Hi Folks,

A question on PCM3.0. I have an 997.2 that has Navi option, however, its with UK Maps. How can I get ASIAN Maps since I live here . I guess I dont need "codes" as the car is enabled with Navi, just no local maps.

Many Thanks

 

I believe the dealer would need to load it on the pcm, or you would need to purchase the dvd and do it your self. I haven't done one yet so I'm not certain.

 

Do you know any online / shops to purchase the DVD ? Any recommendation ?

 

Ebay has a lot of them IMHO.

 

The 997.2 is hard drive based.. so the data is on the hard disk. How how it gets there I don't know. Porsche may have a way of loading the data from a CD, or it may get uploaded by the PIWIS computer at a dealer, or may require the installation of a new hard drive as they come preloaded.

You almost certainly have to go to your closest dealer in your region and find out from them how to accomplish it.

 

your located in singapore?

im located in taiwan, rencently picked up a 09 C2, they don't have a map in taiwan apparently. (but i was told they did, but its very...not usefull at all.like..youll go on the highway..and suddenly no roads wil show up)

if u find one for asia, let me know! thankss

 

Yup, I am in Singapore. I am trying to find and willing to purchase the MAP DVD for ASIA, at least Singapore/Malaysia/Thailand. So far I can't find any but will continue searching. Let's keep in touch and exchange info if we can find one. . he question now is can we install ourselves or we need to get a dealer to do ? Do we need 'activation' of some sort ? PCM3.0 is HDD based, somewhat diff from previous PCM.

 

YEOKPD, yes we should!
ill let you know if i got more info.
i didnt know it was HDD...i thought these things were always CD based..

i think dealer needs to do this.
my dealer also.suggested..if i reali wanted navi...i can always replace the system with another..brand..which has everything but that wont be porsche pcm, i believe...... which i dun wanna replace. i like the original things.

 

Same here, orginal looks most "clean". Keep in touch then. My email is yang2103@yahoo.com.sg. Send me an email so I have your email address too !
