    That's the phone prep for Europe. You will need a phone specific plug/cradle from THB (which you can order through your porsche dealer). Due to patent problems it is currently not available in the US.

    Re: Phone Prep

    Thanks for that, has anybody got the hands free option upgrade from Porsche & what phone did you use, notice two vents behind the steering wheel which I think contains contains the mic. Was thinking of the Nokia 616 with optional phone handset & a Nokia 8800 mobile & two sims. I need to do a bit more research.

    Did you get BOSE? The mic holes on the steering column might be for that? - the Audio Pilot thing. Don't know if they use this mic for the phone as well

    Re: Phone Prep

    I ordered the hands free option but haven't decided yet which kind of phone system I will use. Nokia 616 gets high marks for its SIM-Access-Profile in our press but I just cannot imagine to install a gray display on my 987 sand beige-leathered dashboard... Maybe I will use a classic system from THB or Cullmann or FWD.

    BTW: Thanks for the pic. Now I know where the console is located. My dealer had no pics...

    Re: Phone Prep

    No BOSE, just upgraded standard Porsche stereo. In the manual it says there is an optional hands free solution available from your OPC, still waiting for mine to get back to me on what that is. THB have some nice solutions but still considering the Nokia 616 with handset HSU-4. Collecting my car next Saturday.

    Looking really nice. At least your car has a nice view of the countryside while it waits!

    Re: Phone Prep

    Well, that's interesting--the UK Boxster also has a different steering wheel than the US Boxster??

    Yeah, it's on the wrong side as well!

    Seriously, I'm sure you have the Sports Steering Wheel options over there, don't you? What's different?
