997 Navigation Vs. Extended Navigation?

[Dale Zelinsky]

Are the differences between the 997 Navigation and Extended Navigation System software or hardware based?

(e.g. If I purchase a 997 with the regular Nav can I upgrade to the Extended nav via software?)

Thanks!

It is a software upgrade and can be done by an OPC. An interesting fact is that from Aug 07 production all PCM systems will come with Extended Nav as standard.

I thought it was an additional module on the PCM also?

No extra module just a software enable (see link below)

TSB for Extended Nav

Thanks for the information. Any idea on cost?

No more than 10 minutes work without a test drive. But Porsche allows the dealer 40 minutes without and 70 minutes with.

Half a shirt or a full shirt off your back..... check your dealers hourly rates.

Part is about $186 from sunset.

Install cost ?

You shouldn't be charged more than 1 hour 10 minutes labor (according to the TSB).
