Porsche Panamera 2010-2016 - PCM 3.1 cars, two portrait sizes

10.4-Inch and 12.1-Inch OEM-Style Screens for the Porsche Panamera 2010-2016, Built for PCM 3.1 Cars (TGV3504/3514)

Your Panamera drives like a newer car than its dashboard looks. PCM 3.1 was fine in 2012, but the maps are old, there's no CarPlay, and the screen is the one part nobody compliments. Two portrait panels fix that.

Fitment and model years

The published range is the Porsche Panamera 2010-2016 with the PCM 3.1 head unit, which covers the first-generation 970 cars. Both panels are listed for left-hand drive (LHD) and right-hand drive (RHD) builds, so your UK or Hong Kong car isn't a separate order.

Year matters less than the unit in the dash. If your car left the factory with PCM 3.1, the fascia and connectors are the same across the run. If it's got a later system, tell us before you pay, because this family won't fit.

Published fitment. Send your VIN and we verify the build first.

This isn't the only shape we cut for the car: an 8.4-inch and a 12.3-inch wide panel also exist. A Porsche Panamera 2010-2016 Car Multimedia Stereo search surfaces both, so match the photo to your dash first.

02

The PCM 3.1 stack

Look at your centre console first. The version we support has the colour radio display between the two chrome vents, with TUNER, MEDIA, SOURCE, NAVI and MAP buttons underneath, and that photo sits on our product page so one glance tells you we mean the same dashboard.

The stack we support.

Why the fuss? Because Porsche Panamera owners shop by year, the year doesn't reliably match the hardware, radios get swapped by previous owners, and a photo of your own console settles the question in ten seconds.

If you're replacing a tired unit rather than chasing CarPlay, treat the Porsche Panamera 2014 PCM 3.1 Replacement Radio as a hardware swap first, and the ordering gets easier.

03

10.4-inch or 12.1-inch

Same brackets, same harness, different glass. The 10.4-inch leaves more dash trim visible either side; the 12.1-inch fills the opening and reads as one black surface. In my experience the smaller one looks closer to something Porsche could have fitted.

So which do you order? For a car that mostly cruises, the Porsche Panamera 2013 10.4-Inch Vertical Screen is easier to live with. If you want the cabin to look deliberately modern, take the taller one. Nothing else changes: same apps, same wheel mapping, same camera input.

Both are cut as an OEM Style replacement, so the trim follows the opening instead of hovering on a spacer frame, and that's the part you can't fix with a firmware update. If you're chasing the taller glass, you end up at the Porsche Panamera 2015 12.1-Inch OEM Style Car Radio.

Key features

8GB + 128GB

Enough memory to keep navigation, music and a second app resident without the launcher reloading on every switch.

CarPlay and Android Auto

The top row lists CarAutoPlay, so your phone projects onto the portrait screen with its own interface.

LHD and RHD harness

Both drive sides sit in one part number, with the matching connector set in the box.

The published table lists both models as 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, LHD and RHD, PCM 3.1 in the remarks. That's the whole specification, and I'd rather repeat it exactly than dress it up.

In daily use the payoff is undramatic, which is the point. Maps open quickly, the music app remembers where it was, and the phone connects without you touching the screen. A Porsche Panamera 2012 OEM Style Screen Upgrade isn't an exciting purchase.

05

Home screen and app drawer

The home page is a dashboard rather than a menu. Clock and date on the right, weather and a compass with pressure and altitude on the left, a car image you can swap for your own. Across the top runs one fixed row: Navigation, FM, Music, CarAutoPlay, Bluetooth and Video.

Clock, weather, compass.

Below the widgets sits the app drawer, and along the bottom a strip that doesn't move: home, back, volume up, volume down. That strip matters more than it sounds, because reaching for a knob at motorway speed is awkward and a bar that stays put is something your thumb learns in a day.

The status line says when a phone isn't connected. Small thing, until you spend a morning wondering why calls go silent. I've noticed the status line is where pairing problems show up, and it's where I look first when a Porsche Panamera owner asks.

06

BOSE, Burmester and the fibre box

This decides whether your first drive is a triumph or a silent one. Look at the speaker grille: no badge means the standard system and no fibre interface, a BOSE badge means the factory amplifier talks over optical fibre, and Burmester means the same in a more expensive font.

Three grille answers.

Our page lists the fibre box as an optional extra for original amplifiers. Optional because plenty of cars don't need it, not because it's decorative. Get it wrong and you've got a beautiful screen and no sound, which is a frustrating way to spend a Saturday.

The rest of the loom is the car side, which a Porsche Panamera 2010-2016 Car Multimedia Stereo search usually hides: amplifier feed, steering wheel wiring, reverse camera input.

I keep telling buyers to read the grille, not the invoice, because two cars arrived here with a BOSE badge and no fibre lead in the box, and both owners assumed the amplifier would work anyway. It doesn't. A Porsche Panamera 2014 PCM 3.1 Replacement Radio that loses the parking radar is a downgrade in a car this long, and pulling the trim twice is tedious.

07

Support and ordering

Send three things before you buy: model year, last six digits of the VIN, and a photo of your centre stack. We'll check the build against both panels, tell you which to order, and ship worldwide from Zhuhai with regular consignments to Europe, North America, the Middle East and Australia.

Then the boring part, which is the part that saves money. A Porsche Panamera 2012 OEM Style Screen Upgrade isn't a small spend on a car of this age, so ask the fitment question before you pay rather than after the trim is on the bench, which is the annoying order.

Frequently asked questions

01Which Porsche Panamera 2010-2016 cars does this cover?

First-generation 970 cars built with PCM 3.1, on any drive side. Send the year and VIN and we'll confirm first.

02Can I keep my BOSE or Burmester amplifier?

Yes, with the fibre box, because both premium systems run the amplifier over optical fibre and it won't get a signal without one. An unbranded grille means the standard system, so you're fine.

03Do I have to choose 10.4 or 12.1 inches before ordering?

You do, and it's the only real decision here. The Porsche Panamera 2013 10.4-Inch Vertical Screen and the taller panel share brackets and harness, so size is a preference, not a compatibility question.

04Will my steering wheel buttons still work?

Volume and track changes stay on the wheel, because the CANBUS box reads your car's own messages.

05Is it possible to keep the reversing camera and parking sensors?

Yes. The camera feed and the sensor overlay stay on screen, and an AHD camera uses the same input.

06How do I know which head unit my car has?

Look at the display between the vents. A colour radio screen with TUNER and MEDIA buttons under it is PCM 3.1, which we support. Anything else, message us a photo first.
