Porsche Pcm 3.1 Update Download
All new vehicles with PCM 3.1 and the “online services” option (that is now available free of charge in Europe) will be able to connect to the new traffic service via a smartphone for no additional charge.
By simply downloading the Aha Radio app to your iPhone or Android device and connecting it to the PCM, live traffic updates will be displayed on the PCM screen in 14 European countries.
Porsche Pcm 3.1 Update 2018
While the current PCM traffic updates are processed using data from TMC and TMCpro, the new technology uses a much larger database comprised, in part, of GPS data from numerous mobile phones (hence the necessity for the Aha Radio app).
Collected and analysed by INRIX (a specialist technology firm), this data is relayed to the PCM 3.1 almost continuously, with near constant refreshes providing almost instant updates to the traffic situation on routes programmed into your navigation.
These results are clearly displayed on the PCM map, with green routes providing free flowing traffic, amber routes are stop-go and red routes are reserved for traffic jams.
The real-time nature of these traffic updates mean that the dynamic route calculation of the PCM 3.1 will be improved, minimising delays by avoiding traffic hotspots as they develop.
From 2016, Porsche Tequipment will offer a retrofit solution for vehicles fitted with PCM 3.1 and built after November 2012. If the “online services” option is already installed, the update will cost €232.05 (inc VAT).
For PCM 3.1s without “online services”, the retrofit will cost €351.05 (inc VAT) and will include the latest map data. To discuss your options, contact your local Porsche Centre.
This bulletin applies to 2010-2016 Porsche vehicles. The PCM 3.1 in Porsche vehicles is a very sophisticated device, similar in operation to a laptop or desktop computer. It is possible during normal operation for an internal PCM process to become “stuck” due to corrupt or unknown externally produced data.
The PCM 3.1 handles this situation by rebooting to clear the issue. This is an appropriate way of handling errors such as this (similar to rebooting your laptop or desktop computer if it “locks up”).
There are any number of reasons why a PCM 3.1 may experience this. If a PCM 3.1 reboots once or very infrequently (once per month), it could be considered characteristic operation and should be explained to the customer as such.
However, if the rebooting becomes more regular, more frequent or happens under a specific set of circumstances, it is necessary to isolate what is causing the PCM 3.1 to experience this condition and ultimately reboot.
