Bluetooth Hands Free for a 2001 996 C2
Everyone,
I posted a discussion in the wrong board (Air/Cooled) so I will not repost but here is the solution I want out for others and I believe this is a better board:
I just had a Parrott MK6100 Bluetooth Hands Free Kit installed in my 2001 996 C2 and it is incredible.
I had to buy a Jabra A125s to make my iPhone become A2DP compatible but I am now able to pair the iPhone with the Parrott and achieve hands free phone functionality as well as stream music from my iPhone to the CDR-220 system. This all works through the stereo system in the car. The Parrott when paired uses the PHONE functionality of the CDR-220. I also was able to keep my CD Changer as the Parrott does not use AUX so nothing was sacrificed. The only issues was that the Parrott when streaming can only feed 4 speakers and car has 6 so I gave up the in dash speakers when using the MK6100.
I think this is a GREAT solution for all Porsche owners until Porsche makes a Bluetooth Hands free system. I am going back to have the LCD moved from just on right of steering column on dash to down by the stick below the AC unit. I had the MIC placed by the center map lights.
COST:
Parrott MK6100 $269.00

Jabra A125s $36.00 (ebay)

Installation $250.00 Elite Sound and Security (Coral Gables, FL)

Apple iPhone $$$$$$ (don’t ask)
Hope others are able to use this and spend less time researching a viable solution to BT in the Porsche. My installer said that even though I am the non fiber optic head unit that the solution will work with the Fiber Optic head units as well.
Happy Bluetoothing……
