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.

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

Hi. I'm new here. I have a question about GPS antennas. For use with the OEM PCM2 unit, is the only GPS antenna that would work (and can be installed in the OEM location) the OEM Porsche GPS antenna? Can an aftermarket antenna work just as well and, if so, can they be installed the same place OEM antennas are installed? If aftermarket (cheaper) antennas work OK, are there any recommendations as to which one is best? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I have known others who have tried to fit a non- Porsche GPS antenna but the issue is the connector at the back of the PCM . The Porsche parts you require are: PCM Connecting lead (the anntena extension cable) - 996 612 009 00 - $29 GPS Antenna - 996 642 206 00 - $104 The GPS antenna cable is quite short, hence the need for the extension cable. The antenna itself mounts under the plastic housing that surrounds the 'flashing' alarm armed indicator that sits in the middle of the car just behind the front windscreen.

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