Porsche Extends Retrofit Infotainment Systems For Mid-2000s Boxsters, Cayennes And 911s | Carscoops carscoops
It’s not always the styling or performance that makes once state-of-the-art cars feel embarrassingly dated next to modern machinery. It’s the. We take Bluetooth audio, Apple CarPlay and digital radio for granted in new cars, but that tech is missing from many high-dollar cars from the early 2000s.
Back in 2020, Porsche moved to remedy this situation by offering a retrofit single DIN Porsche Classic Communication touchscreen unit for classic 911s and a double DIN PCCM Plus setup for the 996-generation 911 and original 986 Boxster. Now it’s come up with a similar solution for the 997-generation 911 and 987 Boxster that followed, plus the 987 Cayman coupe and Cayenne SUV.
The PCCM Plus system for the 2003-2008 Cayenne is wider than the unit for the sports cars and features its hard keys at either side of the screen, rather than below. But both units feature a 7-in touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, , and satellite navigation with maps displayed in 2D or 3D. And if you’re replacing an older system that already offered navigation, you’ll still get to see arrow instructions in the gauge cluster.And for the first time, Porsche has developed different versions for Europe and North America. Units sold on the eastern side of the Atlantic get DAB+ digital radio, while versions shipped across the water are equipped with SiriusXM satellite radio.
