I don't know how much this has to do with the quality of the Bluetooth connection, however. The Bluetooth pairing between my phone and the car is trouble free, and there's no noticeable difference in audio quality between the Bluetooth and USB connections.

yup. something like 4 years ago now after we were all b*tching about them not being in the last RS. can't recall the full details of the conversation but think he played the idk card and said it would be set straight with the next one. might've been something savy pinned him down on during their face to face.
recall at the time the euros were pretty in the dark about the serious US tracking scene. think your little sebring come-to-jesus event with the monkey cleared up that misperception

Monkey showing up at Sebring DE was very cool. He's fast too
I think he like my dually better than the RS though...
Instead we should have had words about never selling our 4.0's.....
Half the US delivered RS at one track in the Winter and 48hoursatsebring must have been noticed by Porsche spies on this forum. Like Mike in CA.
Winterefest Jan 7-11. Do it.Peter, you DO NOT need additional options for your current phone to connect to the car via Bluetooth for cell service or audio. That functionality is standard. (You do need PCM/NAV which is available when you order the Sound Package if you want the audio part).
The early 2014 cars required $0 option 619 (Mobile Phone Prep) to pair a handset with the car but that is no longer the case with the 2015's.
The $265 Telephone Module option is only required if you want to install a separate SIM card in your dash for a second cellular line. The $665 Telephone Module with Bluetooth Handset option also throws in an additional handset on top of that.
To repeat, if your current cell phone is Bluetooth equipped you don't need any of the above options to interface with the car for cell service.

I mean Mike in CA
So I'll probably order the $265.00 extra SIM card option and never get around to actually get AT&T to send me the extra GSM card ;-)

sprint/att/Verizon ect ect will provide a duplicate SIM card for someone in this situation so that you don't have to get a 2nd line in your car? I would add the $265 option to my build if I can get the 2nd identical SIM so my number stays the same in the car.
can anyone shed light on this? thanks!

I'm starting to think that front section is a good idea, anyone know if its an easy add on, easy removal or is it similar to installing the back section? It also looks like it wouldn't be dangerous as it isn't that close to your head........I could be wrong, anyone seen this on previous iterations or in ROW?

Seems generally accepted, but remains unproven. I'm curious as well. Need to start pricing them on Tire rack..

The front section is available in ROW land. Slip (RL member) has ordered this and shortly to have it fitted. Im not sure on the legality of using it on the road but with an exemption is it possible in my country....

can anyone at least confirm that the phone modules offered are 100% useless unless you can get that 2nd SIM or add a 2nd line for the car only?????
just doesn't seem well thought out by Porsche if this is the situation.
I mean how could you offer and charge for these things in an entire country, USA, at that, and not support it or even explain how to use it. I mean wont they sell more of these and make more money if they convey these things.
I'm literally not going to spend more because I cant figure this out. Porsche youre loosing some potential $ on me. help!!!

What I don't think you can do with most carriers is get a second SIM card to plug into that slot in the dash with the SAME number that you already have on your existing cell phone.
If all you want to do is use your existing Bluetooth phone and have it interface with the car, you don't NEED any of these options.

With the Telephone Module option, you can definitely add a second cellular service, with a different number exclusively for the car. There's a slot in the dash that will accommodate the SIM card for that second number. If you also want another handset for the car to go along with your new second number, you can get the Telephone Module plus Bluetooth handset option. I suppose these options might appeal to some people.

Who has a separate phone number in the car?!
