Mobile Phone Preparation

Mobile Phone Preparation (optional)

The telephone module is the best solution for customers with a GSM Bluetooth(R) SAP mobile phone. Alternatively, a mobile phone preparation is available on request. With this optional equipment, even GSM or CDMA mobile phones, which only support the Hands-free Profile (HFP), can be used via a convenient Bluetooth(R) telephone solution.

When connected via the hands-free profile, PCM is used only as a hands-free facility. Again, your mobile phone stays comfortably in your coat pocket - the telephone numbers are copied either one-by-one or as a complete list into the PCM system, depending on the type of mobile phone. The basic mobile phone functions can be controlled via PCM, the multi-function steering wheel or via voice control. GSM is always connected via the mobile phone antenna.







The use of a mobile phone inside the vehicle increases the strength of electro-magnetic fields and can therefore expose the passengers to radiation. The PCM telephone module prevents this type of exposure because the vehicle's external antenna is always used. An upgrade kit (cradle), which is available for many mobile phones in independent accessory stores, allows users to use the external antenna and charge the mobile phone battery via the mobile phone preparation.

A console for this can be installed ex-works as a preparation. The console reduces antenna radiation inside the vehicle and is a convenient way of charging the mobile phone. All other telephone functions are performed via Bluetooth.

Two different types of mobile phone preparation are available: the first type includes an attachment console on the side panel of the front right center console for retrofitting a mobile phone holder.

Since not all customers who buy the mobile phone preparation will retrofit a mobile phone holder at a later stage, it is also available without the console for an improved look and to reduce weight.
