Hi,
I have been on a several of journeys recently, in my 2006 Cayman S, that have been over two hours and my PCM turns its self off and resets itself after about two hours, then when it come back on it works for about 30 mins, then resets iteself, then 10 mins etc.
Eventually theres no point having it on.
If you touch the front, the screen it seems quite hot, so I'm not sure if its an overheating problem.
There are no error messages, the music stops, the screen goes blank then the white screen comes up with the Porsche logo.
Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone have any ideas what it could be?
Thanks

Hi, I'm new to the forum - I just picked up my Cayman S yesterday, but have a question on upgrading the Sat Nav system to the 2009 version as it currently has the 2005 software. Having read as much as possible on this, it seems that if this is not done correctly it can cause some significant problems!
I have 2 CD's and 1 DVD. From what I understand I need to load up CD2 in the PCM unit first (to upgrade the map software and Bose system?), then CD1 (updates PCM from version A to B?) and then the Nav DVD. Is this the case? Also do I leave in the current 2005 Nav disc whilst running the updated from CD2 & CD1?
Sorry if this has been covered before, but I couldn't find an example where the software versions matched mine and having read some quite worrying posts about bricking the unit, I thought it would be better to ask first.
My car is a 2006 Cayman S and the PCM software is as below.
Thanks in advance from your assistance!

I have removed the unit, but can't see or hear a fan. Where is the fan located?
