Default PCM 2.0 Dead

My PCM 2.0 Nav HU has been dead since I picked it up from the Port. Fuse is good - any thoughts. The car is CPO but I don't mind getting my hands dirty...

I did not realize it was so wasy to remove the PCM! I replaced the fuse and now the nav works but it is not registering the cd changer and the amp. Is there another fuse that I should be checking?

Off topic - but does Porsche recognize the US CPO in Germany? Logic would dictate ...

Yes but it only one year vice 2 in the states. Where ever the car is the country that the service is provided is the policy that pervails.

I'd bring it in for service but I'm off on a three week trip. The sunroof also need to be worked on. I've only had the car a week and driving it is far more important!

I found one and replaced that one - did not even think to look for a second! I guess she will come out again!
