Porsche has a new way to bring an older 911, Boxster or Cayman up to date. The new-generation PCCM Plus, short for Porsche Classic Communication Management Plus, adds a seven-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It covers model years 2009 to 2016, and Porsche says that means more than 300,000 cars.

That range matters because it reaches far newer cars than a classic retrofit usually does. The oldest eligible car is a 2009 model, and the newest is a 2016. Better still, this unit comes from Porsche itself, and its dealers handle the fitting.

For U.S. owners, there is one catch. The system is not on sale here yet, and Porsche hasn’t announced a price. Here is what the unit does, which cars it fits, and when Porsche expects it to arrive.

Which cars the PCCM Plus fits

According to the Porsche Cars North America release dated September 29, 2026, the system comes in two versions. One fits the 2012 to 2016 911, Cayman and Boxster, which are the 991.1 and 981 generations. The other fits 2009 to 2013 models, the 997.2 and 987.2 generations.

In other words, the list takes in the second half of the 997 run and the first half of the 991 run. The same goes for the mid-engine cars, from the facelifted 987 through the 981. Porsche’s global newsroom calls these cars “future classics,” and it puts the eligible total at more than 300,000 vehicles.

Meanwhile, Porsche recommends having a Porsche Center install the unit. The U.S. release also notes that owners can run it from the multifunction steering wheel. That works on cars that came with that wheel as standard.

What the PCCM Plus screen does

The core of the system is a seven-inch high-resolution touchscreen. Its headline feature is wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so a phone can stay in a pocket. For a car from 2009, that is a real jump in how the cabin works day to day.

The unit also has its own navigation. Porsche lists satellite imagery and a “Scenic Roads” function for choosing a more enjoyable route. Maps update over the air, and a nano SIM card slot provides 4G connectivity, according to the U.S. release.

Audio gets an upgrade too. The U.S. release lists HD Radio with dual FM and AM tuners, plus Bluetooth audio streaming that shows track details. By comparison, Porsche’s global release lists DAB digital radio for markets that use it.

Gauges and parking help on the screen

The PCCM Plus also shows vehicle information. The U.S. release lists oil temperature and oil pressure monitoring, plus a speed limit display drawn from navigation data. For owners who take these cars to track days, oil data on a big screen is a practical addition.

Boxster and Cayman owners get one more feature. Porsche lists a visual parking assistance display for those models. Separately, Autonext reports that the screen can show a virtual car painted in the owner’s exterior color.

There is even video. Porsche says the unit can play YouTube when the car sits parked, where local rules allow it. That’s a small feature, but it shows how far the unit goes beyond the original head units.

Where the new unit sits in the Porsche Classic lineup

Porsche’s global newsroom describes the PCCM Plus as “one of the most popular Porsche retrofit options” for years. The new generation stretches that idea forward to cars as recent as 2016.

According to Porsche’s U.S. PCCM page, other PCCM Plus versions already fit the 997.1 911 and the 987.1 Boxster and Cayman. The page also lists versions for the first-generation Cayenne and for the 996 911 and 986 Boxster. Those versions sit alongside the new one for the later cars.

The original PCCM goes back further still. Porsche’s page says it is “suitable for all standard production vehicles within the classic service scope with a 1-DIN or 2-DIN slot,” excluding the 356 and the Carrera GT. That smaller unit uses a 3.5-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay through a USB connection.

U.S. pricing and timing

Porsche has not set a U.S. price. The U.S. release states that “pricing and additional details for the U.S. market will be announced closer to the expected launch in early 2027.” Autonext also reports that Porsche has published no price. Instead, buyers should ask a Porsche Centre for a quote.

Outside the U.S., the timing looks different. Porsche’s global release says the system is available through Porsche Centres worldwide, so some markets will get it first. For American owners of a 2009 to 2016 911, Boxster or Cayman, the date to watch is the early 2027 launch Porsche has announced.
