Hi guys. The sat nav on my car is pretty outdated compared with the models out today. It doesn't even take post codes...just street names. I was just wondering if there are updated map discs out there I can get to improve the functionality. My current discs state "compatible only with PCM software version 3.0 or higher". appreciate any info or suggestions. Thanks
There are loads of posts about updating the sat nav. Nothing can be done about the PCM but you can buy a far superior aftermarket unit. I went for a double din touchscreen Kenwood with built in Garmin, BT, iPod, tv, etc... Less than 1000 notes installed. You could get it for half that if you install it yourself and don't bother with any of the accessories. Take a look at some audio websites or visit a specialist audio shop. All installations are reversable too when it comes time to sell it. My unit has been used in my last two cars now.
Thanks Sy. I'll check out some of the audio sites. I was trying to avoid spending another wad on accessories if poss. just wanted to try and update maps if poss. appreciate your input :thumb:
Porsche stopped investing in the PCM platform for the 996 a while ago. Best option is to upgrade.
They are still updating the map disks though. The latest is 08.2009, which was released recently. No more functionality, just more up to date maps and more points of interest. No postcode search though AFAIK. They appear to be updating them every two years, in line with other PCM systems.
Richard, Any info on where I can get the updated maps( discs) from? appreciate any info. Thanks!
You would expect you local Porsche dealer could help you part with a rediculous sum of money for a disk. Or maybe someone on here can share thier disk with you? (not sure if it works like that though?)
If you send RichardH a pm, he can help. ~ Maxie
All done Maxie..thanks
