1998 996 PCM1

[MarkoAL]

Hi everybody,

I have new navigation drive from crashed car: 996.642.122.03 EFR. I assume it is 16bit? If so, is it compatible with main unit? At least the cables fit.

I have heard that I need 2002-1 disk to update with drive and then could use the Opel maps.

This is old story for most of you. As a green member, I had hard time understanding what to do :(.

Is that disk image available somewhere and does it help at all? Or do I have to change main unit too.

I appreciate any info you have.

Thank you from rainy Finland!

The drive is compatible with the head unit, but I'm not sure the navigation drive will work without the security code. Have you tried it?

If it does work, drop me a PM, as I might be able to help you find the 2002-1 disk.

Hi Richard,

I do have the code for it.

I replaced the old unit and it gave some error code I do not remember now. I think it was something not cabable of reading disk or disk is upside down...

Hi Richard

Still "little bit" struggling with my PCM1 & navigator. I now took also the PCM out to see the version. You can see them in link: https://plus.google.com/107888625339303820635/posts/BKX8Sf85Unh

Navigation unit is in pieces and I have problems to make it work. The main issue is if these two are even compatble? Is the PCM1 too old...

Any idea?

As far as I know, the units are compatible. I have heard of a few people who have fitted 16-bit navigation drives to early PCM1 units without issues. If you want to try the 2002-1 disk, drop me a PM.
