Another great Santirx video! Highly informative, beautifully shot and edited. Is that your aftermarket head unit from your earlier video? Which launcher are you using? It looks OEM. All the best, Zed

Thanks for your kind words and your support, much appreciated! Yes, that is the aftermarket unit. It is DaiNav and the Launcher comes with the unit as standard.

That is very cool. They seem to have emulated the stock Porsche launcher almost to perfection. I wish my similar ZWNAV unit in my Panamera looked as good as that 'out of the box'. Great video - thanks for taking the time.

I've got the original one, but on the small PCM screen it's good enough. Great to know this tweak, but sucks that it takes PIWIS to calibrate the thing. Nevertheless, great tutorial!

Thanks for the excellent video! Do you know when the change was made to the camera versions? I have a 2017 and the image is not good. I'm wondering if this would improve it, but looking at some ebay listings, they show a 2017 with the new part number.

I think 2017 was already better than what I had in my 2015. 2015 was really bad. I’m not sure when this last version of the rear view camera was manufactured, it might had been for 2018 model, but I don’t really know. The image of this new camera I installed is not perfect, but is 1000% better than what I had. Thanks for your kind words! And for your support!

HI Santirx - thank you for a very good video once again. I'm thinking of changing out my tail lights to euro spec and realized that it requires a bumper removal, so this will be very useful. While I'm at it, I may change the camera too but do you know if the new one would still require programming if I have the OEM center console on a 2016?

Thanks a lot! Your words mean a lot! Coding or adaptation is necessary for many new components. It doesn’t have anything to do with the head unit, but rather, you need to tell the camera controller that there is a new camera. So, in short, yes, you will need to code.

An alternative Santirx could have used would be to run an aftermarket HD camera to the same location as the low rent OEM camera and then hook up via his new HU. It's even more work, of course, but it would have avoided the need for coding. So many things on modern Porsches need coding to the car. That's how I did it on my wife's Cayman. The hardest part is the wiring from front to back of the car. Hooking it into the aftermarket HU is very simple.

Do you need the quick jack extensions for the macan?

Yes, they are good to have. Although you could manage to lift with the supplied rubber blocks.

It is PIWIS 3, and the connector is a VAS6154 version 1.6.6.0. I got PIWIS in my own computer from a few contacts I have. If interested, contact Mars at: Telegram: mhx_log Or contact Don at: Email: Info@thatcarguy.club

Thanks much appreciated

please clarify, this camera i see it on sale on ebay but they say if fits macan from 2019. You have a 2015 macan but you have a new touch radio different from the original. I also have a 2015 macan and still have the original radio/touch screen. does this camera is compatible with standard 2015 macan radio ??

For the camera, I show the specific part numbers in the video. There are some that claim to fit, but don’t fit. It needs to have same 2 connectors. On the head unit, that doesnt matter. The video camera sends a video signal to the control module and that sends the signal to a screen. Whether you have the PCM3.1 or an aftermarket unit, as long as you can connect the feed, it should work. The key is that you need to re-code the new camera to the control module using PIWIS.

Is PIWIZ the only tool to use to recalibrate the camera?

Is the camera OEM or from aliexpress? Just looked up the part # oem and it’s a lot lol
