’re sponsoring you but getting a Bluetooth head unit with a mike and phone holder and the same functionality is there without having so much of a blind spot.
You pays your money, you takes your choice. You couldn’t really fit a 9 inch screen in a 928 and have it look at good though and besides, I can move this into my MG when I use that too. Horses for courses.
fits like a pig's saddle
How else is it supposed to fit a windshield?!!? 😂🤣😅
To big, not integrated. A no from me.
Not for everyone, sure!
Uh no. That is janky as heck. You can do so much better with so much little effort. I put a Sony single din with 9 in screen in my 944 and it almost looks like it came that way.
Not ‘janky’ at all! Your effort would have been CONSIDERABLY more than the the three minutes it took me AND I can transport it to another vehicle if I like. I would suspect a 944 fitted with a 9 inch screen would look ‘janky’ and unoriginal!
@@JAYREAD you would be surprised
I’m sure it looks just fine, mate. This has its place though.
Too bulky for my taste.
They do smaller ones. This one is the largest one.
With worst support. Don't buy
Talk to me. I might be able to speak with them and solve your issue? I’m certainly happy to try for you.
@@JAYREAD thank you. They sent me a software update file. After which device isn't working. I have been following up with them. They won't help. Its a simple reinstallation that is needed. But they advising me to buy new one. Which doesn't make sense
@@JAYREAD will be very happy if this is solved. Unfortunately it's not moving further
@@bilvo2163 can you email me at videocarclub@gmail.com so we can discuss there? I’d be very happy to help you but I might need more information or at least to be able to put you in touch with the right people and then let you discuss yourself. Always happy to try!
