Does anyone know what is involved with the compass and off-road module for the PCM? Is it software (disc) installed or is it something a dealer has to do??

My PCM had these items BEFORE my dealer replaced the PCM and now those options are gone...

 

my truck didnt have the compass display so i had the dealer add it. No problem. I believe it has to do with the programming

 

as i know, to activate off-road navigation & compass, you must request special code from manufacturer (through dealer) for your cayenne. It cost about 180 euro for off-road, and 110 euro for compass (in Europe).

This code entering in special menu on diagnostic computer (piwis)

 

How much was the compass option? How did they add it just software?

 

i think it 250 but i have to look up the receipt to be sure

 

i might have it done, a buddy of mine has a 07 suburban (not to go into chevys) and he says he finds it every useful.

Thanks i will talk to my dealer

 

Thanks! My CTT had these options when the car was purchased so the dealer will need to find the codes to get it up and running as it was before they replaced the PCM. Thanks for the inputs!

 

Old thread - but wondered how it went with adding the compass/ off-road option.

I want to add the compass (I hate seeing the screen on the left empty / plus the dealer advertised it as coming with the compass; though now says, "oh there is a compass on the GPS. Just always have the map showing.")
I've told the dealer that the compass was important to me and that I want it installed, activated, or whatever it takes. He's now telling me it's not even possible - which obviously isn't true.

Is it just an activation thing? Or does it require hardware?

Any thoughts on how to get it working?

Thanks

 

Damon is looking it up for you and will call you back today. I believe it is in the $200 range with the labor for the tech to go into it with the diagnostic tester.

 

Awesome.. got it scheduled all ready.

Thanks!

 

Good, I am glad to hear that.

 

fill us up after you're done

 

I just use the compass on the map. You have to look down anyway just look down and to the right.

 

Save 200 bucks too!

 

why do you have to look down? It shows in the instrument cluster.. ?
