What is Bluetooth®?
Bluetooth® is an industry standard for the
wireless networking of electronic devices over
short distances of up to 10 metres. It allows
mobile and stationary electronic devices to
communicate wirelessly with each other, with
Bluetooth® as the interface.
When will Bluetooth® technology be
available in my favourite model?
Bluetooth® technology is already available
in all Porsche models. You just need to order
the mobile phone preparation option or the
telephone module¹⁾ (for PCM only).
1) In the Panamera models, the Bluetooth® handset is included with PCM with telephone module.
There is a detailed functional overview of mobile phone models that have been compatibility-tested by Porsche, starting on page 47. An explanation of the terms used here can be found in the glossary starting on page 42.
What are the Bluetooth® functions in
Porsche cars from November 2012?
In Porsche cars since November 2012 it is
possible to transfer SMS and e-mail messages
from the mobile phone to PCM. This function
enables the customer to read messages stored
in the phone directly on the PCM screen. To use
this feature, the mobile phone must support
the Bluetooth® Message Access Profile (MAP).
Other new functions that work with Bluetooth®
are web radio streaming, online weather updates
and online searches for points of interest in
conjunction with the online services option.
To be able to use any of these functions, you
will need a recent Android® phone with the
necessary app (Aha Radio). iOS® devices can
also use this function. However they must be
connected to the car via a cable.
The pairing process has also been simplified.
Secure Simple Pairing can be used with
compatible mobile phones.
Which profile does my mobile phone use if it
supports both the SIM Access Profile (SAP)
and the Handsfree Profile (HFP)?
If a mobile phone supports the SIM Access
Profile (SAP), PCM will try to connect to this
profile. If the connection attempt fails or if
this profile is not supported, a connection will
be established via the Handsfree Profile (HFP).
This can also occur during an active call or
when the external SIM access on the mobile
phone is deactivated.
A special case arises when the mobile phone
additionally supports the transfer of messages
via the Message Access Profile (MAP) or
has the Aha Radio app installed. In these
cases, preference is given to a connection
by Handsfree Profile (HFP) because, for
technical reasons, this is the only mode in
which messages can be transferred and
the new Aha Radio functions can be used
on PCM.
