PCM3.1 – Navigation Update (data status: model year 2016)

Concern:

New maps with data status: model year 2016 (G)

Model Year:

As of 2014 up to 2016

Precondition:

The following are necessary so that the new navigation data can be stored on the PCM3.1 hard drive:
System version 3.42/4.521 on PCM3.1. If not: Update PCM3.1 using system software PCM3.1
Multimedia Update Disk (supplied).
License key (supplied) in order to generate the enabling code in the PIWIS information system
The relevant workshop DVD (for Part Nos., see Workshop DVD).

Ordering
process:

Depending on the current system version, PCM3.1 is updated either to system version 3.42 or 4.52
using the system software PCM3.1 Multimedia Update Disk.

ONLY for storing an additional navigation database:
If additional navigation data (e.g. America) is to be stored instead of the standard navigation data (e.g.
Europe = I-no. 610), the relevant additional equipment number (e.g. I-no. 615 = Software Navigation
North America) must be assigned to the vehicle.
You can get Porsche to assign this number by providing the following data:
•
•
•

Part number of retrofit kit
Vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle to be converted
Order number used for ordering parts

IMPORTANT:
If you do not have the necessary data or if the data you have is incorrect, you CANNOT generate the
PCM navigation map material enabling code yourself using the supplied license key.
Once the order is confirmed, the additional equipment number can be found in the vehicle information
for the vehicle to be converted in the PIWIS information system in the Porsche Partner Network (PPN).

Information
Opening the package and saving the navigation data to PCM implies acceptance of the terms and
conditions of the license.
