Hi,

I still have someproblemswith my navigationsystem. I keep on gettingthemessage "can't read the DVD". Asfar asI know the DVD is fine. Just wondering, can I use the navigation CD frommy cayenne (2003) to workin my 997 (2006)? I knowthat this system is meant for DVD's but the manualsays that I can use the CDslide (on the PCM) fornavigation as well. Any clous whether this would work?

Regards andhave a good weekend,frank

That's a pitty. I keep on getting the message "cannot read the DVD". I have used a 7/2008 one (I need the > 5/2005 one for my 2006 c4s). The system can't read the 10/2004 (I know it is the wrong one, but I wanted to check whether the system could read this one) one from which is working in my 2005 c2s.

Are there any checks that I can do, or is my DVD reader broken? The dealer could not find anything but the PCM overheating error caused by the 2004 DVD.

Any help is higly appreciated.

Regards, frank

The overheating and error message has been caused by inseting a 2004 map DVD in a navigation drive and PCM system designed to operate with the 2005 and later map. This is eesentially a software incompatability issue as the 2004 map DVD's are designed to work ONLY with PCM units with software version 1 and 2 (existing production status or Level A). The 2005 and later MAP DVD's are only compatable with PCM units with software version 3 and above (model level B , and C).
