Will this part fit ?

Hi' Forum

I have been searching for a replacement for my 8Bit Navigation-cd reader for my PCM-1 so I can

use 2006 / 2007 cd's from Navtech - the old 8bit 2001 discs are pretty useless in my opinion.

I have found this unit for sale: 996.642.122.12 EWD (what does ewd stand for ?) from a 2002 porsche.

As far as I know this unit-serial is a 16Bit unit, can someone confirm this ?

- I have read that all units with serial 996.642.122.03 or more (04,05,06,07 +) are 16bit.

Will this work with my PCM1 unit in my car if I just replace the navigation-1DIN cd reader or do I need special 'porsche dealer' software ?

My Boxster is a 98' 2.5

Which tools do you need to remove the Navigation CD reader ?

The old NAV unit comes out by removing the two switch panels on either side of the NAV and then press on the two spring clamps on either side of the NAV unit and pull it out. Be carefully of the wires connected on the back as you pull it out.

Thank you Loren, that was exactly what I was looking for.

I hope the .12 EWD part fits my car, the company says the 'think' it does and offer me 30 days refund.

Thank you for the tip with the wires, I will be carefull .

Any tips on what EWD stand for ?

and any advice on the software upgrade to version 5.43 mentioned in Lorens link ? How do I upgrade it ?
