What is the most recent release with Porsche part number for the PCM DVD Nav?

What version is part number:
997-642-257-05
7L5979859BE

 

I have Part # 998.642.257.04 . If your car is 2005/2006 you'll need an firmware upgrade. Porsche charges 2 hours worth of labor for tha 10 minute do it yourself if you have the CD.

If you need either, contact me, I can help!

 

does this allow you to watch dvd on your nav screen?

 

I have the latest software and still can't play dvds

 

no it wont allow you to play movie DVD's through the system, i believe that feature is disabled on non european production cars.

 

isnt thier a way to enable it, i know with mercedes thier is..

 

SLP, I have a 2005 CTT and I damaged the DVD. Is the part you have what I need to get the NAV working? If so, I am interested.

 

paulcw, do you need the dvd disk or the dvd drive?

 

I damaged the disk. The drive, as far as I know, is fine.

 

I can sell you the nav dvd for 40 bucks if you want, for north america. PM me if interested

 

Yup I can definitely help you, I have both the DVD and the DVD update for 2005/2006 so that they can play all the newer navigation DVD's. Any 2006+ DVD that Porsche makes will not be compatible with a 2005/2006 car unless it gets the upgraded software--which I have the disc for.

would youi consider sending a copy of the upgrade CD to london, porsche want 1200 dollars to do this which i personally feel is pretty extreme, cost incurred would obviously be reimbursed. I tried mailing you but need a few more post before i can do so.
cheers

Yup, I'd definitely be willing to help you. I replied you email, should you want to email me direct do it at SLP01005@aol.com.

As I said though, once you upgrade the firmware you will not be able to use your 2005 and previous DVD in the car, only 2006 and newer. And it works the same...that if your 2005 DVD works in your car, a 2006 or above would not without the update.

 

what ar the differences between the older 05 and upgraded 06 versions besides updated street names, etc

 

the updated version has more Points of Interest (POI) and more street names, more details on the map, and the upgrade in firmware upgrades the firmware to play newer DVD's as well as upgrades glitches in the PCM and enhances the Bose amplifier.

It made a huge difference from me going from a 05 to 06 names, now gas stations and such that i search for when im going on my trips actually exist where they say they do! and streets are much better and my house is finally on the correct side of the street with this newer dvd!
