Hi
Has anyone managed to get the app working to enable you to stream videos to the passenger or main centre display screen? I've followed the YouTube tutorial and tried to redeem the 'free voucher' for ScreenhitsTV but can't get past a blank landing page of ScreenhitsTV? I've tried the process via apps and different browsers/security settings but no success. Anyone else managed to sort this?

Porsche ScreenhitsTV tutorial
 
I found it quite straightforward, though connection is frustrating. I need to reconnect to my phone's wifi hotspot every time, it doesn't just show up in search. Give your Porsche Pro a ring at your dealership if you're still struggling, they should be able to help you out.
I'd love to know if there's a way to connect the TV audio to bluetooth headphones. Apparently it's distracting to the driver to hear a movie & not know what's going on ;)
 
Thanks for this and good to hear it was straightforward for you. I've now succeeded on my 4th attempt. I'm convinced it was a ScreenhitsTV service issue as I didn't do anything different to finally get it working - the redeem voucher suddenly worked ok and allowed me to setup an account and then select my media streaming services including iPlayer. My first 'test' video was Shaun the Sheep :)

I swapped several ideas with my Porsche Pro who was very helpful and she also reached out to another OPC as well as reading Rennlist. Sounds like several others having similar issues. Now it's working using my home wi-fi I'm going to try it out and about using mobile network connection and see how it performs.

I think you are right about headphone options. Perhaps Porsche will issue more functionality via software updates over time? In hindsight as it currently stands I think I'd spend the £1000 on other options over the passenger display.

I will report back on how we get on with it out on the road. Still loving the car overall though :)
 
Hi, the most disappointing thing about the Screenhits app is that you have to have an external data link to make it work. I believe Porsche USA include enough data in their packages that you don't need to do it over there. My other gripe is that the latest Cayenne uses an e-sim so when the three year initial data package expires if you want to continue to get traffic information you have to buy a Porsche data package which is very bad value. Maybe I shouldn't bitch about these relatively low costs when I have bought a £100k+ car but it does annoy me.
 
I agree Jon. The passenger screen functionality is overhyped / expectations mismanaged IMO. For the main PCM screen we almost entirely rely on car play for functionality. Porsche should be enabling similar for the passenger screen in my view with the additions of media apps like Netflix. I see there are aftermarket solutions for getting apps like Netflix to work through the main PCM. Maybe they will allow same in passenger screen in time?
