I bought the car last week and noticed it has version 1.40 on the
PCM
. Talking to OPC and for £150(UK) they said I could update to the latest firmware and maps. Not bad, so I headed down this morning to do just that...
3 hours later and they have managed to get the firmware in (now 1.47) but they could not get maps on. They've referred back to Porsche to see what they are doing wrong.
A shame - but the car was washed for free and they fixed a couple of pother small niggles whilst I was there...
Anyone else had issues getting a PCM3.0 updated with new maps?

Firmware does not include maps, firmware is done with
PIWIS
system. Maps I believe are DVD load.
Yip - the firmware was no issue - just loading the latest maps from DVD afterwards...
They are now saying get have put the firmware to a 2014 version but do not have install codes for 2014 maps. They are going to take my car and try to get the maps from a newer car and install on mine... All seems a bit odd... New cars are
PCM4
so surely different...

So, they've done it. Maps now look just like those in new 2014 cars. But version is now 2.23 instead of 1.47. Quite a jump

Obviously the map data is updated, but are you saying that the interface looks different, too? If so, what else (besides the updated basemap) is changed?
Most screens and options are the same. Maps much sharper and look different. I think there are different options in map mode... Oh and 6 digit postcodes instead of 4 (uk).

Thanks for the feedback! Been wondering whether the update was worth it on my '11 model. I'm going to check and see what version my firmware is and ask about that, too, the next time I'm at the dealer for service.

Quick question... New owner here. It was my understanding that they made a change from Disk Nav to Hard Drive Nav? True? I think I have 2.1..
