Our radio and rear camera stopped. Sounded like only maybe a rear subwoofer was working and the camera was gone. The screen seemed to show everything else, but no camera. Immediately called the nearest Porsche dealer and the service guy I spoke to had no idea. I was thinking maybe a fuse. Got home and searched the sypmtoms which led me to this video and it explained everything… In 2 minutes!!! Nice Job!!

@bustatrades says:

Has this affected years after 16 where the camera system stops working?

@erik410hd says:

Did not work for me! Tried this many times but no luck. What now?

@sarcophegus says:

Didn't fix the issue for me, It feels like there is some kind of hardware issue, possibly the storage device.

I managed to reboot a 2018 Macan PP which I believe has the PCM 4 – USB wasn’t being recognised as an input.

You have to hold the left rotary knob and the screen goes black OFF. I then clicked and held it for another 5-10 seconds and it reboot, the Porsche logo and Macan logo popped up and USB is working again.

I tried this several times on my 2014 Carerra. It works for a few minutes and then my instruments on the dash either display faults or it goes dead completely. I used the FIXD scanner and says I have 2 major defaults. I can hardly wait for the big dollar bill for the repairs.

Finally figured what the problem was..I had a new AGM battery installed and cleared up all of the faults . Best 150 dollars i had even spent.

This worked for me! My radio was resetting itself every 3 minutes. I had to perform this twice but the second time the unit stopped rebooting completely. My dealer said I needed a new radio $2,000 — thanks for saving me the money!!
