Looking for PCM 2.0 / software version 3.0 / Alberta map disk

[Papagut]

Hi there,

I am looking for anyone with somewhat recent map disks for my Cayenne. I have a PCM 2.0 system with version 3.0 software, and do not have a CD for my area: Alberta, Canada. I recently moved out West and have only CD's for "east" and "map 1A: northeast & north central US and Canada".

If anyone is willing to sell them or would consider a trade for my disks, please let me know. I am in the Calgary area.

Let me know if you can help - thanks.

Please do not promote making illegal copies of software here - that WILL get you banned.

[Papagut]

Okay, I thought other owners may be willing to trade, share, or sell - but definitely don't want to be banned, I find this forum invaluable.

Sorry for the trouble.

Sell, trade or otherwise 'legal' is fine. Illegal coping (or promoting illegal copying) it is not.

Enjoy the site but don't get us shutdown... thanks.

Sure thing - edited.

Thanks,

I have heard the newer maps are very lacking so didn't go through the massive expensive of updating my PCM. I have Nav in my Cayenne and find it useless... TomTom is the best way to go in my opinion.

[Papagut]

My point exactly - the expense is quite high. My problem is that the system keeps asking me to insert a disk as I believe it thinks I am still in Ontario. I just want to bring it up to a state where it doesn't prompt me.

[wvicary]

Turn off the route guidance and will stop asking you for a disc.

[Papagut]

True, I guess I am a little picky about these things - I just want it to be functional. I am hoping that there is another owner somewhat locally that may be willing to trade or let me buy their disks.

[wvicary]

I fully understand about wanting to have everything up to date and working correctly and why they charge so much money for these discs is beyond me. I gave up trying to find the newer disc at a reasonable cost and invested in a portable GPS. I have PCM 2.1 which is DVD based and it surprisingly has ok coverage for Alberta but for Regina it shows only one street!

Have you tried Ebay at all or I wonder if the VW Touareg uses the same CD's?

[Papagut]

That is a great suggestion - I know a trustworthy local shop to ask just that. As for Ebay, I have looked, but all I ever see is the 2.1 DVDs.

Buy them. We did. Sorry for my bluntness Mark, but I'll reiterate Loren's concern. Renntech.org is a tremendous asset to us all and there's tons of DIY knowledge here. There also is a LEGAL obligation NOT to promote activity contravening the goodwill of PNA, etc., so THEY allow us to have the forum, most likely. The stuff on eBay is garbage. I bought the full set at the dealer and see it as a plus when I sell along with new master keys, and my complete service records.
