Does PCM 2 have Bluetooth? If not, you're into wiring in adapters, including plugging into the MOST, which is a pain. And then coding the car, so it sees the phone properly. Unless you're wedded to the nostalgic, maybe replace the whole thing

SIM card, I don't think you can get duplicates these days, those were a 2G thing, and 4/5G doesn't support them.

Got you, thanks Marcus. Don't think it has proper Bluetooth as you say and might need that MOST adapter mentioned above...

SIM wise I guess the only way to make it work then is to take your SIM out of your phone and put it in the PCM slot. Would at least stop you messing around with emails/whatsapps while driving

On our 2008 we just bought a Tesco PAYG SIM card. Obviously the car gets it's own number but only my wife and I ever call the "car" when we know the other is driving. You can dial out any number of course.

That's what I did on my 2005 Cayenne which had been upgraded to PCM2.1, I carry a work phone & juts used my personal SIM in the SIM draw. I think the first BT in Porsche was 2008/9 and even then it was A. an option & B. poor.

At a time when a Nissan Micro had BT as standard.

The persistence with the daft SIM slot was bizarre for many years
