Is the radio asking for a code or is it locked? We service Porsche PCM1 Becker / Siemens from the Porsche 911 (996) and Boxster (986). Send just the removed module with a description of the symptoms, and we will check it in our workshop.
PCM1 is the system that manages audio, navigation and communication functions in Porsche. The first versions were developed in cooperation between Becker and Siemens. You will find it in the 911 (996) and Boxster (986) models from around 1998–2004.
The unit is also known as IDIS – BE2560, BE2580 and BE2582. Its architecture includes SAB80C535 and SAK-C167SR-LM processors, as well as flash and EEPROM memory. Example part numbers are 996.642.102.04 and 5WK78003.
In your enquiry, if you can, please include the part number from the label. Send a photo of the label before posting if you are unsure of the model. Send only the removed module for repair; we check the module, not the car.
What is wrong with your PCM1?
The symptoms help describe the problem. We confirm the cause after checking the module.
Asks for code / locked
The unit has two codes: separate ones for the radio and for the navigation. After checking the module, we determine whether it can be unlocked and confirm the scope of work.
We check the removed module in our workshop. After inspection, we confirm the scope of work and the price.
Unlocking
We determine whether the radio and navigation can be unlocked and carry out the service once the repair scope has been approved.
Test and return
After the repair, we test the module and send it back by courier, safely packed. If you decide not to proceed or the unit cannot be repaired, the diagnosis and return are free of charge.
Repair your own unit or buy a used one?
We work on your own unit; we do not replace it with a unit from the market. We confirm the scope of work after checking the module.
You do not need to bring the vehicle in. Describe the problem and we will help you work out what to remove and send. After inspection, you will receive a quote for approval — only then will we start work.
Write what is happening in the vehicle, state the make, model and year. Add a photo of the device, the error screen or the nameplate sticker, if you have one. On that basis, we will initially assess whether we can help.
02
We will help you work out what to send
Not sure whether to remove the radio, screen, amplifier or another unit? We will advise which component to check, how to prepare it for shipping and how to pack the parcel safely.
03
We confirm the fault and quote for the work
In the workshop we carry out diagnostics, confirm the source of the problem and define the scope of work. We send a quote for approval. We only start work after your approval.
04
We repair, test and return
We remove the cause of the fault, test the device and send it back safely packed for refitting. Every repair we carry out is covered by a warranty.

Many thanks to the entire OEMatic team for repairing the radio in my Lexus CT. Professional and reliable service. I can wholeheartedly recommend this workshop! Problem: black screen, no working radio, no interaction with the radio at all.

Highly recommended! My OEM JBL amplifier from a Toyota (CHR, 2017) suffered a short circuit, and other audio workshops would not agree to repair it. Here the problem was solved extremely quickly. They received the parcel on Monday, and by Thursday the repaired unit was back with me. Excellent communication at every stage, and most importantly – the price includes a 24-month warranty. Complete professionalism!

A service absolutely worth recommending. After years of problems with the infotainment head unit in my Skoda Superb constantly freezing and resetting, the MIB was finally repaired. The main dealer could only offer a replacement with a new unit for 3500 eur (!), other car audio companies could not help, and OEMatic carried out the repair in 1 day.

I recommend them wholeheartedly….I don’t know how they did it, but they decoded the radio from an Iveco Daily 2020 faster than it takes to pack the parcel with the radio…One workshop promised a lot, but failed and said the radio was only fit for scrap. I highly recommend them — complete professionalism and a good price. Best regards.

I can definitely recommend them. Mr Tomasz repaired my BOSE amplifiers, RNS, NTG navigation units and more. Always 100% successful, fantastic customer approach and a convenient online platform for placing repair orders.

I recommend OEMatic — only 3 days passed from sending the radio to the workshop and having it fitted back in my car. The radio from a Mercedes ML W164 2007 NTG2 BE 6089 had its fault diagnosed extremely quickly, and the repair was carried out just as fast. Communication with Mr Tomasz was excellent, and updates from the workshop on the progress of the repair were sent promptly. This is definitely a workshop other people can learn from. An obvious 5 stars from me.

VW Touran radio, I sent it to the company because the reversing camera was not working and the radio would not turn on. Sent by courier. Diagnosis: no faults. (the fault needs to be looked for elsewhere) The radio was sent back quickly and the company did not charge anything, not even for the return postage. There probably aren’t many honest companies like this left here in Poland. Many thanks.

