I'm 'phone ignorant' sorry (our other cars have their own systems, etc) ... but the wife's new 997.2 was ordered with PCM Voice Control (671) and Bluetooth interface (619) ... and the spec says the phone needs to support BlueTooth HandsFree Profile 1.1 or higher.
Any suggestion on a good phone that fits that capability? (small for the purse
)
And .... is a phone that has BlueTooth capability the same as a phone that supports BlueTooth HandsFree Profiles? TIA for any suggestions

[QUOTE=Minok;6191052]SIM - you have TWO options:
1) Car phone prep - where you put your phones SIM card (or a clone of the SIM card) into the SIM slot on the PCM. Your car them becomes a clone of your own phone... its a stand alone phone (your cell isn't needed).
2) Bluetooth with SAP (SIM Access Profile). Again, the phone is the car, however, rather than you putting a SIM into the car, the bluetooth connection reads out the SIM from your cell phone and uses that to make the call, but uses the car's antenna, amp, electronics for the call.
You must have a cell phone with a SIM card to use these two methods and the two methods are two different phone preps/ options from the factory.
Third, phone option: No SIM. Then there's the regular bluetooth HFP (hands free profile) which does not use any SIM, but just connects to the cell phone, and the car is only the speaker, mic and dialing/keypad system. Any bluetooth phone can work in this capacity these days.QUOTE]
Thanks to Minok and others here trying to help and make this easier to understand.
Well since the goal in my case is function w/997.2 PCM (full function) .... SIM approaches are not the ticket ..... and, it sounds like 'simple' HFP capability will not be a problem with any current Blue Tooth-capable phone ..... The challenge will be sorting out the phone(s) that successfully communicate all function to Porsche's new PCM .... including PBAP.
