I have a Boxster S 987 fev 2005 and experimenting more or less same issue . I d like to share with you my latest investigations and conlusions, might help. My PCM do not read (yet I hope..) MP3 . A friend of mine, having exactly the same boxster could read MP3 and WMA after an upgrade . The upgrade was done with "PCM 2.1 Europe October 06 Nav DVD ". When I inserted this DVD in my boxster, the DVD was rejected with a message on the PCM : incompatible DVD . So we came to the conclusion that, I have a PCM 2.0 ( or 2.5, 1.0 , 0.5 who knows...???) and that there is a major change in the HW that make DVD incompatible. One dealer, after a lot of time and investigation (thx to him) told me there is an upgrade path from PCM 2.0. He confirmed that this would make TMC works (which is also an issue) but was not sure about MP3. He is investigating with Stuttgard. So for me PCM 2.0 was discontinued between fev 05 and July 05 (confirmed by Porsche : new model with new equipment arrive middel of the year) . PCM 2.1 can read MP3 after upgrade when necessary. I still have this question : how can I be sure I have a PCM 2.0 Also how can I get the serial number of the PCM ? Loren, your help will be very much appreciated :)
