I know this topic has been debated a lot, and I’ve tried to figure out the answer from existing threads, but still not sure. Fair play to the people who’ve looked into this already. I have a MY 2002 C4 (Facelift 996, 3.6ltr) on a 51 plate I believe it has the 16bit version of PCM 1 (with the tape player) It came with a 2000-2 UK map and the PCM software version is PONA628D I get the consensus about separate sat navs being better than the PCM system, but I’d like to try and get my system half decent by getting a 2007 map for UK / Europe. My OPC say they can sell me the 2007 maps for 350 quid, but from reading forums I think I can only use official Porsche CD’s up to 2004 on the PCM 1 system. The alternative is to buy a 2007 CD from a company called Navishop in Germany, which I believe sell Vauxhall CD’s that work on 16bit PCM 1. These are about 160 Euro’s, but I’ve also read that you need a PCM software version of PONA642D for these to work, but I have no idea how to upgrade the s/w. Any advice on whether the Navishop disks will work is appreciated before I commit to buying them. Or, and I know it’s a bit cheeky to ask, but I’d be grateful if someone is prepared to burn me an ‘evaluation’ copy of their disk to try. Of course I’ll send a blank CD and return envelope. Thanks
