PCM SW Version.... and such.
So, I was looking at what version of PCM I have since I was looking for a DVD Data DVD disc online. My current disc is all scratched up and it does not work.
Can someone look at these pics and tell me what version of PCM I have and why am I seeing those "Triangles" with "!" in it? My CD Changer, amp, and CD is working fine. Can someone help me understand what those version numbers mean so I can order the correct NAV Data DVD?
I am going to the Porsche dealer tomorrow to get the service message reset, so while I am there, if the PCM needs an update, I can possibly get it done when the vehicle is still under factory warranty.
Many thanks!

The good news is you have one of the latest 2.1 softwares so no update is needed. You just need the latest PCM2.1 software which I last years version I believe. Probably means your Pig is a '07 or '08??? I have the same versions in my '06 CTTS but I have a '08 PCM unit in mine.

Mine does the same with the Triangles, not sure why, my old one did too. There is a newer Nav disc out, a 2009/2010 disc. Porsche sells it with the new Software discs even if you don't need them, too bad you have to pay for something you won't need. Here is a link to Suncoast which is about the cheapest I've found, look around, maybe they've come down in price a little.

Just found it at Sonnen for $290 the part # is 95504490361
you will also need TSB 9110 with instructions on how to do the update which don't come with the Discs of course. I can send you a copy of it, one of the important things is to put your Cayenne on a battery charger when you do it or if you don't have a charger, start it and let it idle to guarantee no power interuptions.
hahnmgh@yahoo.com if you need the TSB.

No - the latest is from around 07/2009 or so (I'd have to take it out of my P!G to check the exact date.. but mid 2009 sounds about right.) I installed it back in June.

According to the service guy at the dealership yesterday, there is a 2010 disc and that may require me to upgrade PCM (I guess I need to upgrade to 'C' version). He did mention that I need those 3 CDs to do that.
About those "triangles", he suspected that the IPOD/Aux connection could be causing it. He said that the PCM had to be told of the Aux/Ipod connection.
I have a service scheduled for next Friday... to take care of the fuel pump recall and he said he will take a look at it at the same time.

I have the same software as you on mine and it will not take a further update so I think your good there as far as the '61' disc part goes. But if they make you buy the new Nav maps your going to get the new software discs anyways as dellenberger just alluded too. I have the factory (dealer installed) Ipod connection so maybe that is why I get the triangles too, although I can still scroll to them and open them up to get the software data so who knows. I wouldn't waste time at the dealer unless he is going to give you a big discount on the Discs and if you want I can still send you the TSB with the update instructions although I'm sure you have the latest already.

I will also update this thread on Friday if they were able to clear the "triangles".
