I wonder if anyone can help
have just taken delivery of a 981 boxterS which doesn’t seem to have Bluetooth.
did these cars come with Bluetooth as standard and if not how do I get it ?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

My 2015 car has it. PCM inc navigation module with universal audio interface Along with preparation for mobile phone.

Hope this helps.

On my original order form for my 981 it is shown as an option.

Mobile phone preparation option 619.

So maybe yours wasn't specced with it.

I seem to recall cars didn't have Bluetooth unless they had the "mobile phone preparation" option (619). Depending on what other audio/navigation features and options your car has, adding it from Porsche will either be impracticable or very expensive. Worth asking your OPC but I suggest an aftermarket solution from an audio specialist would be you best line of enquiry depending on what functionality you require.

Thanks alistair,

Thanks for that,it would seem the option wasn’t ticked.

Thanks for the info,it would appear that this option wasn’t requested.

Strange as it has most other options other than the sports chrono.

Ill go and get a fright at my local dealer and take it from there.

My 981 didn't have bluetooth, sat nav, or mobile phone option,

i have gone down the route of having a new head unit (Pioneer)fitted - which gives me everything I need including Android Auto/Apple Car Play

£700 including fitting, DAB aerial etc.

The Porsche dealer recommended this option

Hi Snowman,can you tell me which model of pioneer you fitted,

thanks

I had the Pioneer SPHDA 160 fitted - basic unit - if you need a CD player you need to look at another model

the unit is reasonable priced - £269.00. the expensive bit is the facia - £180.00

and my electrician recommended fitting a more powerful DAB aerial
