Hi,
I've a 996 C4S with PCM 2, Bose, CD Changer and Phone. About a month ago, I got a System failure error Amp, CD Changer and Phone error and no sound. I took the car to a local independent and they could not find any specific issues with the PCM after connecting it to PIWIS and playing with it for about 1/2 an hour. They came to the same conclusion as I had, that the amp had gone kaput...
I sent the amp to Cartronics and they repaired it and sent it back. When I refitted it the sound was back and the cd changer worked, no system failure, but I got a "Phone not available messsage" when I select the telephone.
If I disconnect the fuse for the phone, all sound stops, so it suggests the MOST can't create a loop if the phone unit does not have power, so I think the phone unit is working.
So to the question, is it possible that this message means that the independent could have disabled the phone whilst looking for an issue, as the only other occurence of this error message I can find on the net is when someone has the phone PCM, but no phone modulein the PCM setup?
Sorry for the long winded question.
Any help appreciated.
cheers,
Anthony
