    CarreraS Modifcations Pat 1 -- Blue tooth

    There are a couple of things that I thought Porsche could have done to make the car a better daily driver. One of those was integrating Blue tooth. So even though Porsche did not do it I got my local custom shop to install a Parrot 3100 in what I think some of you might be interested in. There has been a lot of discussion about the sports Chronometer in the dash or as some people call it "the wart" I like the Parrot Blue tooth because it has caller ID and Auto answer. In addition in syncs up any changes you have made in the directory of the phone every time you get into the car. We used the Pause pin out in the radio harness to pause audio when the phone rings and you can see the message "external phone active" displays when you are making or receiving a call. We used the center speaker in the dash exclusively for the blue tooth hands free which works out very well. The Sports chronometer is actually still in the dash hidden under the Parrot. We did that because the MOST bus expects for the clock to be there and if it is not connected you get errors. Anyway I think they did a very nice job installing and it works great with my Motorola Razor (I can comment on other phones). This is installment one of my Modifications as we also had to come up with an idea on how to integrate my IPOD without an FM modulation. I will discuss that as soon as I have taken more pictures.




    Re: CarreraS Modifcations Pat 1 -- Blue tooth

    That's pretty neat. I got the GSM phone module that also works great, but it would have been nice to have bluetooth. How did you get PCM to display "external phone active?" Did you use preexisting wiring that was meant for the now defunct "Porsche Cell Solution?"

    Re: CarreraS Modifcations Pat 1 -- Blue tooth

    Did you think of sticking it anywhere else? Good idea, I think I just like the clock....

    Re: CarreraS Modifcations Pat 1 -- Blue tooth

    Very creative. It is all about individualization. I personlly like the round clock better, but very cool idea. Who did the tech work, do you have to be a high-end stereo installer as well as a computer nerd to perform this opperation? Can you have bluetooth in multiple cars?

    Re: CarreraS Modifcations Pat 1 -- Blue tooth

    I used the search here on Rennteam to find out how to pause the audio. You use pin 3 on the radio harness. If you apply voltage to it it pauses and you get that message.

    What does this do to your warranty?

    Re: CarreraS Modifcations Pat 1 -- Blue tooth

    I like the clock too. I just could not find a place that it was visable and safe to look at while driving. That seemed like the logical place

    Re: CarreraS Modifcations Pat 1 -- Blue tooth

    It really is just one wire on the radio, Power and the speaker leads to the center speaker. The clock leather piece has 4 tabs(2 on each side) and you can push in with a screw driver and it pops off the dash(Do this carefully) I could put it back to stock in an hour. I had it by my dealer and they thought it was pretty sweet.

    Re: CarreraS Modifcations Pat 1 -- Blue tooth

    wOw... clever idea!

    Although I would miss the cars conversation piece [what's that thing sticking out?] it is clever use of space with what you want.

    Re: CarreraS Modifcations Pat 1 -- Blue tooth

    I thought the installer did a nice job fabricating the piece. I wish the Parrot was oval. But it looks good regardess.

    Re: CarreraS Modifcations Pat 1 -- Blue tooth

    Hey,

    I saw your 997 at the BBQ that Benchmark had. Hugo showed me, from outside, the bluetooth modification. He also said you got your iPod hooked up in there. From afar it looked amazing.

    Re: CarreraS Modifcations Pat 1 -- Blue tooth

    Ya as you rightly pointed out the guys at Benchmark motoring did the work. They also did my 2001 Twin Turbo. High quality custom work. I will show you the IPOD and Stereo upgrade next

    Re: CarreraS Modifcations Pat 1 -- Blue tooth

    Looking forward to it!
