Situation:
Installation Instructions

Information:
The Porsche Communication Management system (PCM). With an integrated CD-ROM drive for audio CDs, 5.8.inch screen with a 16:9 split setting for sharp image display and an external DVD navigation unit. The satellite-guided GPS navigation system with a separate antenna determines your location and works out the route as well as possible alternative routes using TMC (Traffic Message Channel) in countries in which this service is supported. The integrated radio has an FM double tuner with RDS diversity and provides 20 UKW as well as 20 MW memory locations. The MP3-capable CD drive in the PCM system can be used permanently as a purely audio CD drive thanks to the separate DVD navigation drive. The PCM system comes with a DVD containing the extensive map material.

Antenna diversity is not a component of retrofitting the PCM including navigation module.

Before ordering parts (navigation module and optical waveguide), always check and consider the existing vehicle equipment!

For PCM2.1 units retrofitted to vehicles with a previously installed CDR23/24:

Once the PCM unit is installed in these vehicles, there will be a fault 8017 stored in the PCM Gateway. The fault is stored because vehicles built with CDR23/24 do not have the diversity antenna system, and vehicles that came from the factory with PCM do have the diversity system. Note that customers will probably never see any warning light or other indication that this code is stored, but technicians completing this retrofit will see the fault code stored afterwards and might therefore become concerned.





The retrofit kit can only be returned if the software package is sealed.
