5. Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
[ 2 ] Frequently asked questions about preparation for
mobile phone (general)
Can I also use the preparation for mobile phone
without a Bluetooth compatible mobile phone?
®
No, this is not possible.
Can I use the preparation for mobile phone with
any Bluetooth mobile phone?
®
A basic requirement for compatibility of your mobile
phone with the phone preparation is the support of the
Bluetooth Handsfree Profile (HFP).
®
The mobile phone compatibility list at www.porsche.com
gives an overview of phone models that Porsche has
tested for compatibility with the preparation for mobile
phone. Even if you cannot find your mobile phone in the
list, it may still offer limited compatibility with the
preparation for mobile phone.
Why do mobile phones differ in terms of their
operation or functions?
The implementation of the Bluetooth
vary among manufacturers, on individual phone models,
and even in the different firmware versions for the same
phone. As a result, your mobile phone's behaviour when
used in the car may differ from that of other mobile
phones and you may not be able to use all the options
provided by your CDR-31/PCM with preparation for
mobile phone. You can find information on the range
of functions available on the devices recommended
by Porsche in the mobile phone compatibility list at
the beginning of this brochure.
Why is a mobile phone's firmware so important?
New mobile phone firmware versions frequently not only
offer new functions, but also rectify bugs from old
firmware versions. You should therefore make sure that
the firmware on your phone is as up-to-date as possible.
It is, however, possible that individual functions may
behave differently with a new firmware version than
before.
What do I need to do to connect my phone
with the car?
Before the phone can be connected with the car, it
requires a one-off registration or 'pairing' process that
protects the security of the device. You will find infor-
mation on this pairing process in the pairing instructions
or at www.porsche.com. If there is a Bluetooth
phone paired with the car, the phone will be automati-
cally searched for and connected each time the ignition
is switched on. It is important for both pairing and
operation that the Bluetooth
phone and also in the car. Bluetooth

standard tends to process. If pairing is initiated by the mobile phone,
