​PORSCHE  PCM  3.1  BACKUP  CAMERA  KIT   VERSION  6

INTRO  
​
In today's world at least for vehicles built starting year 2010 most manufacturer will equip your vehicle with a Backup Camera. The exception might be for Porsche Cars, in the newer Porsche Models from 2012.5+ the 991 Carrera, Porsche 981 Boxster or the Porsche 981 Cayman will rarely have a factory Backup Camera, the exception is the Panamera and Cayenne which 95% of the time they come equipped with a Backup Camera. What's the solution? Well Maxspeed-Motorsports has backup camera kits that pretty much work just like the factory ones and integrate beautifully with the factory PCM 3.1. Let's face it's almost a must have.  

We started offering this Backup Camera Kit almost 3 years ago with great success and very happy customers.  We are now to Version 6.  Like any other electronic products as technology advances so do our Camera Systems. 

OUR BACKUP CAMERA AND FRONT CAMERA KITS DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES.

Look no further, once you experience our backup or front camera kit in your Porsche it will be like "this should have been standard equipment".

This is by far one of the coolest gadget available for your Porsche, it's very close to the factory Porsche Backup Camera. It's a "no brainer" once you install this Backup Camera you won't be able to live without it.  Thanks to our PLUG N PLAY kit (Plug N Play for Backup Camera only)  Installation is easy and the quality is exceptional.

The quality of the image is superior to many OEM Cameras out there at least when compared to Porsche Factory Camera these are superior in image quality, we have the opportunity to work on many exotics at Maxspeed in our service center, and the camera resolution with the PCM 3.1 screen is the perfect marriage, the image is CLEAR. Again our Backup Camera image is more clear than the factory Porsche Backup Camera. 

This camera kit will integrate into your PCM and you will have the option to access camera settings via your PCM 3.1 just like a factory installed backup camera. This kit is just like having a factory original backup camera.  

BACKUP CAMERA THAT WE OFFER

For the Backup Camera there is 2 Versions available as follow:

Center Mounted Camera and License Plate Light Mounted Camera.  They are both of equal quality. So what is the difference?

For the Center Mounted Camera you get an even look , a factory look, a more precise image because the camera is mounted in the center. The only downside is that you will need to drill a hole into the bumper in order to install this camera depending on how you approach this it might suit you or it might not be your thing, if it isn't your thing your best option will be the License Plate Camera Version. We can say that the center mount camera is far more popular. 

For the License Plate Version this is an easier installation because it installs where the factory license plate light is there is no bumper removal and no drilling however where it comes short is that you will be off by 5 inches from the center. The other thing to be aware of is that the License Plate Backup Camera does have built in LED Lights however the color temperature is different as well, to be honest it was never a deal breaker for me or for hundreds of customers who have installed it. 

FRONT MOUNTED CAMERA

Our front mount camera is identical to our center mount backup camera in terms of appearance. The front mounted camera is more challenging to install due to the firewall. The front mounted camera is very useful for those who have lowered cars or for those who have to deal with Parking Cement Stoppers. The front camera should be seen as an option and not a necessity ​

FEATURES

 All of the cameras offered Front (Center Mount and License Plate Version ) and  Rear share the same specs.
  • Image Sensor : MCCD 7430
  • Level Angle : 145 Degrees
  • Resolution : 600 TV Lines
  • ​Waterproof IP : 67

The rear camera systems come with the following options
  • Dynamic Guidelines
  • Fixed Guideline
  • No Guidelines 

The front Camera 
  • Fixed Guidelines
  • ​No Guidelines 
INSTALLATION

When installing the License Plate Backup Camera kit this is a Plug N Play Installation this means that there are no wires to cut or tap into, there are no holes to drill.  *INSTALLATION TIME Approx 3-4 Hours for experienced technician or DIY'ers

When installing the center mounted backup camera it's no longer a plug n play simply because  you will need to drill a hole into the center of the bumper above the license plate. *INSTALLATION TIME Approx 3-4 Hours for experienced technician or DIY'ers depending on ow you approach the installation (See video) 

Finally when installing the front mount camera in conjunction with the backup camera getting through the firewall is challenging and may require drilling a hole somewhere on the firewall. Please remember this is optional and not a necessity, adding a front mount camera adds up labor hours easily so consider the cost, unless you are a DIY with some experience installation costs may not be a factor. *INSTALLATION TIME Approx 5-7 Hours for experienced technician or DIY'ers 

*Installation time is our own estimate please understand your installer may charge more hours. 
​
CODING (Videos below at the end of the page) 

When installing any of the cameras we offer you will need to code the PCM in other words programming is needed for the PCM to know that you have a Backup Camera without coding the camera is useless. 

There are 3 ways to achieve this. With our self coding OBD2 Tool, or with professional diagnostic tools like the factory PIWIS Scanner or with Autel Maxisys Elite which we have confirmed by actually using these diagnostic tools.  Please keep in mind that there may be some other professional scanning tool that may be able to code your PCM but you will need to check that with your installer. 

SELF CODING TOOL
Rent our coding tool, with the help of engineers we have developed a tool that plugs to your OBD2 Port and with the push of a button it will program the PCM , this is by far the easiest and most convenient method of coding the PCM, this is great for the Shop or DIY'ers who don't have access to professional diagnostic tools. When coding the PCM the tool will also code PDC (parking Sensors) this tool enables both the backup camera and parking sensors, if your car is not equipped with the parking sensors it will not affect the functionality of your PCM or backup camera that is simply because you have no parking sensors , if you do have parking sensors they will work as usual.

