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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone recently bought or sold a PCM2 unit without SatNav. I am looking to try and establish a fair price for a second hand unit (996.642.214.05) which I appreciate is a subjective matter. Doubt I would add the SatNav but would be handy to control my iPod through the Dension I have installed and can ditch the CD storage which is not used. I presume that they are a relatively straight forward upgrade and install to my CDR23. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Word of warning - my PCM2 is faulty and was told by my inde that can't use one off another car - must get new/recon unit from Porsche.......perhaps someone could verify if this is correct??

POST 3Original post

I have changed PCM without any problems. I have a spare Unit that I bought from ebay Germay that is only in german and will not change language and I do not want to risk selling to anyone. But I will use for spare parts. What part is not working.

POST 4Original post

In answer to the first posting. The cost of the retro fit parts is around £100, it took me about 2 hours to fit. All the instructions can be found on Renntech. Expect to pay between £650-850 for PCM with sat module. If you do not have the bose amp a better option is fitting the Pioneer or Kenwood system.

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