Copied this from a PH posting a few weeks ago : Hope it is of some help [
]   I am often asked about this, so here is a summary of the updates available for PCM2.1 systems fitted to MY2005 and MY2006 9x7 vehicles, which are required to run the latest maps (currently 08.2009 – MY2010).  First, determine the current (Actual) software versions for the PCM and Amplifier.  Press MAIN + TRIP together Scroll down to PCM and select Make a note of PCM Actual Version Go back & scroll down & select Amplifier Make a note of Amplifier Actual Version. If your car does not have an amplifier, the option will not be there.  There are 4 levels of PCM software version: 04035xxx – Standard Production Status (Up to Week #42, 2004) 04202xxx – Model Level A (from Week 42, 2004 to Week 16, 2005) 05024xxx – Model Level B (from Week 16, 2005 to Week 22, 2006) 05395xxx – Model Level C (from Week 22, 2006 onwards)  There are several early versions of the Bose amplifier, and it has been found (the hard way) that updating these using the Level A update CD can cause the amplifier to fail completely, and require replacement.  If Actual Amplifier Version is less than 00017500 (ie 00016401) then do not attempt to update the system using an update CD. Some of these early amplifiers can be updated using a PIWIS tester, but others require replacement. I would suggest contacting a Porsche Centre to determine this.  If Actual Amplifier Version is 00017500/xxxx or greater then it is OK to update using the update CD.  Required Updates:  a) If PCM is version 04035xxx then apply updates in this order: Level A, Level B, Phone, and Level C.  b) If PCM is version 04202xxx then apply updates in this order: Level B, Phone, and Level C.  c) If PCM is version 05024xxx then only apply Level C update.  d) If PCM is version 05395xxx then no updates are required, just insert the map disk.  Update Disk Part Numbers (9x7):  1) Level A - 000.043.205.46.004 (previously 000.043.205.46.001) – Updates Standard Production Status to Model Level A 2) Level B - 000.043.205.46.002 - Updates Level A to Level B 3) Phone - 000.043.205.46.003 - Updates Motorola phone module, if installed. 4) Level C - 000.044.901.40 - Updates Navigation Module, after Level B is installed, to Level C.  PCM2.1 Navigation Europe DVD 08.2009 – 997.044.902.50 (currently £303.53 +VAT).  Notes:  Levels A, B and Phone are done with a CD in the PCM CD drive. Level C is done with a CD in the Navigation drive.  Phone update is only required if the telephone module is fitted to the car.  This applies to 987C, 987, and 997’s. Different update disks are required for 9PA Cayenne models.    Â
