Default 981 PCM 3.1 version questions

My 2015 981 has PCM 3.1 w/ V 4.73, what is the most recently available update?
I would assume it would be included with the Navigation update? What is the most recent Nav update date?
Thanks

The latest update is V4.76 and I think 2019 on the map update.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how does one actually get PCM6 or PCM6.1?

I have OTA enabled and remote services, But says "no update available" when I tap on Update in the Settings menu.

I think the PCM version (mentioned as "3.1" by OP) is like the hardware version. Don't think you can change that.
The software/maps version can be upgraded, but as Jim981CS noted above v4.76 is the latest. I don't think there have been any new versions of that in a couple of years (not since I got my car anyway).

(Not sure what you mean by OTA and remote services.... I don't believe my 981 has anything like that.)

Sorry OTA means over the air. I thought maybe the PCM supported firmware updates over wireless without taking it to the shop.




My version info 👆. Just wondering if PCM 6 is available for the 2019. Guessing I have to take it to dealer to get it upgraded?

Not sure what version I'm running but the Spotify integration would be nice.

I have a 2013 Boxster S built in 2012. The PCM 3.1 version I have is 4.3.4. The PCM has Nav but no Jukebox. Can it be upgraded to 4.7.6?

Yes, I purchased an upgrade DVD to install 4.76 a few years ago, I think for around $20. It fixed some of the Bluetooth bugs I was experiencing. You may also be able to find the ISO online and burn a disc yourself.
