Where is the phone module located?

[Blob]

Hi guys,

I have just got my first Porsche (996 C4S) and I am loving it!

Can anyone tell me where the Phone module is located? I have PCM 2 with CD Changer and have fitted a Dension 500S BT which has been quite a trying experience (I once swore never to use Dension products again and am beginning to wish I had stood by that!)

I need to "loop out" the factory phone module on the MOST bus in the hope of resolving one of my minor annoyances but I don't know where it is physically located. Any help would be gratefully received.

In my 987 it was under the passanger seat. I had to "loop out" the part for Tooki install.

It is under the right hand seat. On a UK RHD car, that's the driver's side. Silver box with a Motorola sticker on it.

Thanks so much guys - I'll take a look tomorrow.... weather permitting.

I have now looped this out but I am still getting the error "Phone not availbale" on the PCM - did this happen to ayny of you?

I received 3 calls on my Gateway 500S on the way home today and all callers complained bitterly about the call quality. I am getting really frustrated with this now. Possibly going to throw it straight back at Dension and go for the Mobridge!

The Denison will always produce this error as it does not fully emulate the factory phone module. I have a Denison in my cayenne tt and a mobridge in my 996tt. The mobridge doesn't make the error and the phone book works with iPhones. The Denison can't load the phone book from an iPhone. The sound quality on the mobridge is also far superior to the Denison.

The only thing the Denison does better IMHO is that it remembers the "shuffle" or random track sequence on the iPod between power cycles. The mobridge reverts back to "normal" track sequence even when you switch between radio and iPod.

And of course the Denison is marginally cheaper, but not by much.

I hope this helps!

Cheers

Do any of you fine folks know if its in the same place in a Cayenne? I've got a 2005 S (RHD Uk), with the Bose system & PCM2.1 (nav DVD is under drivers seat, but must confess I haven't lied very closely...it's raining again...)

The phone module is situated on the same spot as 996, under right side front seat, Motorola or Siemens are the most common brands.

I've had no issues with my Tooki once I reflashed it to the "cold weather boot" FW. Never errors.
