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.

Dynamic route is available and i understand reading the Manuel this uses TMC to calculate the route.

The info is typically delayed so the "dynamic routing" function that uses TMC isn't always sensible.

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

Having looked at the PCM Manuel i see that you can select TMC-ALL or TMC-route, looking in the car they seem not to appear. Dynamic route is available and i understand reading the Manuel this uses TMC to calculate the route. As i had to ask for the Manuel as it did not come with the car does this mean TMC is only available on certain Years?[8|]

POST 2Original post

What year/model is your car? Are you sure that's the correct manual they have given you? If you have a 996 then you will have PCM1 or PCM2.0, neither of which have TMC as far as I know. Later versions of PCM2.1 (fitted to the 997) have TMC, so it sounds like you have the wrong manual.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the reply. The car is a 2003,996 so i guess that the Manuel is incorrect.

POST 4Original post

You can download a copy of the PCM2 manual from Becker USA's web site, or the FAQ pages of this forum for PCGB members [ ] [ ]: http://www.beckerautosound.com/Porsche/Porsche%20Menu.html http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/fb.asp?m=293052

POST 5Original post

As far as i know, the PCM2 is TMC enabled but the cd's supplied by Porsche didn't include the TMC codes for the UK... Theoretically, if an updated CD was produced including the codes, then you'd have the TMC functionality as well... While it can be of use on long journeys (for major traffic problems), i think its a bit overrated. The info is typically delayed so the "dynamic routing" function that uses TMC isn't always sensible. Just my 2p!
