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.

Suggestion

I bought all the nav stuff separately as well, the disc, the GPS antenna and all the wiring harnesses but I just can't see me using/needing it so I'll probably sell that stuff on as a nav package but keep the PCM so that I can get my ipod installed.

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

One of the only options I really cared for on the Cayman was the PCM, and I was not able to find a bare bone Cayman with PCM. Is it possible to have the dealer install a factory PCM in my Cayman after it has been built? Has anyone here considered or even done that? Is there any other cheaper alternatives to have the PCM installed by the dealer? ( I really don't want to have another one of those stand alone units, as I feel they are not as aesthetically pleasing to the/my eyes) Thanks

POST 2Original post

i think i've seen somewhere that the OEM PCM couldn't be done. not 100% sure

POST 3Original post

Yes, we talked about it in this thread http://www.planet-9.com/showthread.php?t=6392&highlight=pcm+installed and others. The long and short of it is that it will cost $3700 for parts and $1000 for labor. There are places that will do xm with that too.

POST 4Original post

Thanks.... I'll look into the other thread... but $4,700 seems way too expensive.

POST 5Original post

I'm going to be doing an install article on this shortly so that will save you some $$$ right there, and you can source the parts for less if you try hard enough.

POST 6Original post

Wow.....Thanks Guys.....!!! :dance: will be looking for your article

POST 7Original post

PCM - dealer I orderd my car with PCM upfront and it was additional $3000, OK. Friend of mine wanted it after he has received his car and asked the dealir that he missed this option and would lime to put it in now. Dealer replied as yes it is possible but price will go up to $10000 as many other things that follow need to be instaled along with PCM unit. Obviously my friend did not need to think further. You might be better off with your dealer... GOOD LUCK

POST 9Original post

I can't wait to see your write up. I have the PCM, I just need to do some installing. Gmorat.

POST 10Original post

Gmorat... where did you get your PCM Unit...?? how much was it? any recommendations on where I can get it for a more reasonable price than what the dealer is asking for?

POST 11Original post

Hey. I bought it on Ebay with the Nav drive for $1600 on Ebay. It isn't an exact match as far as the serial number goes but I'm told that it should work. I bought all the nav stuff separately as well, the disc, the GPS antenna and all the wiring harnesses but I just can't see me using/needing it so I'll probably sell that stuff on as a nav package but keep the PCM so that I can get my ipod installed. If you haven't ordered your car yet my recommendation is that you get it installed if you think that you may like it as its a PITA to sort this crap out later. G.

POST 12Original post

I had the PCM retrofitted to my Cayman S . $3700 for PCM from Suncoast , $700 installation at my dealer. It seems to work fine, except that the adjustments to rear wiper and lights do not appear. Perhaps I need updated software- I am going to ask my dealer.
