Hello everyone,

I have a early 05 PCM 2.1 that has the cd/cdc buttons. I would like to upgrade to the same version that has the phone buttons instead. My question is can I swap the radios then have the dealership activate it? I want to switch so I can add Bluetooth ability. Thanks in advance. Oh and I have a 05 C2S

 

Early PCM's w/ no phone capability can be replaced w/ one that has phone. New or dealer supplied ones are expensive and ebay or used buys can be a 'roll of dice' in terms of operability/reliability. Most likely you'll need the PIWIS to integrate the new PCM into the loop which means a trip to the 'stealer' (ops I meant dealer) or Indie.

I also have an early PCM in my 2005 997S. I use a BlueAnt device for my bluetooth 'hands-free' phone (iPhone 4S). A lot less expensive and simpler then changing out your PCM.

 

Oh ok thanks for the info!! So I've heard mixed reviews about the parrot and blue ant. I will check into them. Which version do you have?? Thanks

 

BlueAnt S4 Bluetooth Car Speakerphone Kit - 50 bucks at Amazon.com

 

In case anyone else is looking into this option. Check out the Motorola Roadster 2. The main difference is it has a FM modulator. Which means you can hear your callers over your in car speaker system as well as stream audio say sirius satellite via iphone as well. cost about 20$ more on amazon than the Blueant S4 but i think it's worth it. Just a FYI for anyone else looking.
