I just bought a 2002 C4 Cab with Navigation and Cd-Changer. It wasn't until I was ready to drive away that I noticed that the Nav CD was missing. The dealer (not a Porsche dealer) said they did not have the CD, but I could get it from the dealer.
I called the local dealers and the parts guys said I would have to order it with Navteq. I called Navteq and they want $140 for the West CD or $299 for the whole set of North America.
I looked on eBay and saw a 2002 and 2003 CD set, but I wondered if they would work with my 2002 PCM system - or if they are just an older version with outdated maps.
On a US PCM, what is the combination to learn which version of software is installed?
If I have 2.0, and I buy the newer CD's with the 3.0 software, will it automatically upgrade?
Does anyone have a Nav CD, that they would be willing to post or send to me so I could burn my own?
Thanks,
Paul
I have been told that there is periodic up dates from the dealer for the nav system. I think this is for a new cd. I would think if you buy a older one, it wont have the newest info on it.
The car is a 02, is it still under warrantee? If it is I would take it in and complain it isnt working and see if they wont do a little free work.
Paul,

PCM System Navigation Map Software Release Vehicle Description
Navigation disks are available from NAVTECH. Their customer support number is [phone removed].
I had to spend the $140 to get my west coast disk. It's my understanding that this is supposed to include 1 upgrade, but I don't think Navteq is planning any upgrades for our version - so the free upgrade is worthless
I talked to the dealer again and they said I should call Navtech and order the upgrade. Before I do that I'm going to the dealer and "borrow" a Nav CD to make sure my unit is functioning correctly. Maybe I'll have them do a check to see if all my warranty items are up to date, etc.
Does anyone know if the CD's are "keyed" to the VIN of the car? I know when I had my 2000 BMW M5, folks shared the Nav updates as they were generic.
Thanks again, Paul
They are generic, not keyed to each vehicle. I lost mine and a "friend" sent me another one at the Cayenne board. I would send one, but I am currently in a place where I can't get to it. If you still don't have one if a few weeks, PM me and I will copy mine and send it to you. The Cayenne board will help...
