Dear Community Members,

Has any navigation DVD updates for PCM 2.1 been issued since the last post?

Did you know that Porsche have just released a new map for the PCM 1, can you believe it PCM 1!!!

PCM1 Update

WoW!

I'm going to wait for Episode 10 - Porche Navigation DVD Update: A new hope...

Thanks for the post, but this is already common knowledge and i've discussed it a number of times on other threads.

I didn't write that this post is new. For new user it's more usefull to see standalone post than dig in long ones... Anyway that's just my opinion.

The map data is in fact 2006 on the DVD , so its actually even more outdated.

Why are you so sure about it? The files on 05.2007 (08.2007) DVD are dated year 2007 (of cource it's not explanation of my point)...

You may be interested to add your votes to the poll I started , as a means of getting Porsche to release a newer update.

I have already voted in your poll, but I think that Porche staff does not read it.

I'm happy to join a NEW NAVIGATION DVD WANTED team!

Hello Dear Community Members!

Please have a look on these two Navigation-DVD's for Europe:

The former has been supplied with my car and the latter is the part of "997 044 901 50" Porsche Multipack 08/2007 EU PCM 2.1 (911, Boxter, Cayman) update kit. The total binary comparsion of these two DVD's, recently done by me, showed that they are absolutely 100% identical !!!.

Conclusion: by the time of this post the latest date of Navigation-DVD Europe is 05.2007.

Warning: Dear Users of Navigation-DVD Europe 05.2007, don't spend your money to buy "997 044 901 50" Porsche Multipack 08/2007 EU PCM 2.1 (911, Boxter, Cayman) update kit in order to make an update of your current navigation map. The update kit does not contain any new map and POIs although it's dated 08.2007...

Thank you!

Country specific information: Europe

I've ordered "997 044 901 50" Porsche Multipack 08/2007 EU PCM 2.1 (911, Boxter, Cayman) update kit, which constit of:

- PCM 2.1 DVD-Navigation Europe 08.2007

- PCM 2.1 Multimedia Update CD Navigaiton MY08

- PCM 2.1 Multimedia Update CD 1 911 Boxter Cayman

- PCM 2.1 Multimedia Update CD 2 911 Boxter Cayman

Also the kit included the following printed note: "System CD's are not mean for the customer. Only the dealer is authorized to install the new software. Installation instructions are available in Tls. (cm9297, b79307, c79327, cy9317)"

When I asked my dealer to make an update, a technician spent about an hour inserting/ejecting the discs in different orders both in PCM CD slot and in Navigaiton DVD reader. Finnaly he's got really confused (a charated of face) and stated to me that the update is successfully installed. However I didn't trust him and asked has he read the installation instructions recomended in the informative note. He answered that doesn't even has them.

So I decided to make an update by my own. Having read various PCM update troubles in the forum I decided to ask two main questions before making something.

1) If somebody has an access to Tls. (cm9297, b79307, c79327, cy9317), could you share these documents with me please.

2) As I understood a navigation map is stored in cache in PCM's memory. I think so because even if I eject navigation DVD at all from reader I still have and can use a map. So is there any way to clear this cache and fill it with new DVD-Navigation Europe 08.2007 content?

Thanks you in advance for competent help and support!
