Parts to install NAV on PCM 3.0

[coyoetp15]

Hi everybody

 

I have never used a forum before and I don't know how it works exactly so I am hoping I don't break any rules here

 

I just bought a 2009 Carrera but the navigation is not installed. 

I want to install the Navigation but I am not really sure what parts I'm missing. I took it to a Porsche dealership and they told me that I need to buy the entire PCM for 5K. I read somewhere that you only need to buy the Nav module where the disk is and the antenna but I don't know if this is true or not.

 

Any advice?/

 

Thanks in advance

So I retrofitted Nav and cd changer into my wife's 2008 997.1 C4S . This was in 2009 when the car was bought new and even still had the temporary paper plates on it. You should not need to replace the PCM. You just need a lot of parts, a lot of time, and the dealer to set coding in the car to say you now have Nav. Suncoast and @Loren were great resources to me at the time but I also had the electronic parts manual which told me pretty much everything I needed to know.

Just realized this was for a 997-2. They switched to touch screen, etc, that year, right? So with that said, I can't speak with much intelligence around what is/isn't possible.

Here is a better option:

You can buy a Pioneer head unit for around $1,500 installed that has Apple CarPlay and most of the features a 991.2 will have.
