Please note: clone device, hard drive, and other items may vary from those pictured.

Replace the fragile mechanical hard drive in your Porsche Communication Management (PCM 3.1) head unit with a faster and more reliable solid state drive (SSD) before yours fails! Once the PCM starts to reboot on it's own, it's a sure sign the hard drive is on it's way out.

The Porsche PCM 3.1 head unit uses a mechanical hard drive that is prone to failure from heat and vibration which can lead to your radio, navigation and other features completely unusable. Our kit contains everything you need to remove the mechanical drive and back up the data to a more modern and reliable SSD before you have issues.

Our kit includes a stand-alone cloning device (no computer needed!) new solid state drive, T5 and T25 torx drivers, plastic trim tools, a microfiber cloth, and software update disc.

Some people have even been able to recover their head units after the unit has started to exhibit the dreaded rebooting cycle by cloning their existing drive to a new one, allowing them to save hundreds or even thousands versus a new unit from Porsche. Back up your PCM 3.1 hard drive now and save your piece of mind.

Works with any PCM 3.1 head unit that has a SATA III hard drive, such as those found in the following:

• 2014-2016 Porsche 981 Cayman/Boxster, S, GTS, GT4
• 2014-2016 Porsche 991.1 911 Carrera, S, GTS, Turbo, GT3, etc.
• 2014-2016 Porsche Cayenne
• 2014-2016 Porsche Panamera

Does not work with CDR 3.1. If you are not sure what unit you have, if you do not have a 'NAV' button on your head unit, then you have a CDR, and not a PCM. The CDR 3.1 unit does not have a hard drive in it, so there is nothing to replace.

Please note that before 2014 it appears that Porsche used an IDE hard drive. To check and verify which disk style is in your PCM unit, you would need to remove the unit, and open the hard drive tray, then check the connector on the drive itself. If it a "pin" style connector with many individual pins on the hard drive, you have an IDE hard drive and unfortunately, our kit will not work.

May work with other PCM models equipped with hard drives, but not tested.
