A bit more relevant to this thread, 

What would happen you put a copy of  SSD made from one pcm into a different pcm to replace a corrupted  / failed PCM HDD?

Would it work? Or would the fact the SSD was made from a HDD tied to another VIN mean it would not work?

I've not read the whole Rennlist thread but it seems swapping hard drives can cause problems. Post #8 is interesting though, he ran the update disc and his cloned drive worked.

I've had another one stick, so its booked in for replacement next month. The extended warranty has paid for itself again.

Op is taking a brake at the moment.

Corrected for you😄

Sometimes mixing Porsche screen wash and other brands together causes it to solidify. You will need to get the pump out and check if its full of gunk.

Mick, I sent @map a link to a company in Europe that does 718/Macan copy steering wheels with OEM airbags. 

Here is the LINK

On the original 'My Porsche' App I had the build list of my car but it was updated and now tells you nothing. But I think you are right then I have a CDR+ system in my car. 

It is basically the same as a PCM 3.1 but lacks the hard drive. The front panel and rear connections are exactly the same as a PCM 3.1 and it has a higher output then the CDR.

Well researched @Jon61👍

@Jon61 Yes the car is Dec '14 GTS and it does have the Aux/USB in the glovebox & DAB

When I removed the panel for the hard drive I seem to remember (2021 I did this) there is no facility to add one if I got a cloned unit.

It is a PCM 3.1 unit on V4.73 software but no nav, phone, or jukebox. It does have sim slot but I presume it does nothing.

I was pulling it apart anyway to install an Isudar AA/Carplay board in it, but was surprised about it not having the hard drive.

No my PCM 3.1 doesn't have Jukebox or Nav, and after buying all the kit to clone the hard drive I found it doesn't have a hard drive either

EDIT: I just found the firmware ISO saved on my Chromebook: "pcm_20150721"

Maybe you could share the file with @zagamuffinvia Google drive if he has the facility to burn the iso.

If your using a MR12v it doesn't matter what version your PCM is at. 

I would upgrade the SSD in the PCM if your removing it though.

@map     Maybe HERE

It looks  like he has bought a later wheel, from a Macan or 718 perhaps, sent it to Royals Steering wheels for a refurb too most likely

Maps question is more how is the later steering wheel fitted as steering shaft is actually smaller on a 986. I hope Zagamuffin didn't just use to big washers😂

@map I did see an adapter boss once for this but it pushed the steering wheel forward a couple of inches and the airbag and horn did not function. 

@Ringmaster999is it a OEM GT4 front or aftermarket.

Anyone have the part no for the Audi LED Light Housings

I would imagine @Robin_GTScould supply you with them but I don't know if I would want them super bright, I like the subtle lighting effect

I run Motul RBF600 and will be trying the RBF660 this year.

I was invited to a OPC trackday at Anglesey last year and was slowing repeatedly from 120mph. Brake pedal pressure was fine but standard pads were toast after the day.

I would also advise purchasing some of Peters water guards for the woofers

@moonshineAnother good question to ask Peter!  But yes you need a capacitor, Porsche us a 4.7uF and the guy in the original Rennlist thread tried varies but ended up with a 10uF cap. How much difference that makes I do not know and at my age I doubt I could hear the difference 👴

Bought mine from HERE

It is shortened but came with the BSAU mark which is the legal requirement. 

@moonshine https://www.scrdistribution.co.uk/porsche-tweeter--mid-connectors-15677-p.asp

It could be this wire but ring Peter and ask if its the correct connector, he's very helpful but also very persuasive so you will probably end up ordering the full kit😆

There is no way the capacitor connector that is stuck to the back of the bose tweeter is coming off.

Any suggestions for sourcing a connector  so I don't have to risk breaking the original tweeter and connector?

I used SCR for the door speaker connections, see if they do the tweeter

I much prefer a stick on plate.

Am i correct in thinking the 

Dayton Audio ND20FB-4 tweeter upgrade will work with the Bose system?

 

I would say they will work
