Problems with Apple Car Play
Hello,
I am using the Scenic App on my iPhone 10 with latest software in my Porsche via Apple Carplay (cable) to have my motorcycles routes in my car.
Without Scenic my iPhone never looses the carplay-connection.
With Scenic and a routing running the iPhone looses the carplay connection within 15min 3 or more times. Every time. I bought the Scenic App to have my motorcycle routes via carplay on my car’s display without the need of an additional motorcycle navigation system in my car. Because with a Scenic routing running and loosing the carplay connection reproducible this setup and buy is not useable. Does somebody know this problem and a workaround? Thank you orish
PS: Why is it not possible to create a routing in Scenic per webbrowser, safe it there (logged in) and they appear also in the iPhone app?
Were you running latest version of Scenic (2.2.7)? Also see here: https://scenicapp.space/blog/knowledge-base/no-voice-guidance-instructions/
having said that, have received more reports from Porsche drivers with similar problem. Could you let me know version number? (It’s at the bottom of settings tab)
Hi Guido,
oh wow...I have to say sorry! Just realized checking the version number that I am running Sygic and not Scenic. That’s embarrassing now.
Therefore 2 questions:
Using Scenic:
- can I import easily gpx files into the app?
- any info regarding stability and carplay on Porsche PCM?
Thanks a lot

Ok. Well. At least it was not a problem with Scenic 🙂. But, yes, Porsche drivers have reported some problems. Here’s as another Porsche driver described it and my response to it.
1. Status: Scenic Voice Output "Device Standard"
iphone connected to Porsche Radio (PCM) via Lightning cable.
Media source: iphone -> Navi announcements are announced very well (perfect!).
Media source: Tuner FM -> NO more announcements 🙁
Media source: no matter, but mute activated -> NO announcement
This is all as expected and what one typically would want
2. Status: Scenic Voice Output "as a phone call (HFP)"
iphone connected to Porsche radio (PCM) via Lightning cable
Media source: iphone -> NO announcements
Media source: Tuner FM -> Phone announcement o.k.
Still looking into this. Could be a bug involved but not sure.
Regarding GPX. This is possible. There are many ways to import. Have a look at import tab and tap the (i) buttons. Also Tutorial Video on support page will give a good overview on possibilities.
Thank you Guido. Will have a look into it. Appreciate.
