Cayenne Navagation HELP!! :)

Hello,

I'm new to the board and so far love it! You guys have some great input!

Anyway I just picked up a 2004 Cayenne Turbo and the navagation isn't working. I have the Porsche nav DVD in the head unit and when I go to enter a destination it says "route guidance not active" so then I go to NAVI settings and try to check the "active" check box and it does for a brief second but then un-checks itself.

Things I done...
Checked to make sure it's the right disc and as far as I can tell it is. It says North America Map Disc or something like that. It has the DVD logo on it where as the second Porsche disc is only a CD. Neither of the discs work.

Checked to make sure the actual GPS locator works and it does, under the INFO button I show 10 satellites tracking me in 3D and it gives current long and lat readings. I also get correct elevation readings.

Checked to make sure map disc isn't scratched or damaged and to the eye the disc looks very clean.

I looked under the passenger side seat for the DVD player that is mentioned in the manual but all that is there is a slide out fire extinguisher.

I'm running out of ideas here guys, please help.

Thanks for your time in advance!

I was having problems w/ my NAV system and upgraded the disks to the PCM2.0. It's for the 04/05 MY PCM 2.0. It's 7 disk that includes North America, Canada, Mexico and Brazil.

Not sure if you need the disks but Sunset sells them at cost for $300+tax and dealers upcharge up to $500 in their parts department. Part number is 000.044.901.21

If you need the set, i'll let my go for $250 with all 7 disk in the original Porsche CD leather/vinyl case.

Hello, The 2004 Cayenne came with a PCM 2.0 which used a CD based navigation. The disk which goes in the head unit is a CD, not a DVD. 2005/06 and on used a 2.1 PCM which is DVD based and has the DVD drive below the passenger seat. Hope that helps...

Oh I didn't realize there were 7 discs. The set I have has 3 discs. Must be old. I finally figured out what was wrong. The Map 2 disc for my region is all scratched and unreadable. When I put Map 1B disc in there and zoom all the way out I see many eastern states and myself way off the map.

What's your email address sfzoo? Can't send you a PM because I haven't had 15 posts. lol I'm working on that.

That does help as I have no idea why my car came with the DVD as well.

Thanks for clarifying!! Already learning so much from this board. Great bunch of consolidated knowledge!!

Last 'upgrade' to CD Based Nav ?

So, my Jaguar's last update was 2003 & believe me, its useless. Folks on that forum are pretty pissy about it too... Feel left out - . However, why update the CD based when the DVD came out a year later... yeah, yeah.

Anyway, my 2004 also has the original 2004 disks... OLD & USELESS due to growth (remember, they probably have 2002 info on them).

What's the last update I can get ? I'm sure they're made my Navtech anyway.

Rob, the latest update was in 2008, with 2007 date and info...however, it is a real improvement and has data that my two year old (2008) Tom Tom misses. It's a seven disk CD set.
