What is the latest PCM 3.0 software version for 2009 997.2?
I brought mine in today for a yearly maintenance service + brake flush and was told there was an update for my PCM 3.0. After the update, it shows v1.44. When I was at the dealer, I checked out some of the 2011 models (GT3, Turbo, and Turbo S) and they show v2.22.
For those of you with an 2009 997.2, what version of software do you have on your PCM 3.0?

If you push INFO > Options > PCM Settings > Display > Software Version (or Version Info), it should show you.
Thanks Mike.
Forgot to mention that I don't have XM radio so don't know if that makes any difference. The other 2011 models I saw in the showroom, all have XM radio.

System Version: V
That's it. No numbers, just "V". Don't really have a clue what that refers to, whether its the letter V or a roman numeral 5 or..... I tried multiple ways to drill down further but no go. Maybe it's still at a factory default software load but V? So you started out with a question and now I have one.
BTW, I don't have XM either, FWIW.Sorry I couldn't be more help.

TooSixty, I followed your instructions (thanks) and found the info but it's very curious. Here is exactly what it shows:

Thanks TooSixty. I'm about 40 miles from my dealer. IYO, does the upgrade provide enough benefits to make it worth a special trip? Not that I'd really mind the drive anyway....

Thanks,
I've been looking for this information. I had my system updated a couple of weeks ago. My Droid X would pair but the phone book would periodically not show. The problem is still there but it's less frequent.
The system now shows 1.44.

Oh well. I'm due for my 2 year maintenance any day now -- so I'll be sure to ask again. Thanks for posting.

If it just says V, thats a blank version indicator and equates to V 1.0.0.
It may be v2.x.x is only for 2010 cars. (ie they don't want to test their latest software for compatibility with the 09.s as and they (Porsche AG) are wussing out on passing the latest software on to the possibly older hardware.
