  1. IRA_Engunere started following PCM 2.1 Wiring Diagram and Updating the Map Data for PCM 2.1

    I'm curious if anyone on this forum has any experience with map databases and would be interested in helping me create a new map DVD for the PCM 2.1. I have the 2006 and 2015 PCM 2.1 DVDs for reference. Looks like the map data was provided by Navteq (no longer in business) but the map and POI data doesn't appear to conform to their published format. Seems like it would be possible to purchase generic map and POI data and format it for the PCM 2.1. For the record -- I'm not interested in changing my PCM out for an Android system, I don't want to use the new PCCM+, and I've already installed a Bluetooth interface so please don't propose those "solutions" in this thread. We can discuss the various trade-offs of these workarounds in another thread. Thanks in advance!

    I have a 2008 CGTS with PCM 2.1. Anyone have a wIring diagram for this model PCM? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Dave T: Did you ever replace these seals (#6 in illustration)? Any issues during the R&R? Did the new seals fix the leak? I have a 2008 CGTS with oil seepage in the same general area. It seems like it would be relatively easy to replace these seal, but you never know with a P-Car. Thanks, JSConway

    Does you car start with the "pill" only key? My guess is the the "pill" contains the RFID needed to start the car and the board contains the transmitter for the remote control functions (door and boot locks). Both need to be programmed into the car's DME. The PET does not show a replacement board, only the replacement key head. Not sure about aftermarket boards. No way to know if a used board will be functional or programmable. My suggestion is buy an OEM replacement key head from a discount (online) Porsche dealer or parts house then take the new key head and the old key to your local dealer for programming.

    The RFID transponder "pill" looked fragile, so I swapped boards between the working and reflowed fobs. I repeated the various reset procedures but the reflowed board still did not unlock the car. While the good board was out of the fob, I was able to lock and unlock the car while it was 20+ feet away from the transponder "pill", so it doesn't seem that the remote board and RFID transponder interact once the remote is paired to the car. Thanks for the suggestion; now I feel I've tried everything I could. I'll order a new key fob and take both the new fob and the reflowed fob to the dealer for programming. (BTW, I found a code tag in the owner's manual so hopefully it matches the reflowed key fob). Thanks again!

    I recently purchased a one-owner (making it a two-owner) 2004 996 C2S Coupe. It came with two 2-button key fobs (one working and one non-working) and a valet key. Per other posts on this topic, I took both fobs to the local auto parts store and tried them out on the remote tester. The tester responded to the working fob (good to know) but not to the non-working fob. I followed the solder reflow directions in the referenced post. Then I took the reflowed fob to the parts store and sure enough it is now transmitting. So the reflow process works - thanks for the great post! However, the car still does not respond to the reflowed and now transmitting key fob. I've tried everything I can find to reconnect this remote to the car myself, including: pressing the button while the key is in the door lock, pressing the button while the key is in the ignition, variations of both of the proceeding, and reversing the battery to reset the key fob code count. Short of going to the dealer, are there any other procedures I can try to reconnect this key fob remote to the car? Thanks in advance, Jerry
