997 PCM Upgrade help needed

[SilverstoneSid]

After searching on this forum, I realise updating the Sat nav on my early 997 with Bose will not be easy, but since it is still running a 2004 Map DVD it is in desperate need of updating.

OPC Silverstone quoted me £500+ I can buy three TomToms for that money.

Can anyone help me with this??

There's a guy over on 911UK forum that can help you.
I forget his username but a search should point you in the right direction.

I have a feeling that this isn't as straight forward as just getting hold of a later version map disc. I think a software upgrade may also be required (and that's the pricey bit of the equation since not many user "back up" copies of that are knocking around)?

Doing the upgrade is very simple and prices seem to vary from around £50-£75 via the 911UK contact(s). Having done this though, you are still left with a crap sat nav which is moderately better than what you had before.

A very helpful chap on the 911UK forum helped me to interrogate my PCM, but unfortunately mine is an early 997 with an older Bose Amp that is not compatible with the newer software.

I first have to find a replacement Bose Amp (part numbers 997.645.334.22 or 997.645.334.33) than a software update and then the maps - "simples" - - not!
