Another iPhone audio post
Totally loving the new GTS.
Got the iPhone bluetooth to work for phone, but not for music. I try to find Aux BT but it's not there. Furthermore, when plugged into the USB post, also no audio.
It's a 2012 with PCM 3.0 Universal audio interface (Aux-In, USB, iPod®),Bluetooth® hands-free mobile phone connection, and Bose.
Any thoughts?

i'm pretty sure the pcm 3.0 in the 997 doesn't support the BT audio profile. Phone works fine.
Just plug the iPhone into the iPod connector. It works fine. You'll be able to charge your phone, play music, and use phone. I have a dock extension cable and keep the phone in the front center console near the shifter.

See this thread. This is the cable you need. It should have come with the audio interface if you have it. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...pod-cable.html

There is no audio streaming over bluetooth profile support in the PCM3.
Its something Porsche could add with only a software update, I suspect, but they will likely not.
To access the music on the iphone you need to use the ipod interface on the UAI you indicated the car has, or set up the iphone to share its contents as a USB hard drive and then use the USB input of the UAI.
A third option is to buy a USB driven bluetooth dongle that supports bluetooth streaming and you can then stream into the USB input port. There are several models out there and a post somewhere on the subject.

Just got it to work in my 991. Pretty swell. Initially, it paired and my iPhone was streaming but the PCM didn't play anything. After turning the car on and off again (yes, like the IT Crowd recommends), all was fine.

Typically BT audio is not as good as a direct cable connection. The DIN port is there to be used for that.
Someone with a 991 reported that the BT audio is mediocre compared to a direct cable connection with an iPod.

I got the correct Y cable along with a short iPhone extension and a Proclip console phone holder. Now I can just drop the phone in the holder and I'm good for charging and music.

Does your cable work for charging also?

Looks like that extension you are using has some very flakey manufacturing as a good percentage of the customers are ending up with units that don't pass through all the signal lines. How hard is it to make a pass through cable? I guess hard if you try to make it for 4 cents.
