Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

That sounds like far more functionality than the factory installed NAV.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

Last weekend, I installed the PCM 2.1, the Dension Gateway for iPod , and Porsche navigation. I picked up the unit used off ebay, and let me say, did I get lucky! The car it came out of (997 Turbo) had Bose , Navigation, and a CD Changer. I didn't need ANY dealer programming, and it all works!!! :banana: The Dension performance is decent. Sound is flawless, and menu and searching is ok, it can be a little slow at times, but much quicker than I expected it would be. Menu system is pretty clean, and decently easy to work through. Considering its aftermarket, and utilizing the PCM , it works pretty closely to my friends new BMW with iDrive/USB ipod control. PCM also brings some nice functions to the Cayman that I was not aware of before. You can program settings for each key. What door it will unlock, etc. You can adjust the lighting, the rain sensor settings, etc. All very nice touches that I was not aware of before. I also want to post a thank you to forum sponsor SunCoast Porsche, especially Ric Knab. I called Ric, told him what parts I already had and my car configuration, and he sent me every other piece I needed, right down to OEM wire ties! The fiber optic harnesses were all correct, and the install went very smoothly. It was just like having a proper retrofit kit.

Congrats! That sounds like far more functionality than the factory installed NAV. Have we through you found a better solution than what P-AG offers us factory built?

POST 3Original post

I have never used a PCM , as installed in a Cayman from the factory. Do you have a "factory PCM ?" Do you not have some programming options for keys, etc?

POST 4Original post

The factory unit does have the functionality you've described; ability to set rain sensor, key memory, climate control memory, etc. You definitley lucked out on the no-programming. - Suneet

POST 5Original post

I actually have sport chrono plus features in it now too..but it gives an error when I try it because the other components are not connected.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
