Porsche GSM phone option
Being new to the forums, I assume some one else has already addressed this issue. In any case, I stopped by ATT to get a SIM card for the car. Works great some areas but in others where my Razr is showing four good bars, it can not find the network. Any adjustment, setting, etc.? How about an auxilary antenna?

The problem you describe seems to occur in some places, but not others, and based on my experience is related to the ATT/Cingular network. Don't know where you are, but the PCM phone and ATT seems to be a bad combination in Texas. You might try doing what I just did, ie try out a T-Mobile sim card.

It may be because the phone inside the car is not quad band GSM whereas the razr is.
I often had this interesting dynamic in the USA where one of my GSM phones (quad) would have full service but another phone (tri band europe/asian based phones) using the same SIM card and network would not.
This usually only occurs in suburban/rural areas where coverage is shoddy to begin with.
Especially on long freeways... often long stretches of highway to the hamptons get no GSM service at all which is quite scary.