Definitely recommended. Very fast repair and very good, speedy communication. Information was available at every stage of the repair request process — an online repair management system. The unit (radio) was already meant to be written off and replaced with another used one. Fortunately, I accidentally found the OEMatic blog while looking for a replacement, and it saved me from replacing it with another used unit, which would have been a loss for the appearance (the fronts of the replacements I found were not in such good condition, and all of them were older than my unit from pre-facelift models); the newer ones were more expensive than the repair. So that’s a plus too.

RNS 315 radio with faulty Bluetooth. The radio sounds better than new. Others gave up on the repair, OEMatic handled it efficiently and quickly without any problems. We need more professionals like this. Thank you for the repair.

I left a Honda Jazz radio panel for repair. In addition to the radio, the guys also repaired the CD player at the same price, even though I hadn’t asked them to. I also received spare bulbs for the button backlighting. Very friendly and professional, the radio and player work flawlessly. I recommend them with a clear conscience. Such expertise is rare nowadays.

For a long time I’d been battling an annoying problem in my VW Passat B8 — the car radio kept losing sound. Fortunately, I found OEMatic Car Media Lab and it was a perfect choice! From the first contact it was clear there was professionalism and huge knowledge of factory audio systems. Quick diagnosis and an even quicker (and most importantly: EFFECTIVE!) repair! The result? The radio plays crystal clear, with no dropouts or interruptions. You can tell the fault was removed at the source, not just temporarily masked. If you have any problems with factory audio, navigation or the radio in your car (especially VW, Audi, Skoda!), I definitely recommend OEMatic Car Media Lab. True experts!

The Harman-Kardon amplifier in my BMW F33 was flooded, so I decided to hand it over to OEMatic. A quick check to see whether it could be saved — yes! it could! A few days later the amplifier was back with me after repair.
For a moment I also had doubts whether only the amplifier had been damaged by the flooding, because I lost the ability to set the time and information such as instant fuel consumption or average fuel consumption disappeared; after a phone call I was told that this can happen because of a break in the car’s CAN circuit due to the amplifier being absent.
The theory proved correct, and fitting the already repaired amplifier helped and all the functions returned.
I hope the amplifier will serve for a long time to come and without faults.
I honestly RECOMMEND IT!

A great company, they will help you in any situation when it comes to navigation. Two companies from the Małopolskie region where I live suggested replacing the unit; at the authorised service centre the fault repair would cost 1400 ,- and they helped me fix it, and over the phone 😃

The content of the reviews I read quickly convinced me to have my unit repaired at OeMatic. I expected the highest quality of service at every stage and that is exactly what I received. After the phone call I received all the information needed for shipping by text message. As soon as the workshop received the parcel with the radio, I got a phone call, we agreed the details, I confirmed the price and the repair began. In the afternoon of the next day I was informed that the repair had been completed, I settled the bill and the radio was back with me after 4 days. It seems there is no room for even the slightest shortcoming in this company (such as a delay with a text message). For me, this is the highest quality. Thank you very much for the repair and I wish you success🙂

Professional and reliable service. The fault was initially diagnosed remotely, and the repair cost estimated. The unit was delivered to the workshop and collected remotely by courier. Everything was fast, straightforward and efficient. The car audio came back to life 🙂 I can recommend them with a clear conscience.

Five stars is not enough.. OEMatic solved the problem with a non-working USB port (motherboard repair) in the factory navigation system from a Kia Sportage in express mode. Highly recommended.
After checking the module, we determine whether the radio code and navigation code can be unlocked. We will confirm the repair scope before starting the repair.
What should I send with the enquiry?
Send the removed module only by courier, together with a description of the symptoms. You can also send a photo of the sticker with the part number in advance.
I don't know the part number. How will you check the model?
Send a photo of the label on the module. Based on it, we will verify whether it is PCM1 and give you further instructions.
Will I be charged for diagnostics if I decide not to go ahead?
No. If you decide not to proceed, or if the unit cannot be repaired, or the fault lies outside it, diagnosis and return shipping are free of charge.
Do you issue an invoice and a warranty?
We issue a VAT invoice, and we provide a written warranty for the repair carried out.
