Arl30 Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi how do I update the satnav disc? Plenty on ebay 2015 but don't want to get one bought to realize I need something else to go with it. I have the pcm2.1, with Bose, does the new one do postcodes? Thanks in advance!

Richard Hamilton Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 It depends on the model year of your car. If it is 2005 or 2006 it may need system updates before the new maps will work. No, PCM2.1 does not do full postcode searches, only partial. Drop me a PM and I'll give you details of the updates, and where to get the map dvd at the minimum cost. ?

The missing one is probably the main one, that you have to leave in the nav drive on a 987.1 @Arl30 - have a search around in the forums. Haggis got a disc and made half a dozen copies. Each of those people then made half a dozen copies. Find the post and start asking if anyone has a spare disc. Don't bother asking me though as I don't.

Richard Hamilton Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Just a note to the PCM2.1'ers. Be very careful about randomly using update CDs. It depends on the existing software level which updates you have to apply. Using the wrong disk, or in the wrong order, can really screw up the system. Also, if you have an early Bose amp (late 2004 build date), you can brick it by applying updates. Aftermarket devices like the Dension also cause updates to fail. I have made special update disks to bypass some of these problems, so if in doubt drop me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Hamilton Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I didn't make myself terribly clear earlier. With PCM3.0 in the 987.2 you have to update the operating system software to get 7 digit post code entry. The snag is that after the updates the old maps won't work, and have to be updated too. With PCM3.1 in the 981 you can do the update for 7 digit codes without having to update the maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Thx Richard. In my case I already have full postcode on the 981, so I assume it will just be a case of using the map disks? Is this something that’s then worth looking out for cheaper map disks or is it something I will need to go through OPC for (note I am in Warranty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to enable them by entering an activation code with a PIWIS tester. The codes are based on the VIN, and there are other sources apart from an OPC.
