Yes the Sirius XM Adapter Cable comes with the kit (cable A in that photo). I'm not familiar with that hardware but assume there is separate hardware to purchase specific for Sirius/XM that will plug into that cable if you want to connect to it over GPS.

For what it's worth, I have a Sirius subscription and just run it over the iPhone app and play it through CarPlay (so using cellular data).

Double and triple checked the connections - all are tight and correct.

I have a Bose car so did not add the fiber optic loop - i tried it anyway with still no luck - i did not install the sirius antenna either.. Any one have ideas ?

Did you connect the existing Orange fiber to the control module that comes with the PCCM unit?

Yes, this is most likely your problem. Make sure you remove the little gray cover on the control module.

Does anyone have the navigation manual for the PCCM? I was able to download the user manual from the Porsche website but the navigation manual is not available there.

Keen on how this works also - looks a simpler and cleaner option than A pillar, Frunk etc

Anyone with a manual try adding a backup camera? If so does, the PCCM+ pick up the reverse signal automatically?

Thanks

FYI - When I initially tested the NAV after install, it couldn't find a GPS signal when I tested it while parked in my garage - it wasn't until I drove the car around a bit that the NAV started working.

New poster here but have been following the tread. Installed the PCCM+ successfully. But already found a HUGE bug. For those of you wanting the NAV, evidently Porsche only loaded the map with certain states. Texas and Oklahoma were not on the map. I confirmed with a second ssd card. I then when into the Maps section and version section and sure enough it is not loaded on the ssd card. Bummer.

It is basically TomTom data that they are using and it shows each version for each state in the map section. Surprisingly a ton of states are missing.

If you put the manual in reverse it doesn’t come up with the no camera symbol. There is mention earlier in the tread re how to trigger.

As far as I know, no one with a manual has been able to get it working yet.

No. Once it recognizes no camera it stays off.

I purchased and installed the PCCM Plus in my 2007 911 Turbo and there is a problem with the SD Navigation card or the unit it self. I had the new head unit professionally installed and it seems the Plus unit doesn't recognizes the SD card when inserted but when removed the unit claims the SD Card is in place, but when asked to proceed with the loading of maps, the loading process return a missing SD Card error.

At this point I'm on the phone with the dealer to determine next steps. If this is a problem with the unit, it wasn't Quality Tested enough. Fortunately, the Carplay navigation works fine.
