Updating Porsche Navigation for a 2005 996 Porsche Turbo
67427 replied to 67427's topic in 996 TT, 996 TT S, 996 GT2
thanks. yes I mean that the instructions for the updated maps tell you that you must be running PCM2 firmware Version 3.0 and tell you how to check, it, "Press map and (something else which now escapes me) to determine version" and you must be running version 3.0 for the system to work with the updated maps. I checked and I am running that version of the software so I am ready to run the upgrade maps for my section of the country, and was not sure if I needed to do something else other than just putting in the appropriate CD for my section of the country. -
This system uses the CD system and I got the and one and only update from Porsche numbered 000.044.901.21. I am running the upgraded 3.0 system as required. What I do not know is whether I just can update the system by running the appropriate CD for my geographical area. I am in Florida so I am using CD #4 (it comes with 7 or 8 CDs including Brazil). I have read in this forum that it is as simple as just running the CD and that is it. Yes I also know that there are much better portable systems out there, but this is not about Navigagtion, but having the most complete Porsche (since I may keep it for years). thks

Last 2005 Turbo S Cabriolet produced?
67427 replied to beckmann93's topic in 996 TT, 996 TT S, 996 GT2
I do not have an answer but my cab was made just a few hundred units before yours, and I am also curious. -
Hello, I am a new Porsche owner (2005 911 TT S Cab, Cobalt blue with 25+k miles), and was looking for tail light units (not the LED bulb replacements) which have built in LED, but the ones that I have seen in Ebay, even though they are listed for this model, only fit a 997 chassis upon inquiry. Does anyone have any suggestions? The next question is prety embarrassing because I consider myself a careful owner and have read all manuals of all cars I own, but I just read the owner's manuals (the Turbo manual and the PCM stand alone manual), even one for a 911 Carrera, and they either are silent (or of course I have missed it), or refer me to the trunk compartment to load the navigation DVD which came with the car (one for the whole US and I am in South Florida?) but I cannot find a drive/reader except the one in the PCM itself which does not appear to work. Any comments? Do I have to dig in the trunk trimmings till I find it? Finally, is there any whay, other than changing the PCM factory unit (which I do not want to do since I try to keep all of my cars factory), to install an IPOD and/or a phone? In the Ferrari 360 if you disable the CD changer, you can connect an IPOD adapter and play the IPOD through the CD changer connection of the Becker radio. No phone. Thanks for the help, great forum by the way (I have been reading the postings before joining).
