Porsche mobile phone preparation v Telephone module...

[sidicks]

Can someone please explain the difference between the 'Mobile phone preparation' and 'Telephone module' for a 991 GT3? Price is something like £400 v £550.

I have an iphone5, if that makes any difference?!

Cheers

The latter has rSAP, which the iPhone, currently, does not allow.

Telephone module for PCM.
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience
and excellent reception. By inserting
your SIM card directly into
PCM’s integrated SIM card reader,
calls can be made using either the
hands-free facility or the optional
Bluetooth® handset. For even more
convenience, the Bluetooth®
capability of a mobile phone can
be used to make calls via the
SIM Access Profile (SAP).* Once
automatic pairing is complete, the
mobile phone’s aerial is switched
off to conserve battery charge
and the phone operates via the car
aerial. Depending on the mobile
phone model, this gives access
not only to the numbers on the
SIM card but also to the phone’s
internal memory. Also, depending
on the phone, it can be controlled
using PCM or the voice control
system, without ever leaving your
pocket.


Mobile phone preparation
for PCM and CDR-30.
A mobile phone preparation kit
is available on request for
Bluetooth® connection of mobile
phones which only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP)*.
For connection by HFP, PCM or
CDR-30 acts merely as a handsfree
system. Here, too, the mobile
phone can remain tucked away.
Only the basic phone functions
can be operated using PCM or
CDR-30. The GSM connection is
established via the aerial of the
mobile phone**. The mobile phone
preparation kit is available with or
without cradle.


Basically mobile phone preparation is for bluetooth off your phone. The telephone module otherwise needs you to insert your SIM in the head unit. Fortunately mobile phone preparation is just a coding change I believe, but you still need the telephone module I think.
