My friend is looking at a 2005 Porsche 911S on Ebay. I noticed on the pics that there is no phone button on the PCM unit, Is this normal since I have never seen this before. The car does have Bose and Navigation. Is this an early model? If this is a normal model what is it called so he can avoid it because he is planning on installing a tooki bluetooth system.

the PCM has probably been replaced with an early version unit, if i had to guess the parts dept made the error and the tech installing it didnt notice

Do you mean the "TEL" button between the "Sound and Mail" buttons?
The Tel button is std on all PCM units

Thats what i thought but its not there nor is the sims card drawer. I will try to post a pic later

If there was no 'TEL' marked on that button, do you remember what was printed on it?

With best regards,

FWIW, the earliest cars (I have one) cannot be retrofitted with the phone module. But I think there is a still a TEL button - but I would have to go look to be sure.

PCM faceplates with telephone controls started to show up on 997's in Nov 2004

anyone have a pic of the early PCM's? Mine was replaced with one that has the sim card slot. I dont think the early ones had it.

I did a quick lookup on the famous auction site, and found some 2005 997s for sale. In their pictures, I did see a different button layout of the PCM (compares to the current 997 PCM). The row of buttons read as: --

MAIN-AUDIO-SOUND-ORG-VOICE-INFO-TRIP-NAVI

- And yes, it doesn't have the SIM slot about the REPEAT button.

- Also no SOS button on top of the PCM dash.

- Also the top two buttons on the left-top-corner marked as CD and CDC instead of the phone logos.

That's all I noticed. Just FYI

Thats exactly what I'm talking about. So does that means that this is an early production date? Also would he still be able to install the tooki bluetooth to it?
