Exactly the product that I was hoping that it would be, first rate.
Darryl Hebert (Verified Purchase) –
Unbelievable service, and was delivered to me in Canada within 2 days. I’ll admit was a bit skeptical, but the item was as promised. Easy to install using the simple instructions and SDcard that was couriered. Highly recommended!

The approach taken makes sure you have the right software for your hardware and firmware. The team could not have been more helpful and their technical knowledge is really solid.

PorschePlay stands by their upgrades and walk you through the entire process. Having updated maps and Nav will allow you to continue to enjoy your Porsche vehicle no matter how old it is!
John T. (Verified Purchase) –
The NAV update went very smoothly. There is no indication of progress (unlike the firmware update) so that’s a little disconcerting but the instructions said it would take 30 minutes so I decided not to touch anything for at least 45 minutes. It completed in 28 minutes! My charger indicated that with the key on and the door open it was charging at about 15 amps so I would absolutely recommend that a charger be attached throughout the process. This car is always kept on a BatteryMinder when not driven so I know the battery was fully charged at the beginning so that 15 amps is real.

Better than OEM
Julien (Verified Purchase) –
Everything was nice, easy setup
I was more peaceful to launch the installation during PorschePlay working hours in order to get them if necessary
Responsive team

My maps were basically stuck at the 2016/2017 delivery version. The online map download never worked for this car, so it was nice to finally move up to current 2024 maps.

Flawless install.
