Online weather
When PCM is connected to the Aha Radio
server by a smartphone with the Aha Radio
app, it is possible to retrieve the latest weather
information from the CustomWeather service.
Possible locations for weather querying include
the locality near the car or destination or any
location that you choose to enter. Weather
forecasts for the next three days are available.
Pairing
Before a connection can be established
between two Bluetooth® devices, they have
to undergo a one-off registration or ‘pairing’
process for their own security. To begin this
process, a Bluetooth® search (inquiry) to find
all devices within range is initiated on one of
the devices. A list of visible devices is then
displayed (device class permitting). Once the
desired device has been selected, it will be
necessary to enter the same numeric code or
‘passkey’ into both devices. If both devices to
be paired support Secure Simple Pairing
(PCM as of November 2012), it will only be a
case of confirming whether the six-digit codes
displayed on both devices are identical. This
reduced effort for the user is intended to
simplify the pairing process. If pairing was
successful, the devices will now be authorised
to exchange data (either system or user data,
e. g. voice, audio or video) unless the pairing
is deleted on either device.
PCM with telephone module¹⁾
PCM with telephone module is a permanently
installed car phone that not only supports
operation with a SIM card (inserted in PCM or
accessed via Bluetooth® SIM Access Profile,
SAP) but also offers hands-free use with the
ability to control various functions supported by
the Bluetooth® Handsfree Profile (HFP). Pairing
of a mobile phone that can use either profile
for connecting to the car takes place preferably
by means of a 16-digit Bluetooth® code for
the more sophisticated SIM Access Profile
(SAP, PCM from November 2012 onwards
supports Secure Simple Pairing, where the user
is no longer required to enter a Bluetooth® code
manually). If the connection via the SIM Access
Profile (SAP) fails, an alternative connection is
always established via the less sophisticated
Handsfree Profile (HFP mode). In this case, the
range of supported functions is reduced to the
scope of functions offered by mobile phone
preparation (no text messaging, no Bluetooth®
headset). PCM with telephone module supports
the following functions in principle:
pairing of a Bluetooth® mobile phone
with search initiated from the car
automatic connection of a paired device
at system start-up
basic phone functions
(making, receiving and ending calls)
hands-free capability via the in-car
audio system
status displays such as network name
and signal quality
transfer of phone book entries from the
mobile phone (contacts on the SIM card
and address book contacts from the device)
or from the inserted SIM card
transfer of call lists from the mobile phone
compiling of call lists
transfer of e-mails and text messages
from mobile phone via Bluetooth® Message
Access Profile (MAP, only in HFP mode)
sending and receiving of text messages
(not in HFP mode)
sending of DTMF tones
starting and ending a second call,
call toggling and conference call
use of the Bluetooth® handset to
hold conversations in privacy mode
(not in HFP mode)
use of Bluetooth® headsets
(optional, not in HFP mode)
Glossary
1) In the Panamera models, the Bluetooth® handset is included with PCM with telephone module.
