The navigation update for model year (MY) 08 comprises the two PCM2.1 Multimedia Update 911 Boxster Cayman CDs 1 and 2, the PCM2.1 Multimedia Update CD Navigation and the DVD containing maps.
To use the navigation DVD (labelled 08.2007 or higher), which is valid as of Model Level B, in equipment configured with Model Level A software, a software update of the PCM2.1 integrated system must be performed using the update CD "PCM2.1 Update CD Model Level B" (software version 05024xxx).

If the PCM2.1 is configured with software version C/C1, only the maps need to be updated. For information on selecting the corresponding steps, see Step 2.3.
For vehicles with the standard software version or Model Level A software, the following new functions will be available after the Model Level B software version is installed:
- Electronic logbook in PCM2.1
- Off-road navigation: Using the selection item "Drive trace" ("Trace" means a plot of points during the journey), there is the option of driving to or back to one of the 5 plotted traces.
Additional new features can be found in the Owner's Manual or Quick Reference Guide for the PCM2.1 as of model year 2006.
Please read the terms of the license carefully.
