PCM 3.1 does not mean software version. I mean that you need PCM 3.1 not CDR 3.1 or not new PCM 4. (If you asking about version, i think it should not matter as long as you have PCM 3.1 with navigation)

Yeah i have read. Thanks
p.s regarding front camera, it is used for signs recognition only that why it is on the back of rear mirror.

All of these nice camera options all wind up saying that you need PCM3.1 AND software version 4.43 or something close to that. Early model 2013 981 have PCM3.1 but a version that can’t go beyond software version 3.43.
Got harness today. Express shipping took 2 days from malaysia to europe.
Total price was: $218 (harness only $150)
Tomorrow install.
As i was instructed i need to connect 4 cables, program and ready to go.

That is correct. I own such a '13 Boxster, w/ Nav, PCM 3.1, but software in the 3.y range. One way to notice this, I do not have the jukebox music feature...

Please take and post photos as you go of the process needed to remove each trim panel. If I ever embark on this journey I'd like to remove as few pieces as possible and break the minimal number of panels and clips.

Thanks to all for the comments and interest into this project!
Yesterday evening I have left car at the shop.
Due weekend they will start work only at Monday.
Usually i do all install by my own, but this time I am not gonna do it as i am lazy as F** )
I thought I would chime in. I installed the MaxSpeed camera last month. I love it. It makes driving in reverse 10x better.
For me, the hardest part was finding someone to do the PCM coding. If you are in Northern VA, the guy at Autobahn in Fairfax can do the coding for you. Although I see that max speed is now offering a loaner tool to do the coding for you.
The installation of the camera was not that difficult. It wasn't even that time consuming.
The instructions could have been a little clearer regarding removal of some of the trim pieces though.

Works as described in the advertising?
What model car did you install in?
Any details regarding the removal of the trim pieces you could offer to assist the next guy?

My bet is there is a module required that he didn't source. Most kits I've seen require a little black box in between the camera and the PCM and this poster only had the camera and harness (and a few brackets) in his bag of tricks. Still hopeful, though, because this would really be a nice add if it works.
