PCCM+ for 997, 987, 986

[julian987R]

From Porches newsroom. Seems us Gen 2'ers are fresh out of luck.

I am surprised no replies on this, I guess not many Gen 2 owners were holding out for the PCCM+

I was and thats a proper shame - nearly went with a hi spec Pioneer AVIC earlier in the year but pulled it as I heard about these

Maybe it just means we are further down the queue...

yep, probably 2023 now, real shame isnt it

Old news. I'm still hoping that Porsche will include 987.2 in a couple of years.

Yes that is old news but the new news I am posting is that it only happening for Gen 1’s. Keep up

Apologies for the thread hi-jack (just a little one), Julian987R please PM me re Olympic Blue? Tried to PM you, your profile is se to not allow emails.

It seems I haven't got Private mail access nor ability to contact PM. If by chance it is related to the 981, I then noted a comment about steering wheel and paddles which lead me to assume it is pDK, which I wouldn't want regrettably, but you can PM me via Cayman OC forum.
Thanks

Interesting!

So you cannot plumb this into a 7.2??

i think it is Gen 2 supported but the issues I see are
low res
carpay only by wire - which means a cable hanging out the front....which will look a mess. Why no wireless Carplay?
no backup cam support.

I think its a bit of a lame release and wonder if the nmautomotive or the forthcoming
https://www.mr12volt.com/collections/frontpage/pro...

which uses M.O.S.T. bus connection to deliver top notch digital audio and 15 bars DSP equalizer for full sound customization

and will do carplay wirelessy.

isnt that better in many ways?

[julian987R]

or is it gen 1 only? its not clear.

[julian987R]

There is a black version though…would that not suggest gen2 too?

I think a version for 987.2 will be along sooner or later.

Seems odd they have seemingly made this a bit naff.

I agree. After such a long wait (and there must be thousands of people waiting for it) it all looks rather disappointing.

Depends on what you really want. All i need is bluetooth and digital radio, wireless CarPlay would be lovely but it’s not that big a deal when i can just plug the phone in.

These units have proved very popular in the 9x6 despite not being as functionally rich, and the used market seems to value them when fitted.

well, i'd at least want something to not be out of date even before its even purchased. It is so behind the technology curve that one wonders what was the point of it.

Apples and Oranges with the 996 as that car is a dinosaur tech wise. you say very popular but I have read many threads of disappointment which act as a temperature check on just how popular it really is.
Used market will favour anything that helps a 996 not be a bag of spanners.
