How to tell if you have NAV


Recommended Posts

New owner of a used 997 Carrera 2. Equipmen t list said the car had NAV. Have not been able to find DVD unit, and the video unit says "Navigation system not available." Can a more experienced 997 owner help me out? (My previous Porsche, a 1975 just had Exxon maps in glove box.)

On new cars, dealers usually install the Nav DVD disc(s) upon delivery of vehicle to customer. On used vehicles, they typically remove NAV DVD disc(s) when the vehicles are on the lot and then reinstall when new owner takes delivery. Why? Updated DVDs fetch big $$$$ and therefore are prime theft targets...

Call the dealer and insist they give you the most updated DVD compatible w/ your hardware version. Make them install it too (at no charge) just in case the PCM needs re-flashed.

I just purchased a 2007 911 Turbo from out of state and when I turn the Nav on, it says it is rebooting. (It shows a segmented blue bar showing you where it is in the process. Only thing, the blue bar never moves).

When I hit "Map", all I get is the info and reading from where the car came from.

PS _ I didn't get any manuals with her, so I have no prodedures to follow.
