FAQ
Questions about information on the mobile phone
Can I access the telephone numbers and call
lists stored on my mobile phone from PCM?
Access to the phone book and call lists
of a mobile phone depends on its range of
functions. With some devices, for example, it is
not possible to access contacts (address book)
stored on the device itself. Others may transfer
this information but only provide one phone
number per name. Another possibility is that the
user must confirm the PCM request by pressing
a button on the phone. If this confirmation is
not provided, neither the phone book nor call
lists will be transferred.
Why is my phone book not displayed
correctly in my car?
The transfer and display of your phone book by
PCM depends on your individual mobile phone.
Please note the following points:
The maximum number of phone book
contacts in cars with PCM is limited
to 4,000
There is a detailed functional overview of mobile phone models that have been compatibility-tested by Porsche, starting on page 45. An explanation of the terms used here can be found in the glossary, starting on page 40.

Some mobile phones sort the contacts as
'first name, surname' or 'surname, first
name'. As a result, your PCM phone book
listing may differ from that of your mobile
phone
Some phone models only transfer one
number per name. In this case, information
about the type of number is often also
missing
Some mobile phones also have problems
transferring data when special characters
are used
Some contacts may be duplicated if they
are stored on both the SIM card and the
device itself
The phone book in PCM may be empty
if your mobile phone has confirmed a data
transfer without sending any data
Linked contacts are displayed as a single
entry on the mobile phone but multiple
entries are transferred to PCM. As PCM
does not support linked contacts, it
displays each entry separately
◀ CONTENTS
Can I transfer contact pictures from
the mobile phone to the car?
Yes you can. However, this function must also
be supported by the mobile phone.
Can I use addresses from the phone book
to get directions?
Yes you can also do this. Search for the required
name in the phone book and select the address
in 'Details'. PCM will then display a detailed
map and you can begin route guidance to the
selected address.
What is the maximum number of phone book
contacts that I can transfer to PCM?
PCM's phone book memory can store a
maximum of 4,000 telephone numbers.
Can I edit or add to the contacts
in my device's phone book from the car?
No. You must edit the contacts on the phone
itself. You can, however, transfer the updated
phone book to the car for immediate use, by
means of the 'Transfer phone book' function.
How many contacts from my mobile phone call
lists can be transferred to PCM?
PCM can accept a maximum of 60 contacts per
call list.
Why can't I see the calls made on my mobile
phone while driving?
If a mobile phone is connected via the SIM
Access Profile (SAP), it will not recognise or
store any calls made while external SIM access
is enabled.
