Hey - just bought a 991.2 c2.  It is really an exceptional car - I've read many reviews about it being different in a not so good way(sound, turbo) vs the 991.1 - that's just crap.  Drive them both - the new model feels faster sooner and that makes it feel much lighter - just a great car - but you have to drive to see for yourself.

 

I'm just getting used to the new pcm.  I have no experience with the unit in the 991.1.  After about 500 miles on the car I'd say it takes a bit to figure this out.  Id say problem 1 is it does not support wireless carplay - meaning you have to plug in your phone to get it to work.  Problem 2 - the pcm is really a nice device on its own and I'm not really sure carplay makes it much better - it actually might make it worse.  It took me 499 miles to figure out how to get it back to carplay mode from the radio mode.  By chance, I just noticed the carplay button on the home screen - you can't get to it from every screen - eg you have to go home to get back to car play - too many clicks when driving IMHO. It didn't come with a sim card installed initially and I just installed it now, it seems to be more active (my icloud stored music shows now) - not sure why music stored on my phone shows with the sim card and pandora plays just fine.  Using the iphone in ipod mode and the standard pcm nav is really very nice and well thought out - the carplay integration seems rushed - I hope they can update the software - make wireless work, make carplay reachable from any pcm screen and have a radio tuner in carplay - jumping back and forth seems silly.

 

Again, this is just a great car.
