Enhanced PCCM Plus for retrofitting
The products ``Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM)'' and ``Porsche Classic Communication Management Plus (PCCM Plus)'' were announced in 2020, about three years ago.

List of Porsche models compatible with PCCM Plus
Porsche models that have been supported by PCCM/PCCM Plus so far are as follows:
- 914 (1970-1976)
- 911F (1965-1973)
- 911G (1974-1989)
- 964 (1989-1994)
- 993 (1994-1998)
- 959 (1987-1988)
- 924 (1976-1988)
- 944 (1982-1991)
- 968 (1992-1995)
- 928 (1978-1991)
- PCM Plus: 986 Boxster (1997-2002)
- PCM Plus: 996 (1998-2005)
And this time, it was announced that the compatible models have been expanded further in addition to these, and the following models have been added:
- 997 (2005-2008)
- 987 Boxster & Cayman (2005-2008)
- 1st Generation Cayenne (2003-2008)
It seems that there was a lot of demand when the first PCCM / PCCM Plus compatible with the 996th generation was announced in 2020. I also want it, but~”, so it seems that the range of PCCM support has been expanded this time.
It seems that the models that have been newly supported are already equipped with the second generation PCM (Porsche Communication Management) in 2DIN standard according to the request, but this time PCCM / PCCM Plus It will completely replace them (Cayenne CDR23, Boxster / Cayman CDR24).
The newly installed PCCMs are based on the components already installed in that generation Porsche, such as the surrounding air conditioning control panel and push buttons, so they will be integrated very naturally into the car.
Also, since the Porsche logo is also included, it is said that it is possible to identify "This is a device developed by Porsche properly!"
Mr. Porsche, you are also concerned about such a place ^ ^
Peripherals such as amplifiers, speakers, and antennas can be used as is, and the navigation display in the instrument cluster will continue to be supported.
PCCM Plus Version by Region
PCCM Plus includes a 7-inch touchscreen with a state-of-the-art graphic display, while DAB+ is programmed to receive digital radio stations in the European version and SiriusXM satellite radio in the US and Canadian versions. About.
As was the case last time, I think that the Japanese version will probably be sold separately after a while.
Last time, it took about a year and a half from the announcement of PCCM in Germany to the announcement of the Japanese version, so I wonder if it will take that long this time too? No, I'm already used to it, so it's faster ^^?
It seems that the Japanese version will be adjusted to match the Japanese radio band range (as was the case last time).
Nav will offer state-of-the-art onboard navigation displayed in 2D or 3D with a POI (Point of Interest) search system, and map updates will be provided regularly in the future.
For media playback, it supports USB memory or Bluetooth, Apple Carplay (iPhone5 or higher), and Android Auto.
In addition, since it also has a trip computer function, it is possible to obtain driving data, and not only can personal settings of the car be saved in 911, Boxster, Cayman, but also this memory depending on the vehicle equipment It can also be used for lights, wipers, etc.
The price of the new PCCM Plus announced this time is 1,520.37 euros in Europe (including 19%VAT in Germany). $ $1,475.99 in the US.
By the way, it seems that map information is sold separately, and it seems that the map can be purchased from the Porsche Center (I wish I could put it on...).
It is recommended that the replacement of PCCM / PCCM Plus be done at Porsche Classic Partner or Porsche Center.
Really, it's very naturally blended into the design of Porsche models of each generation!
If you have a newly added target model car, you may enjoy the classical atmosphere as before, or you may enjoy a more comfortable Porsche life with the new PCCM Plus ^ ^
