The original “T” needs to be cut as you saw in the video but the rest of the tubing can be left in place. For the clamps, contact me direct at porschepcm31@gmail.com or in Macan forum (SANTIRX). Thanks for watching and subscribe to the channel!

You need to properly fill cooling system. Fill reservoir, and while car is coming to temperature, you need to actuate the vent valve to let the air out. You actuate the vent valve by lifting the metal handle on the valve. As you do that, you probably will see reservoir level go down and you need to refill. This will take some time until your system is finally free of air. I’ll do a short video on this and post it tonight. You probably have a lot of air ingested in the system. Once you get a pocket of air in the pump, it will starve the pump and coolant will stop flowing.

Okay, I have ordered you coolant purge kit from Amazon. A video on how to properly use this would be great! Thank you so much for all that you do for the Macan community! I’m also going to prepare myself for a waterpump and thermostat replacement. With 90,000miles, I know it’s just a matter of time.

@@pandabmw Sorry, I didn’t mean for you to buy the vacuum fill system. I meant you could still purge system using the vent valve. You turn car on (open the reservoir a bit, not completely), let car get to temperature and actuate vent valve by lifting the wire on vent valve. That will release air. If you still want to fill using vacuum, then you need to empty the coolant completely and fill using vacuum system. Starting at minute 38:12 of the following video: Coolant Pump Failure!

Copy the BMP format boot logo I put in the link in video description into a thumb drive (thumb drive needs to be less than 32GB and formatted to FAT32). Once you do that, place thumb drive into data USB port of unit. Then, go to settings - car infotainment - about device. Then hit the gear symbol near the first line and enter 8888 as code. You’ll see a menu there, one that says Boot Logo. Press that and then you will see the screen with different options. On the left you’ll see the USB, press that, that will bring the logo in thumb drive. Select and save. You will need to reboot. Hopefully this helps. Subscribe to the channel!

Thanks for your kind words. Let us know when you install it! And, yes, this is the DaiNav FYT unit. It has been good so far. I certainly recommend it. I recently got a dual screen unit which I received yesterday and will be installing it, so I will remove my FYT. I already have a video on the dual screen… but will make additional videos on this installation, setup, additional reviews, etc…. Stay tuned, and subscribe to the channel if you haven’t!

This requires flashing the system. It is a 2GB file. Request to ACARDash.

You need a USB flash for this. It is about 1.9G in size. Ask ACAR for this.

@@porscheDIY All done successfully, spend half a day and couple hundred on parts and materials. Thank you for this video helps a lot.

@@goldenpassage4576 Love it! Thanks for sharing.

@@victoro6310 Yes, I didn’t even try that. I don’t think it would’ve help, but maybe worth trying.

None of these are good for what you want to do. The issue is that they don’t have ECU Coding capability. You need a scanner that has ECU Coding capability. I can recommend Otofix D1 which is probably one of the cheapest with ECU Coding capability. You can also check TopDon.

This is a Helix Conductor, which I use to control mane parameters of my Helix V Twelve aftermarket amplifier. What you see in the center of all the illuminated LEDs is a knob, not a hole… I designed and 3D printed the plate where the conductor is installed to make it OEM.

I put website link on video: radhauswheels.com There’s also a thread with photos in following link: www.macanforum.com/threads/new-product-alert-stainless-steel-x-pipe-for-all-v6-models.195287/?post_id=2812295#post-2812295 I plan to release video on installation soon…

Everything is exactly the same for all drivetrain components (PDK transmission, Gearbox, transfer case and differential). The only thing you need to know is if the differential is PTV vs non-PTV, as they required different oil. This will be the same in S, GTS and Turbo. Thanks for subscribing!

Thanks for your kind words. It’s been a while since I uninstalled this unit in favor of the FYT class unit, so unfortunately I don’t know. Hopefully someone will be able to answer here. Thanks again and subscribe to the channel if you haven’t done so!

Do you have Bose or base system? If you connect direct using RCA cables and connections, there is a possibility that you are introducing ground interference. This is very difficult to address… I would recommend to do a search on how to resolve ground interference in audio systems. If your system is Bose, you may still be introducing ground interference if a connection is not well made or if there is contact of RCA metal parts with other metal parts… I would tape over all audio connections with electrical tape. Thanks for watching and subscribe to the channel!

Thanks for watching! So, only two speakers are working? This unit produces stereo audio. This means that stereo audio will go to your speakers (L/R) only. All speakers (including rear) will produce that same L/R sound. Fading is not possible, hence you need to keep the fader in the center or to the front. Audio should come out at same output through all speakers front and rear. This is a disadvantage for these units when compared with PCM3.1 or 4.0. Thanks for your support and subscribe to the channel!

@@porscheDIY I have a vertical 10.4" unit from about 4 years ago. The back has a big, gold-colored box (maybe 5" tall and 6" deep) and the MOST is built into the unit. When you turn on the "Surround Sound" feature - the sound comes alive for the entire car and you can bias to the right rear, left rear, etc. So - they had the ability to do that several years ago and have stopped. I can't imagine how that helps their sales.

