Updating Porsche Navigation for a 2005 996 Porsche Turbo

[67427]

This system uses the CD system and I got the and one and only update from Porsche numbered 000.044.901.21. I am running the upgraded 3.0 system as required. What I do not know is whether I just can update the system by running the appropriate CD for my geographical area. I am in Florida so I am using CD #4 (it comes with 7 or 8 CDs including Brazil). I have read in this forum that it is as simple as just running the CD and that is it. Yes I also know that there are much better portable systems out there, but this is not about Navigagtion, but having the most complete Porsche (since I may keep it for years). thks

Not sure hat you mean by update the system....you are running PCM2 firmware version 3? Do you mean software version? Just put the map into the CD slot and off you go. I have read where you should have the car running when you first load the CD (mine did not need any updating).

thanks. yes I mean that the instructions for the updated maps tell you that you must be running PCM2 firmware Version 3.0 and tell you how to check, it, "Press map and (something else which now escapes me) to determine version" and you must be running version 3.0 for the system to work with the updated maps. I checked and I am running that version of the software so I am ready to run the upgrade maps for my section of the country, and was not sure if I needed to do something else other than just putting in the appropriate CD for my section of the country.
