Cayenne rear seat monitor installation

For the first time, this Cayenne has a monitor in the back seat. In fact, for our previous cars as well, my husband has been "theHow about a monitor in the back seat for the children?I said, "I'm not going to be the one to

No, no, no, you can't spoil the children like that. They will take it for granted that they can watch TV in the car.

I was stubbornly opposed to the idea, and so I did not put it on.

However, now that the children are older, when we go on long-distance family road trips, they don't have anything to do in the car, so they start to get tired of the car on the way.I'm hungry." "My back hurts."It was quite difficult to drive while placating them, so we decided to have a rear-seat monitor installed in the Cayenne this time.

With this monitor, my husband would be able to watch TV in the back seat, of course.

My kids rarely watch TV and watch youtube all the time, so I'm more of aI want to connect my Amazon Fire TV Stick so I can watch youtube.No, it's not.
So, the "Anyway, I need to be able to connect an HDMI port.I asked the dealer to add an HDMI port so I could connect my iPhone to the system and project the screen.

He said that, anyway, "To be able to connect an HDMI port.It seems that the "I'm not a fan of that" was the sticking point.

If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can watch Amazon Prime movies and dramas on your Fire TV Stick, and of course you can also watch Youtube.Watch Amazon Prime by connecting the HDMI port on the TV in the hotel where you are traveling.My husband always has a travel-only Fire TV Stick in his suitcase because he can use it for such purposes.

Incidentally, when I recently gave birth to my third child, I was told in advance that due to the coronavirus, I would not be allowed any visitors while in the hospital, and that my baby would be kept by a midwife at all times.There is nothing to do while in the hospital, so mom is pretty much free (laughs).The maternity hospital told me, "We're not going to be able to do this.

So I brought my Fire TV Stick, and in fact, since I was so bored during my hospital stay, I was able to watch 7 or 8 Amazon Prime movies on my TV. I'm really glad I brought it with me!

So I digress a bit.I want to use Fire TV Stick with Cayenne so I can connect the HDMI port.was my husband's preference, and we were able to have it as a dealer option.

How to operate, etc.

The actual controls for watching Amazon Prime and youtube in the car are

1 Connect to the HDMI terminal(I had the cable run out to the center console)
Power is obtained from USB-C in the center console. (All USB ports on the Cayenne are USB-C.) Wifi is provided by Porsche Connect at 3GB/month. If I ever run out of that amount, I plan to use tethering on my phone.

2 Press and hold the "NAVI" button(When I do this, I have the TV set to come on first.)

3 Press and hold the "NAVI" button again(Switches to HDMI input)

4 Press the "SOURCE" button for sound and select the appropriate FM radio frequency(When the radio is selected, it is set to produce sound. The sound does not come directly from the monitor. My husband said it could be because the digital signal from the terrestrial digital or HDMI is converted to analog and projected on the monitor.)

5 Control the screen with Fire TV Stick's remote control(Our children operate the controls in the back seat.)

This procedure will allow you to freely watch Youtube, etc. in the back seat.

The kids were so excited to try it that when we drove around the neighborhood the other day, they said, "We're going to have a lot of fun.Eh, I want a longer ride!I was so excited that I even said, "I'm not drunk. And since the Cayenne has a wide backseat and allows you to look away from the monitor, it doesn't seem to be particularly intoxicating. Also.Children can watch youtube on the back seat while adults can watch the navigation screen on the front monitor.It is.

If the sound is too loud, it can be set to produce sound in the main rear seats, and the front seats will be quite quiet, so adults can enjoy conversations as adults.

If it is so comfortable, I wish I had put it on my previous Panamera... (laughs)

    Good morning, Mina.

    I see that the capacity of Porsche Connect is 10 GB starting with the 2020 model.
    It seems that 3 GB was not enough.
    Isn't 911 10 GB?

    In case you are wondering, due to the Corona, my dealer has cancelled the GT4 that I had put a deposit on.
    Perhaps, like me, you made a deposit before Corona and did not cancel in time...
    Corona is a scary place.

      Thank you for everything!

      >I see that the capacity of Porsche Connect is 10GB from the 2020 model year.
      If you already own a model that is three years old, you can choose a service with 10 GB of capacity, and
      The new car is still 3GB. (I wonder why...)

      However, the 10GB service also costs about 30,000 yen per year, which I think is a bit expensive... ^^;

      >In case you are wondering, due to the Corona, my dealer has cancelled the GT4 that I had put a deposit on.
      I see... the corona is having an impact in many places...

    Mysterious obsession lol No, as a parent I deserve it ❕.
    But by the time your daughter gets her driver's license, I can't imagine what she will have, let alone a TV. Maybe, on the contrary, there will be nothing on it, not even a steering wheel (scary).

      Mr. Aces High.
      Thank you for your commitment to mystery! (LOL)
      I know...I wonder if automatic driving will be the norm by the time my daughter grows up.
      I wonder if MT license or something like that exists... (laughs)

    Hi Mina.

    My dealer explained at the time of delivery that my Cayman had a 10GB capacity.
    Is it a misunderstanding of the person in charge?
    To be honest, I haven't used most of the capacity yet because I haven't mastered it properly yet...
    I'll ask the dealer once I've looked at the Porsche website and you're right.

      I see!
      It's all kinds of complicated...
      In our house, if it were just adults, I don't think we'd use it that much.
      With a child, 3 gigs is not enough at all;

    Hi Mina.

    I just got an official response from the dealership about the capacity of Porsche Connect.
    [Please be assured that as of right now, all customers who have registered their new cars are on 10G.
    He said.

    Personally, I find it painful that engine oil is not commercially available.
    The standard for certified oil has changed from the conventional A40 to C40, but C40 seems to be sold only by dealers worldwide.
    I contacted Mobil and was told that there are no plans for domestic sales.
    I've heard rumors on eBay that they got it through a special route and are handling it, but the shipping is more than twice as much as the product, so there's no point.
    A friend of mine changed the oil in his 981 Boxster at the dealer, and he said it cost 45,000 yen, so folks are freaking out.

      I see! Thank you for telling us.

      As for engine oil, yes, it is very expensive to get an oil change at the dealer...
      The oil itself is expensive, and I think it cost that much at our house ^^^;

    Mina Nice to meet you.
    I always enjoy reading your blog.

    I am considering switching from a Macan to a Cayenne, referring to your blog, but according to Porsche Center Okayama, "We do not recommend the installation of a TV tuner on a Cayenne that we have installed, because there are almost no examples of successful use afterwards and we have never received any complaints."
    I was told.

    How is Mina's Cayenne doing since then?
    We would appreciate your feedback.
    Best regards.

      Thank you for visiting my blog!

      I asked my husband about Cayenne's TV tuner.

      I've had no problems at all with Cayenne's TV tuner so far.
      Well, we hardly watch TV at home, only HDMI.
      Also, when projecting external images to a Porsche's navigation system, the image quality will be converted to analog, not digital, so I don't think you should expect high quality.
      (Though perhaps there is a construction method that can be projected in digital form.)"
      He said.

      I hope this was helpful..., Best regards!

    Thank you Mina.

    There is no custom store in Okayama Prefecture that has a lot of experience in Porsche construction, so we are not sure what to do.

    Thank you for your valuable input, it was helpful.

    Thank you very much.
    Looking forward to more of your blogs in the future!
