Navtech CD for Colorado - 2002 996 Carrera

[tdj2pulaski]

Would anyone know where or how to get a Navtech CD that would cover Colorado and whatever else? I checked with Suncoast and they could not help me. I need one compatible with the 2002 996 system. This is the PCM 1 system.

Thanks.

You may find one but it won't be up to date. Porsche stopped providing or contracting with NavTech to update the PCM1 disks years ago. Too bad Porsche did not continue to support the systems, but as far back as 2005 they stopped. And going directly to NavTech won't help as they have not updated the compatible disks independently. After market system in the dash in combo with a radio is one option. A couple of years ago I bought a Garmin GPS which is (was) great, but I don't bother updating that anymore ($60+ very year or so) as my cell phone has a Google GPS map that is basically updated everyday.

I have PCM1.0 and I'm running a 2010 disc from an Opel/Vauxhall.

The procedure is as follows; you first need the official Porsche 2002-1 CD as this contains a software update to the navi.

Second, you'll need the actually updated maps from a Vauxhal / Opel dealer or friend with them.

Disclaimer: I only know of these discs for europe and I myself only have the disc for Scandinavia. I'm not even sure Vauxhal has maps for the US, but someone else might be better qualified to answer these questions. (EDIT: I forgot; Richard Hamilton is on this board. He is by far the most qualified to answer these questions that I know of and helped me getting my setup running. Very helpful and friendly guy.)

And for the record; 2010 maps in the old PCM1.0 works well, but ANY current generation navi system will walk miles around it. But it works and now I allways have an updated, working navi with me :-).
