Default PCM1 Disc Needed

I'm hoping someone can help me. I have recently purchased a 2000 996 C2 with PCM. The car was from California and the previous owner only had disc 1 CA/NV. I live in MO so I need disc 3. I contacted my local dealer and he is unable to get the disc. I contacted NavTech and like others, I was told sorry they no longer support Porsche and do not have any NOS disc they can provide. I contacted PCNA and the girl I spoke with was very nice and tried to find a set of disc's for me but was unsuccessful.

I read a post some where that someone had their MY 2000 firmware updated to be able to use the last set of disc’s issued for PCM 1, the 2003.1 disc (PCM 1 7 disc set). I was able to find a 2003.1 disc on e-bay and my dealer thought they would be able to flash my firmware but they didn't have the firmware upgrade disc and have been unable to get a copy through PCNA.

So, does anyone have a set of 2001.1 disc's that they would be willing to part with or copy for me?

Here is the information from my PCM:

PCM SOFTWARE:
PCM/IDIS V5.44
NAVIGATION SOFTWARE:
VER.POIE612C
DATABASE:
dca1/18602621

The disc I have that reads and boots is a 2001-1


Thanks,

Dan

Are you willing to sell the California/Nevada disc for your 996? If so, please contact Jim Riley at Ril952@aol.com

Default sat nav discs for 996

I have one, but don't want to sell it. If they can be duplicated I'd be happy to help. I need the disc which covers California for my 996 Turbo 2001. Jim Riley at Ril952@aol.com

Please try duplicating your Porsche nav disc for California. I'll pay $300 for a disc that works - but please try it out in your car to be sure the duplicate works.

$300 for a disc with maps that are hopelessly out of date. I would rethink that if I was you. I know that it would be nice to have the navigation working but the system was lacking to begin with and now all the data is so old that it is almost useless. For less than $300 you can get a great GPS system, or even better use the one on a smart phone, which is constantly updated. IMHO
