This is not a probability of success.

The CD based system from 2004, at least in the Cayenne, required changing CDs as you moved through regions of the country.

No those are separate, the ACC is simply a single button change on the normal AC unit which provides an auto-temp function.

We have PCM on our Boxster S, the system is very good & easy to use, need to spec the multi-changer the map memory range is about 30 miles before you have to reinsert the map disk.

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.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1Original post

I was thinking of adding PCM to my order but I've never spent time with the Porsche PCM system. Does anyone here have it on another Porsche and if so what can you tell me about it? How does it compare to Nav systems on say Infiniti/Nissan, Honda/Acura, Lexus, etc? There sure are a lot of buttons, does it get easier to use once you figure it out? For MP3 play (systems built this year on beyond) can it navigate the folder structure and does it provide song title, author, etc? For the Sport Chrono graphs, can you export those in any way? Anything else you would say that makes you like or dislike the PCM option? Thanks in advance!

POST 2Original post

I was thinking the same thing just because the screen looks so cool. But does PCM means that you have automatic climate control? I hate automatic climate control...

POST 3Original post

No those are separate, the ACC is simply a single button change on the normal AC unit which provides an auto-temp function. Stupid price on that option, ought to be standard...

POST 4Original post

We have PCM on our Boxster S, the system is very good & easy to use, need to spec the multi-changer the map memory range is about 30 miles before you have to reinsert the map disk. The price is high, we are not sure if we are going to spec it on the Cayman S, in our 2nd car we use portable NavMan Sat nav & it is as good as the Porsche PCM system. One major plus that PCM has is when specked with the Sport crono the display will show graphs, times & other data. regards Rod

POST 5Original post

Rod, I'm not sure I understand the part about re-inserting the map disk? Isn't the entire country on one DVD now? As for showing the Sport Chrono graphs, is there a way to export those graphs to a file or printer somehow?

POST 6Original post

Porsche upgraded the PCM Navigation Module to a DVD based system during 2005. The CD based system from 2004, at least in the Cayenne, required changing CDs as you moved through regions of the country. This is not an issue with the Navigation units in our 2006 Caymans. JHellow

POST 7Original post

JHellow many thanks for the update, dont need to order multichanger now. K-Man S, the transfer of data, good question, is the new PCM Bluethooth?, I need the answer to this question, regards

POST 8Original post

No bluetooth. Bummer. However, if you get the phone module for PCM, you can swap your sim card in and out of the car. There is a retractable slot below the key pad to do this. The phone is hands free in that, if you also get the multifunction wheel, you can work the phone and your address book off the PCM display.. JHellow

Trick out your PCM withbackup cameraand DVD? http://www.tvandnav2go.com/porsche-navigation-system.html

POST 10Original post

mpollard, That is nice, and I would love to have DVD / TV, do not need NAV here in the Islands. We have a simple formula, water on the left your going SE, water on the right, your going NW. Pretty hard to ever goet lost. Russ
