The log book etc says it is, but I will have to check the paint code tonight now to make sure

Specs wise, it has a fair few things.
Sports Chrono,
adaptive seats,
sunroof (think this is standard for uk cars, not seen one without)
rear parking sensors,
rear wash wipe,
leather seats, door cards, head lining in colour to order (original owner supplied a diagram as to what they wanted in qhich colour)
leather a/b/c pillars in black,
leather crested arm rest,
multifunction steering wheel,
rear badge delete

I am sure there were a few others, but can't recall now. Would be easier to post the option codes

I spent all last nmight reading the manuals. I didnt realise only the passneger mirror dips in reverse, and then only if the mirror switch is set to it.
Started to glaze over part way through the PCM manual, so still not sure how some of that works.

At some point I need to get my iphone to link to the car, but will do a search
before asking loads of daft questions, as I doubt I will be the first to ask them

Congrats - nicely configured.

Congratulation, great car. I can see why you fell in love with the color combo. 07 PCM is not Bluetooth capable without an aftermarket module, mod bridge makes one. IF the PCM is phone capable I believe u have to insert a sim.

Thanks ken.
Yes it has the phone stuff. I was hoping I can add a lead or module. Not looked into it yet.
Don't really want to go with a parot device that needs attaching to the dash as I would prefer it all looks integrated.

I suppose the other option is put a pre-pay sim in the car and divert calls. I assume that is how its meant to be used ?

I've been on the fence for the last three months since purchasing my 2006 997T. I want hands free and audio streaming. Dension seems the best bet but haven't looked into Mobridge in detail yet.

Alternative is to replace the PCM but it seems too hard and moves further away from being able to retain functionality of the steering wheel controls.

Thanks for that, been having a good read. I didn't realise it was so complex (and expensive) to get the phone to work !
It is interesting to see that in the USA people seem to prefer the Dension that Eric supplies, yet in the UK people are having issues with it. It is tricky to tell why though.
The mobridge gets equally mixed feedback.
I was expecting a lead to be much less money, but didn't realise it had to be a linked into the fibre network.

In practice, for the number of times I use the phone in the car, I don't feel the need to spend ~£500 on one of these. I think a second sim will probably do me.
As for streaming music, I can live without that too.