@@markstephenson6952 I have to agree with your statement. I guess this is a way for them to make these units more generic so that they can fit more cars (at least the guts of the unit). This is something we have been asking for.

Just google Boot Animation Factory. Then you should find multiple places where to download. Thanks for watching and subscribe!

Thanks! Let us know how it goes. The knob I have in center console is an Audiotec-Fischer Helix Conductor to control my aftermarket Helix V Twelve amplifier. I designed and 3D printed the plate is mounted on. Thanks for watching and subscribe!

Was wondering the same thing. Thought it was a control knob for the head unit. I would pay big bucks to have that function similar to BMWs control

@@xxxxRKxxxx I installed this unit on friend’s Macan who lives 800 miles away…😊. However, I did make the decision to buy a new one for me. It should arrive in a week or so, I will install in my Macan and will make one or a couple of videos on setup, use and maybe one for for long-term use… stay tuned!

@@porscheDIY Can hardly wait. You make very good videos!

@@xxxxRKxxxx thanks for your kind words! ACARDash also sent me a dash clock and a dash cam for review. Will be filming that install and review soon. I already filmed the clock but waiting on ACARDash to see if they are going to update. The clock, as is, it’s not going to be a good fit for the US market and I don’t want my name attached to something that I can’t recommend.

Did you use the dongar adapter? It should turn off with car if you connected it to right location. Mine turns off when I turn car off. Check your connections and let us know if you need additional help. Thanks for watching and subscribe to the channel.

Did you confirmed that the noise is coming from the cardan drive shaft bearing? It turns out my noise was coming from the differential front bearing, not the drive shaft support bearing. The shaft replacement is not bad. The only part that may be difficult is detaching the differential flange, because it tends to fuse in place. I detail a procedure on how to un- fuse it in my video. Otherwise it can be done even without removing the exhaust as you saw in my video. Let us know how it goes. I still need to edit and publish my differential replacement video… thanks for watching and subscribe!

Glad you liked it! Hope you are subscribed!

Thanks so much! gracias!

Thanks for sharing. I think the Cayenne S and Macan share the exact same engine that year. So, yes, this could be a possibility. Hope everything is solved quickly for you. Subscribe to the channel!

If it making noises, I wonder if the bolts were tightened to torque specs. The torque should be done at normal ride height, which is the height one would normally use the most. Thanks for watching and subscribe!

Is there a specific angle when they should be tight? Thanks again

@nunoseixo3273 Just at ride height. No specific angle.

@@porscheDIY Thank you

I think so. I would consult the manual or a Porsche dealer or an Indy. Thanks for watching and subscribe!

Thanks for watching. I’m using a full EMC2 Design front spoiler. The spoiler is actually a 991.1 OEM spoiler that EMC2 Design adapts to a 718 with custom hardware they produce. Also, there are side ducts that are optional but in my opinion are a must to complete the look. The give you all you need to install, including the spoiler. I’m planning on releasing a video on this soon. Subscribe to the channel and hit the notification button so that you are informed when it comes out. emc2design.com/718-982-boxster-front-lip-spoilers

Yes, thanks to you and your lip spoiler design. Thanks for watching and for your support. There will be a review video coming soon for that front lip spoiler and the duct tail spoiler. I’ll combine both in a single video… and hopefully I can grab some more nice video from different angles on how it looks. Gonna try to translate the in-person experience to the video…. Again, thanks for your kind words and for watching!

@@victoro6310 I guess you can use either or. I also got braided stainless steel lines from Flat6 and will be doing a full brake service this week as well. I may use the ABS bleed procedure this time. I have used the Schwaben pump for a few flushes with no issues.

@@porscheDIY How'd it go? So no need to do anything with the OBD (parking brake, etc)? Just lock the suspension before raising the car?

@ If you are only doing the braided line installation, there is no need for OBD computer. I did end up installing mine as part as a whole brake replacement and everything went well. My only recommendation, put a lot of rags around the area of the lines you are removing because it will start to drip. The brake oil is corrosive to paint, so if anything gets into a painted area (like sway bar or caliper, clean immediately). I had rags all over those areas. It is pretty straight forward. Start at the far end away from caliper, then remove from caliper… installation in reverse. Then you need to bleed the brakes. For that you will need something like a schwaben kit, of an OBD2 scanner to have the brakes bled. I was intending on using OBD2, but didn’t have time in the end and went with the schwaben kit which I have used before and I know it works. Everything is working perfectly for me.

@@porscheDIY Yeah that's what I did. I used schwaben pressure also and only used pretty much exactly just 1L of fluid to do the car. Sprayed a lot of rubbing alcohol to get rid of the fluid that came leaking and a lot of wiping. No OBD was used. Seems ok. I've not tested if the ABS is still working. I also didn't forget to lock the air suspension. I didn't know how much to tighten the new lines coz it's a bit worrisome since it's the part that's making the car stop. I made sure it's not loose.

