Change History

OK.. So I could not stand to pay what the Dealer was asking for the updated maps for my 2006 987S PCM 2.1.It was going to be almost 600 CND$ - 369 plus 2 Hrs installation fee??

Thanks to Roger he stated the updates were substantial enough ...even in the east coast. I solicited 2 close to me Porsche Dealers and both of them had the upgrade discs at $369 and one at $368, however one dealer stated that they needed 2 hrs of installation time and the other stated like Roger, I needed only the disc swap.

What to do...so many conflicts:X

After searching many forums I found a website that offered the 5 disc set for $182 CND including shipping.($120 US Funds)

www.carsnavigation.com

After investigating it seemed to be legit. What the heck... I placed my order and immediately got an email confirming my purchase and the tracking # that would be used....good so far. I found out that it was being shipped from Bosnia?

I received my package about 5 days later(tu)

It contained 5 discs.

1) PCM 2.1 Multimedia Update CD 1 911 Boxster Cayman
2) PCM 2.1 Multimedia Update CD 1 911 Boxster Cayman
3) PCM 2.1 Multimedia Update CD Cayenne
4) PCM 2.1 Multimedia Update CD Navigation
5) 2013 PCM DVD- Navigation North America

No Instructions supplied...so I just swapped the navigation update DVD. (item # 5)

Did it work -- NO!! The DVD was unreadable...so I am thinking ..do I have rev B or not. I was 90% sure I did after check my PCM setting by hitting "Main and Trip" and coming off with at least :

"05024XXX"

I email my contact in Bosnia...They left an email for any issues. He stated (it took him 5 min to reply on a Saturday night) to follow the direction that were sent:S....none were sent though..He sent them to me in about a minute...great service...I love Bosnia:D

After reading the instructions I needed to install disc # 4 first and follow the procedure...then install the map DVD.

Did it work...NO:X

I sent more emails later Saturday night...Sunday Bosnia time with as expected no reply.

I tried the procedure many more times though the wee hours of the night...and nothing doin:X

After a nice eggs and sausage breakfast I decided to try again....didn't work. You must remember.. I could not go back to my old DVD because I installed the Nav update CD # 4 above.

I checked the DVD and it had been handled many times...time for a good alcohol cleaning I thought.

One more time...It workedX( I guess I must have smudged it up bad enough :S

Life is good again...Nice updates!!!
