OK - I have what I believe to be a PCM1 unit fitted into an '02 996. I recently discovered, after loads of searching that I infact didn't have a missing sim card try but instead just needed a SIM adapter for credit card sized entry so I am now able to use the phone. So, having asked the Porsche dealer and the place I bought it from for info and they all got it wrong I thought I would ask the people on this forum as they actually seem to know.
1. Is there any way to add bluetooth to the unit (i.e. not an external parrot kit for example)
2. How do I know what software version I have and how do I update it
3. Is there a list anywhere of what the updates provide
4. Can postcode searching be added
5. Is there a simple way to mute the call from my end when using the PCM phone
6. Someone on one of the forums mentioned a"becker" unit - what is this and what benefits does it give, and where can I see one on line and get a price
Any answers of help on any of the above would be much appreciated.

Wow that was quick - thanks for the reply - what's a giff gaff by the way.
On the SIM card front I found a holder on the net. I tried using one of the old bits that a new sim card com in but it kept falling out. he new one works a treat but it is a paiin taking it in and out of the phone. I contacted both O2 and Vdafone and neither would let me have a duplicate.

Majordad - this is a PCM 1 (not sure if there is more than one type) but this doesn't have a SIM door or tay - it just has a slot that takes the full credit card sized SIM card.
On the whole it's a bit rubbish the PCM1. No postcodes, no bluetooth, and no way of muting from your end. A product of its generation I suppose.
