FAQ
Questions about transferring data.
Why is there no audio playback even though
the AUX BT source is enabled?
Many devices do not allow the audio player
to be launched remotely. In this case, the
player will have to be launched manually
from the mobile phone first. It will then be
possible to control the audio player using
PCM.
There is no memory card in the mobile
phone, or the music is not in the
expected directory of the memory card.
Consequently, the data cannot be found by
the mobile phone.
With some mobile phones or Bluetooth
®
players, the volume of the music being
played by PCM depends on the volume
setting on the mobile device.
In simple implementations, the same command
is used to operate the functions ‘Play’ and
‘Pause’. In this case, no feedback on the
current status of the player is given. This may
result in the player being paused instead of
playing.
Why is audio streaming via AUX BT sometimes
impaired?
In some situations, the quality of audio streaming
via AUX BT may be impaired by the limited band-
width available with Bluetooth
®
. This is most likely
to happen during the search for new devices or
during the connection or reconnection of devices.
It might be possible to improve this situation by
deleting obsolete mobile phones from the device
list in PCM.
Which functions are supported with the new
e-mail and SMS function?
The new e-mail and SMS function supports the
reading of messages (e-mail and text messages)
stored on the smartphone. These are downloaded
to PCM via the Bluetooth
®
Message Access Profile
(MAP). It is only possible to read messages. Only
the inbox of the supported e-mail accounts is
displayed.
All e-mails are sorted by date when listed on PCM.
Once e-mails are read, they are then marked
as read on the smartphone. Message text-to-
speech is also supported by PCM. Only the text
content of e-mails can be displayed. Attachments
and message parts encoded in HTML are not
supported by PCM and will not be displayed.
What do I need to be able to transfer
e-mails and SMS via the Message Access
Profile (MAP)?
To use this function, you will need a Porsche
car produced in the model year beginning
November 2012 or later and a phone that
supports the Message Access Profile (MAP).
While many of the latest smartphones do
support this profile, it is often only on the
SMS side. In this case, e-mails cannot be
transferred to PCM.
There is a detailed functional overview of mobile phone models that have been compatibility-tested by Porsche, starting on page 43. An explanation of the terms used here can be found in the glossary starting on page 38.