@@victoro6310 good! Thanks for sharing. There are torque specs for this line, but I went with my calibrated hand method…🙂. Making sure it was snugged.

@@victoro6310 good suggestion. Thanks for watching and subscribe to the channel.

Glad this helped. Thanks for watching and subscribe to the channel!

Hey thanks! I’m not sure, but I think tubing in the Cayenne looks similar. Some Cayenne V6 models have same engine as Macan, so the solution will work for those. Again, thanks for your kind words and I hope you subscribe to the channel!

You can use OEM camera. Will work well. If you watch the video you see that the rear camera view is actually from OEM camera. For the logo, you need a BMP file that is 1920x1440 with 2 images centered one on top of other equally spaced. I can make one that I made available. Will post link later.

@@porscheDIYhello, have you posted the image? Thank you

@@jkkkkk1516 the logo link in the video description

@@agusbal9367 the logo link is in the video description.

@@porscheDIY I Can only see 2 links to amazon and one to another video. I may be looking in the wrong video?

Not sure if I understand your question. I removed the factory springs and installed eibach springs which are about 1” shorter. Thanks for watching though… and subscribe to the channel!

@porscheDIY these cars were offered with three types of suspension from factory: Standard, PASM - 10 mm, sport pasm - 20 mm

@@HoirkmanS Thanks for clarifying. Mine was standard suspension. You can easily see that by the lack of wire to my shock absorber strut… both PASM suspensions have wire that regulates the stiffness of the suspension. Hope this helps.

Yes, send me an email at porschepcm31@gmail.com with title “CONDUCTOR PLATE”. I’ll give you all details there.

@ Just sent you a email

@@2alejandro2008 sure. Thanks for watching and subscribe to the channel!

@@butterfly030712 unfortunately no. You would need the app, through your phone, but it won’t support XM natively.

@@porscheDIY Thank you! Last question: Does this unit work well with the factory Bose system?

@ yes, however, as stated in video I recommend that the MOST converter is upgraded. The one provided in the unit is not good. Thanks for watching and subscribe to the channel!

Most likely a setting. Go to passcode protected menu using 3368 and select the appropriate camera, either 360 or non-360. See this other video: th-cam.com/video/KlxeGsowniE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FlSIyKbRMDLOanUe

@@skeeterjeep145 To be fair, my Macan S base price was $58K in 2014. It jumped to $68K with all the options I specified. The Macan shares suspension components with Audi, so most, if not all of these suspension components can also be found in Audi Q5 and even the Lamborghini Urus… exact same. They are still used in more modern Macan generations. Also, I found only one bushing in dire need of replacement. All others were relatively OK, but I still decided to replace everything. In addition, a factor that may have accelerated bushing degradation is that I lowered my Macan by 30mm and didn’t losen and retorqued bushings at new height. So bushings were probably stressed for a long time due to this… leading to this specific bushing premature failure. Thanks for watching and subscribe to the channel!

Hi. Sorry to hear. The video description have links to the materials you need to make the hose adapter. Got them from Amazon. A 20cuft N2 cylinder should be OK. I was able to use my 40cuft for like 10 fills… so you should be fine. Good luck! And let us know how it goes. I got my Nitrogen 5 (high purity) from Linde. You should try there.

@@porscheDIY so from my understanding is the last 2 brass fitting in the links is to create 1/4 NPT male to M10x1 female correct ? the description said something about 3/4" Flare Male to 1/4" NPT Male but the amazon link is 1/4" Flare Male to 1/4" NPT Male

@@zzzly4038 good catch… the description of the fitting is wrong, but the link is the correct one. Is 1/4 flare male to 1/4 NPT male. I direct copy from Amazon and that is the description in Amazon although you can then select sizing. I corrected it in the video description now. Thanks for letting me know. All this is to convert the 1/4” flare female connection of the hose to the M10 female connection needed to connect the front right strut tubing fitting. Which is the one you need to connect to fill the system. I spent weeks researching this…😊

@@porscheDIY thank you for a quick reply . i can't believe that nobody making this type of an adapter .

@@zzzly4038 Well, I guess you can buy this directly from Porsche but is gonna cost you an arm and a leg.

The fittings I used when I made video as you probably saw belonged to a OEM Porsche part tubing. Later, I got a chinese knock off just to get fitting dimensions so that we can make a 3D design and eventually make an aluminum fitting (which is ongoing). Honestly, the chinese knock off tubing felt softer (not rigid), even the fittings felt different. So, for sure a different material. Whether is better or worse, I don’t know. Only way to know if chinese is at par or better than OEM is to subject it to same stresses as OEM and see what happens. If it was me doing this again, I would go OEM just because fittings seem to last longer than tubing itself and is the known material in my view. Would not risk this for a $150 price difference.

I got 10ft I think, but I feel I used like 3ft. Sorry, I didn’t measure exactly.

I think this is the case with all these Android units. They have these type of screens. Do you know of any Android unit with OLED? PCM3.1 is certainly not OLED, so this is an improvement from PCM3.1, I think.
