Have got the following problems with the PCM (the car is out of warranty)and I wondered if someone can advise and/or point me in the right direction:
1:Telephone cuts out, mid call, intermittently (v annoying!). At times it works without fault.I have tried a different SIM card (different tel number) but same problem
2: When I try to play the CD it says "No CD" but the CD magazine is full.
Greatly appreciate any thoughts or pointers.
PS: Car is 53 plate so presumably PCM2.

That is definately part of the thought process!! Due a service soon, so will ask for a full check with a view to buying a warranty!

PCM is excluded from the Warranty ... Renewed mine the other day and read the exclusions so I know this for a fact ... frown

I had this on my 996tt. Only the "NO CD" aspect though.

I couldn't find out how to reset the CD changer, so I just disconnected the DIN plug, the phono jacks and the power cord and left it for a minute or 2.

Put the whole lot back and then checked it - all ok.

Takes about 10 minutes total, IIRC.

Can't help with the phone module problem - sorry.

Best of luck.
