Can't make a Bluetooth connection with the Porsche 911 GT3?

2020 Porsche 911 GT3 first drive

It was the return trip from my family to the first visit at the beginning of the year. When I was walking, I heard a good sound from behind, so I turned around and asked, "Well, something is coming?" ... Oh. There was a Porsche 911 GT3.

With the coolness as usual, I was excited again in front of the children and made a noise saying "It's GT3 !! Look! It's cool!" ^^

And ... I also realize that 2020 has begun, when children treat me lightly as "yes, yes" for my Porsche fever (laughs).

If I come across such a wonderful GT3, I can't help running it anymore.

I finally found an opportunity on January 6th and started the first run in 2020 with the Porsche 911 GT3 ^ ^

Gasoline was full at the end of the yearSo it's always OK to leave.

By the way, until January 6th when I got on this GT3, I was running on Carrera every day from January 2nd to 5th, so the day when I have not driven Porsche since the beginning of 2020 is January 1st. only.

Since it's a big deal, let's count "how many days in a year did you not ride Porsche" in 2020 ^ ^

I want to use Spotify with Porsche 911 GT3

The other day, I wrote that I started Spotify, a music distribution service, in 2020.

---

Just by connecting my smartphone via Bluetooth, I can listen to various music in a good mood in the car, so even though it's been about a week since I started using it, I can't stop using Spotify anymore.

Let's connect to Spotify with GT3 at once ... and press the "SOURCE" button to display the list of input sources of Porsche Communication Management (PCM).

Bluetooth is not displayed in PCM Source

When.

Hmm. that? There is no indication of Bluetooth ...? Not a few items are displayed? ↓

On the PCM screen of Porsche 911 Carrera, when you press the SOURCE button, the message "Bluetooth" will also appear here, so if you press it, it will work immediately with your smartphone.

This is the display that appears when you press the SOURCE button on the PCM of Porsche 911 Carrera ↓. The red letters are Bluetooth.

Originally, I want "Bluetooth" to appear on this SOURCE screen in this way.

My smartphone itself is already connected to GT3 to use the phone function, so I can't understand why the Bluetooth option doesn't appear here.

I wanted to solve this problem immediately because I wanted to connect Spotify, but this day was also a period when the Porsche Center, which was indebted to me at the beginning of the year, was also absent.

In that case, I have to solve it by myself! I checked the manual immediately. Only Porsche is diligent ^ ^

Connect an external device to the Porsche 911 GT3 via Bluetooth

Check the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) page in the manual.

Then.

a! !! There was!

The item "Connecting an external device via Bluetooth". The answer you were looking for is right there! As expected, Porsche's manual.

(1) To connect a smartphone (external device) to the Porsche 911 GT3 via Bluetooth, first press the radio wave mark at the bottom left of the screen, or select "Device Manager" with the "PHONE button → OPT button".

② Bluetooth audio → Search for new device

③ When selected, a 6-digit Bluetooth code will be displayed on the PCM.

④ Check the PCM and the code displayed on the device, and confirm if they meet.

When you register a device in the same way ...

Wow. The number of items displayed on the SOURCE screen has increased at once, and the display of "Bluetooth" has come to appear on a sunny day ^^

This is the GT3 source screen that has been connected via Bluetooth and has a new display ↓

This time, before looking at the Porsche manual, I was also searching the net for "why PCM does not display Bluetooth", but after all overseas people

"I have a smartphone connected to Porsche to make a phone call, but I can't connect to audio."

Someone said that, maybe the phone is a phone, and apart from that, if Bluetooth does not come out to the SOURCE, is it necessary to register the device in this flow?

Well, anyway, I'm glad that GT3 can now play Spotify via Bluetooth.

The Bluetooth connection problem was also solved, and after all I enjoyed the best Porsche 911 GT3 drive ^ ^
