Default Bluetooth for PCM3.0 without aux Input

Hello,

I have a 997.2 without any auxiliary inputs. How do I go about getting a Bluetooth connection that isn’t a crappy radio transmitter? MR12Volt does not say it supports PCM3 in my 997.2 turbo.

Any help is great!

2009 C2S 170K miles

Are you sure? In the cubby at your right elbow, center console, do you have the input jacks for IPod, USB, and another jack? They are hard to see.

I have the same, 2009 without the aux input option, sadly as far as I can tell you have only a few options.
1 - replace the PCM with aftermarket
2 - use one of the radio transmitter options that cuts the antenna signal when it's working to eliminate interference
3 - code up the aux input option via PIWIS getting the code from either a dealer or one of the sites that has cracked the coding algorithms. If you take this route you can get a BT audio mode (typo - should be 'module') from Becker that will plug into the PCM and provide the streaming interface.

If there is a better option I'd love to find it!

BT audio mode? So you can code in to be able to listen to music from your iPhone directly?

also, do the Denison or Mr12Volts not work on PCM3?

Yes - as far as I am aware you still need the AUX input coded up - that is what I was trying to say but for my poor typing above. If you code up the AUX input then use one of these (also a variation is available from Becker) then the BT voice connects to the regular BT for handsfree and the BT A2DP connection is made to this module for streaming music.

It’s not cheap but a few here in the UK have had the OEM kit retrofitted, so maybe worth contacting your local dealer.

What is this and where do I find it.
I have a 2008 997.1
It has a connection for an iPod but can't figure out how to play the music on it.
Any help appreciated..
