I just picked up a lower mileage 2017 Cayenne S and I want to activate Android Auto.

What's the latest and best method to do this? Is M.I.B the way to go? I also know there's a guy called Sima Service that will do it through TeamViewer, anyone know if he is just using MIB too or if he has some other OEM method for activation?

Congrats on your '17 Cayenne S. :thumbup: What color is the exterior and interior of your new-to-you ride? We've had three over the years - a black '14 Turbo, a Quartzite Grey Metallic '19 Turbo and now an Algarve Blue Metallic '24 S. All were/are excellent vehicles.

I haven't an answer to your Android Auto query but there are those here who know about those kinds of upgrades and activations. Will try to help keep your question on the radar for others to see.

Meanwhile, there is a Cayenne photo posting thread and it would be great to have yours there if you care to post. The Cayenne photo thread is here

Also, here's a link to Tom's picture-posting guide in case needed - it's easy to post photos on the site.

Can’t comment on “Best”, but the other approach many take is the dongles:
