PCM 2.0 Nav Update (CD Based)

For those who have 04/05 MY PCM 2.0 units (CD Nav).

I just got the new map updates and installed them.

There are now 7 CD's covering the US, Canada Mexico and Brazil. I really need to travel more.

There is one update CD which seems phone related, at least when inserted it does a phone update to my non-phone PCM, a bit like being able to play the violin after getting a tooth out.

This completes quickly, you then insert whatever map CD you normally use and it carries out the update. You need to run the engine as there have been published warnings of not trying to update when power may be lost.

I think this release may not have been voluntary, a little bird told me.

From what I can tell my local roads seem more detailed and PIO is more usable with even local food stores now showing up together with a nearby vin yard.

Here is the rub....... $299 plus tax, I got mine from the great guys at Sunset Imports

Look out for dealers trying to sell for more than $500 (seriously)

Part number is 000.044.901.21

Just so folks know the MSRP is $299.00

I received the same box with that part number on it from my dealer. I insterted the update cd marked cayenne and nothing happened....?? Do I need to somehow command the PCM unit to read the update? THANKS!

what version of PCM software is on your system ?

Hit home and info, it needs to be version 3.0

It could also be that nothing needs to be updated. If your on 3.0 just insert your region map disc.

It is a 3.0 with SW 3.0

THe update disc was not recognized BUT IU did insert the new map disc and it gave me the "updating software" meter after the keep system powered up warning so I suppose the SW is updated? THANKS!

I think the DVD update is already out there

Any information about DVD base NAV? 05 started to have DVD instead of CD.