You can code the PCM before the installation and return the tool to us to get your security deposit back. There will be a $150 Security Deposit fee that will be refunded once you return the tool to us with the included pre-paid label and envelope to return the tool. A $64.95 rental fee will be applied. So the cost will be the cost of the camera kit you chose + 64.95 for the rental fee and 150.00 security deposit that will be refunded once you return it to us. 


Please be aware that there may be a waiting period if you chose the self coding tool ,we only have a few of them available however the turn around time is hard to tell, there might be a wait up to 2-3 weeks and in the most extreme cases 4 weeks. Remember that these tools go out on a priority basis, it is best you order your kit regardless if the tool is available or not, otherwise you may never be able to catch the tool. 

AS OF 7/15/2020 WE WILL ENFORCE A NEW RULE YOU HAVE 7 DAYS TO RETURN THE CODING TOOL FROM THE DATE OF RECEIPT, AGAIN 7 DAYS ONCE YOU RECEIVE IT. IF YOU RECEIVE YOUR CODING TOOL ON A MONDAY IT MUST BE SHIPPED BY THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. WE ASK YOU TO RESPECT THIS RULE SO THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS CAN GET THE CODING TOOL JUST LIKE YOU DID.  CONSIDER THE CODING TOOL SOLD TO YOU IF WE SEE AN ABUSE . WE HAVE SEEN CASES WHERE CUSTOMERS TAKE 1 MONTH AND EVEN MORE TO RETURN IT CAUSING OTHER CUSTOMERS TO WAIT FOREVER. PLEASE SEND IT BACK IN A TIMELY MANNER, YOU CAN CODE THE PCM BEFORE INSTALLING THE CAMERA KIT. 

PORSCHE PIWIS FACTORY SCANNER
If your installer or if you have access to a Piwis you will be able to program the PCM simply by scanning the car, selecting PCM followed by Coding, go through all the options until you find "reverse camera" at that point you  checkmark the "Reverse Camera" and push F12 voila its coded. 

AUTEL MAXISYS ELITE
You will need to scan the car select PCM followed by Coding and select 'Reverse camera" and proceed with coding. many independent shops have the Autel Scanning tool.

faq's

​Q- I have Software Version 2.XX or 3.XX and not 4.XX what can I do ?  
A- If your PCM Version is below 4.XX our kits will not work, you wont be able to enable the reverse camera in the PCM, we have tried to make it work on PCM 3.1 with Software Version 2.XX or 3.XX and we were not successful.  Finally It’s not possible to upgrade the PCM to a version above 4.XX  if you have Version 2.XX or 3.XX Unfortunately this calls for a PCM replacement to make it work. This problem applies to most 2012.5 and 2013 991's and 2013 981models only. 

Q- My current software version is above 4.xx, can i update it to the latest version 4.76?
A- Yes your Porsche Dealer can update the software for a cost or you can purchase a Porsche Genuine DVD Disc to update the software to the latest version (Contact your local Porsche Dealer to order the Update Disc) 

Q- Will the backup camera work with Manual Transmission? 
A-Yes

Q- Does the backup camera have guidelines? 
A- Yes it does, the camera has distance guidelines and dynamic guidelines that move when you turn the steering wheel. However keep in mind that the dynamic guidelines are not as efficient because it uses a sensor built into the camera therefor you may experience lag at times. 

Q- Can I have the PCM coded before or after the installation 
A- Either or will work, however we suggest you get the coding done first. 

Q-What is the difference between your kit and other kits like NAV-TV?
A-We didn’t explore all of the options available from other sources however one thing is for sure our kit cost way less, our goal is to provide you with a solution for integrating a Backup Camera to your Porsche with the least effort and complications possible and make it look and feel OEM as much as possible. We don’t care about playing a DVD while your driving like other kits may provide so if your goal is to have a Backup Camera that works perfectly look no further.

Q- How long should it take to install this kit?
A- Depending on the installers experience it can vary from 3 to 4 hours, however it is completely normal to get a 3 to 5  Hour labor charge. However if your adding a front mounted camera expect an additional 2-3 hours on top of that 

Q-Can you install my Backup Camera Kit?
A-Yes if you happen to live a couple minutes away, or a few hours away It will be our pleasure to install it for you. Installation costs including coding for our customers is $285.00 for backup camera and $570.00 if installing a front mount camera together with the backup camera  . Our installation is guaranteed for as long as you own the car, any issues we will repair it for free, again installation is guaranteed for as long as you own the car, for the camera kit itself there is a 1 year warranty . Call us to schedule an appointment.

Q-I like the license Plate Camera rather than the centered one the camera will the offset affect accuracy?
A-The camera will be offset from the center of the car by 5 inches, which means that when seeing objects keep in mind that you are offset by 5 inches. This is because the backup camera is installed in the license plate light position, this avoids drilling or modifying your bumper, however its hard to tell the offset when the image is projected to your screen.

Q- Is it possible to install the center mount backup camera without removing the rear bumper? 
A- Yes it is please watch the video at the end of this page.
 
Q-Can I install this myself?
A-Yes of course its possible difficulty level is 4/10 but time consuming, it will probably take you 5-6 Hours to complete the job for backup camera only. 

Q-I have the parking sensors, will this work and what happens on reverse do I still see the parking sensor display?
A-Yes it will work, and your display will overlap the backup camera image, so you get a combination of both on your screen. (Watch the video at the end of this page) 

Q-Will you include installation instructions? 
A-Yes Please download below.
