If you take the iPhone out of the battery case and plug into the iPhone directly, does that work?

I havent tried that....I know that may sound a bit lame, but the case seems very well secured and not having put it on, not sure how it comes off! Seen a micro usb to female lightning adapter....if it’s just sensing a lightning chip on the cable, it might work....?ralphmusic said:
Basics, assuming you have a 718 series, and a recent iPhone model and IoS you use a cable to connect the iPhone to the centre console USB port per the instructions in the manual.
You can connect wirelessly but that requires a third-party device which was the subject of another thread, possibly in the 991 Section.
Why connect iPhone directly outside the case? I was just suggesting options in the absence of info, I am not saying the case is the problem but if you can't connect per the car's manual using the case's port, eliminate it to see if that made a difference.
Also, there might be a delay before it connects for the first time.

quick question and perhaps I’m being lazy......
Does anyone know if CarPlay only works with a lightening cable?
I‘m Normally android but just got an iPhone though work, it it has a battery extender case on it that is micro usb powered. I had plugged it into the usb, but didn’t get any messages on PCM so assume it doesn’t work....seems a shame to take the case off.....etc but wondered if I was doing something wrong...?

......so, iPad with lightning did work. Tried to remove phone which I discovered is an iPhone 8.....couldn’t the phone out - it’s split 80:20, can get the 20 off but not the 80!
plugged it via micro usb and nothing, but then a message on the phone about unlocking to access features - unlocked and CarPlay displayed on PCM - thanks for putting up with my stupidity!
Not having a good lockdown day!

Glad you worked it out. Now you just have to cope with Porsche's non-integration of Apple CarPlay and PCM.
I have similar problem connected iphone 6s to usb in glove box and under arm rest and i think my issue is that Apple play is not a standarc feature but an option on 718 2017 model. I can connect as ipod but not car play comes on the screen. I bought an old iphone as i thought it was standard. Will now look to see if a company will retro fit something for Android.
