5. Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Can I use the wireless active handset to make calls
outside the car also?
The wireless active handset of the PCM with telephone
module is designed for use inside the car. It can be used
outside the car, although only within a very small radius
as the Bluetooth connection with the vehicle must be
®
maintained.
Can I transfer the phone book to the PCM with
telephone module?
Yes. The phone book contacts on a SIM card inserted
into the PCM or on a mobile phone connected via the
Bluetooth SIM Access Profile are transferred to the
®
PCM each time after system startup. The transfer of the
contacts stored on the device is, however, dependent
on the mobile phone's range of functions and on the
Bluetooth profile currently activated on the phone.
®
Please note here too that on some device models, the
request by the PCM must be confirmed by pressing a
button on the phone. If this confirmation is not provided,
the phone book will not be transferred. This confirmation
must be repeated each time the ignition is switched on.
You can avoid it, however, by authorising the PCM in the
mobile phone's device list. This device list is found under
the Bluetooth settings on most phones. Please note that
®
some mobile phones with the Android
may display the request for authorisation to transfer the
phone book and call lists simply in the form of an icon in
the header on the phone screen. In this case, touch the
icon and drag it down on the touchscreen to enable you
to confirm the request.
Why is my call number transferred although the call
number transfer function on my mobile phone is
switched off?
The call number transfer setting depends on the device
involved. If your mobile phone is connected to the
PCM via the SIM Access Profile, only the SIM card of
your mobile phone is used; the call itself takes place via
the PCM. However, you have the option of deactivating
the call number transfer setting in the PCM as well
('PHONE/OPTION/SET PHONE/Call Settings').
Can I send and receive text messages with the PCM
with telephone module?
Yes. Text messages can be sent and received using the
PCM with telephone module if the mobile phone allows
this when connected via the SIM Access Profile (SAP).
To simplify the creation of text messages, you can call
up templates that also contain information from the
navigation system (e.g. time of arrival or current
position), if the PCM features a navigation function. You
can transfer position information of this type received
by text messages to the navigation system and use it for
route guidance.
Why can't I see all of the text messages from the
mobile phone in the car?
The Bluetooth
the text message function, permits access to the SIM
card of the connected mobile phone. Consequently, only
text messages stored on the SIM card are visible in the
car.
Why doesn't my mobile phone show text messages
I have received in the car after the SIM Access
connection is deactivated?
Mobile phones often show only the text messages stored
in the memory of the phone itself. In this type of phone,
operating system a text message received in the car is not shown in the
®
message list of your mobile phone because the message
is stored on the SIM card of your phone and not the
phone itself.
If I delete a text message in the car, is it
automatically deleted on the mobile phone also?
Yes. A text message deleted on the PCM is physically
deleted from the mobile phone's SIM card.
Can I also receive multimedia messages with
the PCM with telephone module?
No. The PCM with telephone module does not support
multimedia messaging.
