You have BT in the vehicle....leave the BB out of sight. Mine usually sits in the storage cubby ahead of shifter, or on the seat beside me. No need to mount. Just be sure to pair it properly and you can work most of it from your PCM controls.

I just wish I had that option on 997.1... even so, I just put my BB in that storage and use by BT headset.

I find the best way to mount my BlackBerry is from behind. Element of surprise is best when mounting a BlackBerry.

It is illegal to use a Blue Tooth headset while driving a Porsche 911.
Leave the headset to the Boxter dudes who never get laid (by women anyway).

No ear piece needed just sync your phone to PCM throw the phone into the center hole in front of shifter and forget about don't need to pick up phone. Mine works very well wish I had it in my DD

Porscheman1963 Love the Interior of your car. Great color with the wood trim package!!!!

I put one of these in my 997.1, pretty clean solution (if you want some kind of mount for a cell phone) and removable with no damage. Note the mounting base is the key component, onto which you mount a holder for the phone - my mount is much smaller and less intrusive than the hands free kit shown in the lower photo.
