PCM/Navigation

[jfraser]

I've just ordered a 997S, and downloaded the owners manual from the "Porsche manuals" section. Is the PCM 2 manual applicable to the 997, or is it for a 996?

I'm actually trying to find info related to the Navigation unit...Basically, I want to know if it is possible to enter a street name & number and have the nav system suggest the city. I can do this with my Mercedes....if you enter a street address, it provides a list of relevant cities to choose from. I find it particularly helpful as I'm relatively new to Los Angeles, and often I don't know if the address is in West Hollywood, Hollywood, Culver City, Bel Air etc.....

Thanks

Your 997 will have PCM 2.1. The PCM 2.0 manual may be close and is all we have seen at this point in time.

OK, here is what is probably a stupid noobie question. I just purchased a used '05 997. Is it possible to use the PCM navigation with the older CD technology, or do you have to fork over the buck for the DVD system?

Unfortunately you have to know the city in which you are providing the address.... I just tried entering the street name and it assumed the last city I had entered in my destination... had to change the city to get another list of street names.
