problems pairing a Bt Android device

My car is a 997 MKII and I'm having problems connecting my Huawei P8 Lite smartphone to PCM 3 via BT.
Anyone can say if this cell phone is compatible with PCM 3?
Thank you.

Practically all. Read the manual and follow instructions to the letter. You will get a code to input on the cel.

I did so, and my cell phone is on the PCM list.
But i can't go on with the profile.

What are you trying to do, it can only do voice calls. Not music

I'm looking for Voice calls.
Porsche PCM only allow this.
I saw on my cell phone that I could (should?) set a profile allowing auto hands free operations.
I'll try this.

Surfing online I found a document listing compatible mobile phones via BT connection, and Huawei doesn't appear.

Huawei is the 2nd or 3rd smartphone manufacturer in the world, and I can't believe or understand why their mobile phones are not listed there!

SOLVED.

A simple call to local PC to discover with VIN number that phone module was simply not installed in the car.

Installation cost not affordable, about 1.000 $, so I will not do it.

The Local PC answer to my problem was wrong.
Probably the car had the BT feature installed later by the prevoius owner .
The vendor told me that he paired his iphone with my car and it worked fine with hands free conversations.


So I still have the problem.


Can anyone help me, pls?

If you know anyone with an iPhone, you could test that - or some other phone. There are no "settings" in the car, so if it doesn't work, you probably have to get a phone that works.
