Information 

• If a new PCM/CDR is to be installed in a vehicle, the enabling code specified in the PIWIS information system must be used  .
• You can get the codes from the PIWIS Infosystem or from your importer by specifying the vehicle identification number  .
• During coding, it is essential to guarantee the power supply for the PIWIS Tester II 9818  . A battery charger with a current rating of at least 40 A must be connected to the vehicle battery.
• The PIWIS Tester II 9818  instructions take precedence and in the event of a discrepancy, these are the instructions that must be followed. Deviations may occur with later software versions.
• The procedure described here has been structured in general terms; different text may appear in the PIWIS Tester II 9818  or additional information/steps may be displayed or required.

Information 

If the PCM unit is to be replaced with a new unit, the navigation data must be installed using a Software Update navigation CD/DVD  .

• To enable you to actually install the Software Update navigation data  , you must read out the enabling code  from the PIWIS information system. Additional enabling codes, e.g. customer has navigation system for Europe and Russia, or customer has already obtained navigation updates, must be queried by customer service personnel at the customer site.
• The PCM maps software version  can be read from the PIWIS information system (electrics/electronics information)
• The required Software Update navigation CD/DVD  must be ordered via PET.
• The Software Update navigation CD/DVD  must not be handed over to the customer. This CD/DVD can only be used with PIWIS Tester II 9818  .
• The Software Update navigation CD/DVD  that corresponds to the relevant vehicle model year must always be used for the required PCM system, e.g. if the vehicle model year is 2010, the CD/DVD for 2010 must be used. This applies even if CDs/DVDs for 2011 are available.
• The model year-based Software Update navigation CD/DVD  must always be archived in the Porsche Centre.
• Further changes/supplements to the Software Update navigation CD/DVD  can also be obtained. These will have to be used later for older vehicles. For example, CDs/DVDs for 2011 are already available, but an error was found on the 2010 version, so the old CD/DVD for 2010 will have to be replaced with an updated CD/DVD for 2010. This process will be announced in a TI.
• Current compatibility with Bluetooth telephones can be checked at http://www.porsche.com/germany/accessoriesandservices/porscheservice/vehicleinformation/documents/
