Jonttt Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Ok so I have version 2.20 of PCM 3.0 on my car. I “read’ on various forums that v2.25 is the latest system and its possible to get 2018/19 maps installed ? So what’s the best option for this .......ring OPC and prepared to be messed around as they do not know and then get raped on price or is there another way ie I believe any update has to be coded to the car via a PIWIS ? So who’s had it done, how and how much 😉 ps yes I know WAZE and Google Maps are better.....and I use them.....I just like the idea of having the latest software on my car ....and depending how much money and hassle .............

Paul P Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Had it done (on 2 cars) 2 routes - OPC about 350 or via a forum member for considerably less - suggest a chat with @Richard Hamilton. I totally agree on Phone based apps vs built in by the way - just wanted the best I could have..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never did understand how Porsche could supply a car to the UK which didn't accept the UK postcode. After all, they managed to move the steering wheel.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like having the convenience of the built-in satnav being up to date rather than the phone too - know what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's quite a way from you though @Jonttt (Berkshire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonttt Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Yep I’ve had contact with him....he is understandably not doing it during restrictions but even then its a circa 4 hour trip each way for me with a 3-4 hour wait whilst its done....thats a long day lol........I have the car setup to use my phone which has almost as large a screen as the car........if he where closer or the OPC was cheaper I would get it done......but probably not worth it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
