malarcyThe manual for the unit is available online to checkout the features. From my reading. Yes the unit does the sports chronos integration and it’s native nav retains dash integration. You also get bose integration including fader and audio pilot (if you have Bose). Steering wheel controls as well. If you need them. And ignition on and lights on signalsand you don’t need the fascia kit. depending on the starting point there’s approx 350 of extra bits to get the Sony hooked up. And (if Bose) the 3rd party solutions are lacking in some features). may of course be included in the Sony for 400 but I would be surprised. the 3rd party units typically require an extra dab aerial stuck to the windscreen the unit is 1420 inc vat. Before pcgb discount. If you are paying a 3rd party to install the Sony then they could install the pccm + for the same amount so that nets out. also. Don’t known if this is because the car they used in the friends green Porsche video already had “individual memory” in the car but that wassupported - two ways of looking at that its a feature that would cost probably 400 to retro fit. If you get it free with pccm+ then great. If you already have it then you retain it. if you went 3rd party and already had it then it’s another feature you lose. of course. Everyone’s personal call on what something is worth and what features you need / want. Personally I am surprised a mainstream 3rd party could be done and dusted for 500 but if that works for you and you personally get what you want then winner
Stefan WilczakThe Friends Green Porsche installation video and the comments below (particularly the first one) and the user manuals for the head unit maps and FAQs are really useful, use this link: https://www.porsche.com/international/accessoriesandservice/classic/genuineparts/producthighlights/pccm/manuals/ The only thing I couldn't find in the manuals of FAQs was what impact if any it would have on Sport Chrono - if anyone knows, please would you post. The new PCCM seems very well integrated with the controls on the steering wheel and the instrument display but if it screws with the Sport Chrono it would be a shame. In all this talk about prices, has anyone sold their old PCM unit, CD changer and the other box in the boot, is it something to do with the nav (all of mine is in working order)? £1800 seems to be the price fitted (Friends Green Porsche) but if you can recover a few hundred quid for the stuff that comes out it would make the cost more palatable.
BorisHad my PCCM fitted by Solihull OPC - looks great. However, bearing in mind it's part of the same group, I think that the one fitted to my VW T-roc is better.
