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.

Maybe I'm being stupid, but I can't find anywhere to put a postcode into the sat nav! All it will let me do is enter town, road etc. Do I need to upgrade the software? If so how do I do it. Thanks 2004 91 996 C4S convertible.
No, you aren't being stupid - there is no postcode entry on PCM 2.0.
Porsche have only just introduced full postcode.
If you have an iPhone get GPS Angel, this will give you Latitude and Longitude coordinates from postcodes that you can enter into your PCM.
Thank you Jon D. I've downloaded the app! Can't wait to use it now. Also thanks to all other responses.
Alternatively you can go on to streetmap and put in the post code which will also give you co-ordinates that you can then enter. That said , when I went to PC Swindon to view the new Cayman, using the post code/co-ordinate method, the Porsche Satnav wanted to take me past my destination.
Thats spooky, I had the new Cayman S out two weekends ago, punched in the postcode to the satnav and after a few miles it insisted I turn into a farmers field? Glad I never paid for it in my own car.
Navigation by post code is obviously an inexact science; for instance my post code has a range of seven house numbers. I find with the PCM if you enter country, town, street, number, it is very good, and helped me find the hotel I had booked into for the worker's conference.
Buy a Tom Tom (or similar)! [ ]
Having to enter a town into a Satnav system that has no full postcode entry is a joke. The number of times I've had to sit there and work out the town in Google maps before I stuck it into some ageing car SatNav! For that matter entering a street name is also a joke. So inefficient and laborious - on a £70k+ car? I've got free Apps that will do it, why can't Porsche?
When I got off the ferry in Rotterdam last year, I need to go north to Schiphol Airport to collect the wife. My sat nav insisted I go south to Zurich!!!! And kept insisting. I just ignored the dam thing and followed the North pointing arrow in the corner of the sat nav screen instead. The lady on the sat nav was nearly shouting at me!!!! Eventually it kicked in correctly after about 15klms. I was on the verge on getting the Tom Tom out of the glove box!
