We had system installed today. 100% Automatic, put car in reverse and image appears on PCM. Full color and Zero issues. Well under a grand and was done at my office. Installer was Don McAllister from Orlando. Also now have full new menu on PCM which lets you adjust screen, gridlines etc.

I am a happy camper.

I really wanted a backup camera in my 2014 991 C4S. Did the install void your warranty? Do you know if it works with the front and rear sensors?

Richard_911

No opening of the PCM is required. So warranty should be no issue. Required PCM software version 4.6.3 to be 100% plug and play. Since we have 4.5.2 it took a bitter longer to install. We have front and rear sensor and the graphic overlays

Richard, it's not listed on their website (only Cayenne is listed). Is this new?

Richard_911

This is brand new. Works like a champ. I think it started shipping around the 22nd

Did you use the camera they sell or a different one?

Well, almost. This is actually a model / product that they offered the past several years for the Panamera and Cayenne, but only recently had a 991 available to install / test. The PCM3.1XG-CAM is what I believe the OP installed, along with the NAVTV camera that is offered....

I am planning a DIY on the install, once I get some free time! The installation is very straightforward, shouldn't be difficult for DIY types. Trickiest part is getting the PCM unit out of the dash so you can access the rear of the unit. But I've done that before and so shouldn't take long at all....

Only thing I am worried about is getting the wiring through the rear firewall.

Well, there are number of ways to do that, right? Also, even tho the quality may not be as high, you could go with a wireless camera at 2.4Ghz, taking power off the backup lights.... I've looked at a couple of wireless cameras, and honestly they are pretty good, IR and all!

Do you think you could post a pic or video of how it works when you put it in reverse?

Did I miss the web address? Please post.

great thread. Can you post pics of the camera on your car and screen shots of the display?

Hi Richard, I have a question, with your install do you see the picture of the car for the Park Distance feature? Also can you control the parking gridlines being displayed via the PCM?

Thanks,

Very interested to have this done as well. Can you pass along Don's contact info as I am also in NE FL
