Porsche could not identify source of PCM failure , but have surprisingly replaced PCM unit and BOSE amplifier at no cost. Needless to say , I am extremely happy with Porsche NA. My car is 3 years out of warranty.

I have been to an authorized Porsche dealer service center , run a full diagnostic and say a full replacement is needed. Either a new PCM or an aftermarket unit.

I've had intermittent problems with PCM on my 06 Boxster S over the last 18 months , system cuts out and occasionally reboots itself.

Porsche diagnosis is PCM unit needs to be replaced, very costly since I'm out of warranty.

Today I received this message:

SYSTEM FAILURE -

PHONE, AMPLIFIER, NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND CD CHANGER ALL UNAVAILABLE.

So it appears my audio , nav and phone are dead. The car itself runs great , I am the original owner.

Anyone here have any similar issue or suggestions.

Thanks ...

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I'm thinking the big red exclamation points are not a good thing...

I just updated my PCM/NAV to 2.1B tonight and got the exclamation points as well.

So far, I have not been able to play an MP3 CD, nor have I found the new NAV functions (browse by ZIP code, etc.)

Is there any tutorial on the web for PCM are any DVD instruction.

My head is spinning from the PCM manual.PCM doers not appear intuitive.

Can anyone enlighten me on what this mp3 playing function is.

I have mp3 files , a cd burner , Itunes and an ipod ,but am unfamiliar on how to utilize this function in pcm.Do I have to burn mp3 files on a disk?

I am told that a disk can hold hundreds of files ?How do I do this?

Easy. Create the playlist that you wish to burn. Go to Itunes>Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Burning and select MP3 CD. See attached image.

Then burn. ;-)

Do i need to use a different type of disk , thanks for the tutorial....
