PCM I Software/Hardware Upgrade?

I have a 2001 TT with PCM I. Called Navtec and was told that there would not be any newer map data updates available. The person I spoke with said there was some sort of hardware update needed to be done by Porsche before ordering newer updates for PCM I.

My question - is there a Porsche NA re/solution recall or upgrade available? Otherwise PCM I owners (like myself) have $3540 of obsolete equipment. If it was not meant to be software upgradeable then why have the disks?!

Quote from Navteq's own site...
"Did you know that a staggering 15% to 20% of the road network changes each year? To help you make the most of your navigation system, we drive the roads you drive, checking out changes in the road network so that you don’t have to. With NAVTEQ map data, you’ll have all the information your navigation system needs for you to arrive relaxed and on time.

Order your map update now! "

I JUST WISH I COULD (and in the years to come)!!

I'm pulling mine out and installing a new Pioneer AVIC-N1 head unit. I put one in my Silverado Pickup truck a couple of months ago and I just love it. They are doing my Boxster this week and then we are going to tackle the 2001 996 Turbo after that.
It is far better and faster naviagtion, you can add an optional TV Tuner, XM Module, etc..
