Discovery failed
DISCOVERY FAILED offers RETRY. If scanning repeatedly fails, record the message and head-unit identity, then follow the diagnostic procedure.
CHAPIN SOFTWARE / PIC
Getting started
Every step of the automatic RC1 first-run wizard, from discovery to your default Home app.
AUTOMATIC FIRST RUN
Discover first. Configure next.
The wizard starts when discovery or first-run setup is incomplete. On a clean installation it guides you from the initial scan to the Home selection.
The available illustration is the first wizard screen. The steps below describe the RC1 sequence; they are not invented head-unit screenshots.
Welcome
DISCOVER THIS HEAD UNIT opens automatically on a fresh installation. Tap START DISCOVERY. Incomplete setup can reopen or resume the wizard.
Scanning
Wait at SCANNING HEAD UNIT while PIC detects the platform, capabilities and providers. There are no configuration choices on this step.
Discovery complete
Review Platform, Confidence, SoC, Android/API, GPS, Bluetooth and provider counts. Tap CONFIGURE YOUR PORSCHE. Detection is not a hardware certification.
Vehicle and units
Choose the matching vehicle profile, check tank capacity, then choose KM/KM/H or MI/MPH and L/100 KM, KM/L, MPG US or MPG UK. Tap CONTINUE. This configures calculation assumptions, not the ECU.
PIC system access
Use the Notification Access switch, then OPEN ANDROID SETTINGS to authorize PIC. Return to see the updated state. CONTINUE or NOT NOW proceeds; deferring can limit integrated media information.
Make PIC your Home
Use the switch and Android settings to select PIC as the Home app. Return to PIC, then CONTINUE. NOT NOW also finishes when PIC is not the default launcher. HU startup settings may be separate.
IF NEEDED
Retry and finish the remaining setup.
Permissions requested later
Location, music/storage, contacts and call history are requested by the relevant functions. The wizard does not pair your phone or connect an OBD adapter.
