I read that cleverly worded article as meaning the figure quoted was for the unit only and that fitting will be extra...
New Porsche PCCM
- Thread starter rogertill
- Start date
Best fitted price I've seen online is £1800...but that doesn't include map data (add £109) and for Bose will need another adaptor (add £55)
I'll stick to my Tom Tom

Re the cost
Porsche Centre Chester have these kits listed on eBay at c£1550. I added to my watch list and they've just offered 19% off bringing the cost down to £1250.... much more reasonable...

Wow thats a good deal. Very happy with ours. Transforms the 997 experience and I love that PCCM + works with steering wheel controls and dash. We have had zero glitch issues and I do not mind that ? Car Play isn't wireless as it charges the phone. Also in the quick start instruction manual it mentions reverse camera operation so I am hoping this functionality will soon also be available. Have asked OPC Reading about reverse camera availability
I had a genuine PCCM fitted yesterday to my 997.1 C4S by Friends Green Porsche and have to post about this:-
I contacted two OPC's a while ago and was quoted over £2600, eventually, once I'd had to answer all manner of questions and waited for suitable responses.
A local car audio specialist quoted around £2400 for an Alpine head unit together with a new amp etc, as I've the BOSE system upgrade.
I then found Friends Green details on the forum, so thought I'd give them a call.
Luke the proprietor was very knowledgable and helpful and managed to get me booked in within two weeks.
When I arrived, the young mechanic came straight over and took a genuine interest in my car and what I wanted them to do.
Luke then came over and they dropped me at a very lovely cafe in nearby Baldock, where I had a tasty waffle and coffee.
The cafe owner was used to Luke's clients coming over and was happy for me to sit there for quite a while sorting out some business on my phone and lap top.
I had a quick wander around the picturesque town and then got a call saying the car was ready.
They picked me up and brought me back to a perfectly fitted and working system in my car, with the old unit boxed and in the back. All in less trhan three hours.
Total cost, including the navigation software was £1850.
It's a great unit and well worth it in my opinion, even though I still haven't worked out all the functions for myself.
Equally, the service, attention and enthusiasm from Luke and his team is noteworthy and I would wholeheartidly recommend them to anyone; good old fashioned customer service.
(I'm going to get my mate to send me a rude text now to see if the nice lady from Google will read it out!!!![]. Sorry, I just can't grow up).

]. Sorry, I just can't grow up).Hi All, I've just had the PCCM+ fitted to my 986 Boxster by my local main agent, had some problems on not syncing and no DAB or FM lists so back with main agent to resolve, I had loaded lots of music onto a microSD card but it is not recognised by the system, have you or anyone else used the SD card slot with success, any operating restrictions? I raise it here as a lot of discussions about using a USB stick and I thought using the spare SD slot would be neater.
Hi,
I have the PCCM+ system in my 997 and believe the micro SD slot is only for map data. I use one of these in mine when i've not got the phone plugged into the USB, and they do work well. Fairly slim too, so don't look out of place in any way.

Hi, I've now sorted it out. There are two micro SD card slots on my PCCM+, one is for Porsche map data the other I have loaded lots of music onto. It seems you need to have a microSD HC card and not a microSD XC card and no more than 32GB, then you have to use a music storage system that the PCCM recognises. For instance you can't copy from itunes as that is stored in MP4a and not MP3, however if you have a Brennan music system, you can copy as it is stored in flac.
Top stuff. The 997 PCCM+ is a little different in that case! Mine does struggle with a lot of content on the USB though, so have to take a smaller version of the library, if i'm not using the phone to stream from.
