does this offer also apply to PCM 2.1? wouldn't mind getting updated maps though I think my firmware is pretty up to date at v3.3? OPC must have updated it when it was in for service?

They will on a Gen2 Turbo to take it to v2.23 as I was told there is a recall. I had mine done at Tonbridge FOC when it went in to have it's brake pads cleaned.
but can you do a full post code search ?

FYI, I was told by Cambs this morning that it applies to MY2007 cars forwards - with full postocde entry / search

I'm having mine done as the Pana is in for a service today

I had the conversation with OPC Glasgow today - they had to do some digging around but they found the deal eventually. Good publicity by Porsche GB. Not. So huge thanks to the OP for finding it and posting it!

And, AFAIK, it does only apply to the PCM3.x cars - any generation with a touch screen.

Apart from the postcode search would some kind soul tell me what other differences/improvements I am looking for with this upgrade ?

Your wallet is £150 lighter, thereby providing an increased power-to-weight ratio and allowing you to get to your Sat Nav destination quicker...

Depending on how old your software is, it will enable support for newer phones such as the IPhone 4S and 5/5S.

They're quite subtle!

New maps
Full postcode entry
New levels of map zoom
In-map drop-down menu for commonly-used options (select Map Menu in Options to enable)
Better phone integration (call lists are working correctly with my HTC ONE now)
Improvements to various functions on the PCM - Sound options, sport display, Bluetooth, + some I've not found yet
Improved sound quality from the tuner - I guess it updated the tuner's firmware too.

Will let you know when/if I find more....

that's comprehensive and makes it even more of a bargain (comparatively speaking)

I was told today that the cost for this is £299 from Sheffield OPC. I asked if he would care to check that before I went elsewhere. His reply was that he didn't need to as he KNEW that the cost was £299 throughout the UK.

Then called Leeds OPC who confirmed the cost at £150.

How do I get Sheffield to play ball, or should I just take my business to Leeds??rolleyes

Thanks for alerting me to this. Getting it done later this week at OPC East London.
Possibly why they knew about it straight away when I booked mine in, and no need to ask about the offer price either..

That's interesting BMW, does Mark have a surname? I'd like to speak with him.
