I think the answer's "no" but does anyone know definitively whether a PCM 2 system could be retorfitted into a non-PCM earlier car....
Yes it can, OPC do it - I think people have mentioned a figure around £2.5K before.

sorry to carry this on further but having just got my first porsche with pcm2, software version 3.00, cd's are dated 08.2003.

i am happy with system layout and functions but maps are out of date, hence

what are my options for updating software \ firmware, maps etc. are the opc's charging the earth.

can i get a version from elsewhere, i understand opel system will work in pcm2.

I know nothing of the Opel system working but you could probably find map cd/dvd's on e-bay???

Would be very interested to hear what your OPC say. I queried this with mine on Monday and they told me that "the 2003 discs are the most recent, and there will never be any updates as they are now all going to DVD".



Can this really be true (or fair and reasonable?). I don't seem to recall anyone mentioning that when I was specc'ing the system originally...

i called into leeds opc yesterday and was quoted £430 for recent upgrade cd's. i decided not to bother at this price, but there we have it. some opc's can when others can't.

opel system apparantly will only work with earlier siemens pcm and not becker units after an upgrade.

btw like a kid in a sweetshop, wife had to drag me out of the showrooms kickin and screamin :oops:
