Hi Guys,
Just took delivery of my shiny new 997 C4S Cab, and have to say I really love it.
I have a couple of questions that I have searched for on here, but could not find answers too.
At the moment most seem to be centered around the use of the PCM.
Its unfair to say that its not intutive at this stage, but for a so called german company design it does not seem very logical compared to the DVD sat nav system in my other cars, and Audi A6 and a Land Rover Discovery 3.
The problems I have come across do far are:
Why is the method of data entry so slow, by using the scroll wheel, for example, you have to go thru all letters to get to numbers, etc and to change case? are there any short cut keys?
My car has the phone option, and I want to easily get numbers into it, but is seems that there is two address books, one for the phone and one I presume for the sat nav address's, can you dial numbers from the sat nav address book if so how?
Whilst entering data yesterday, I noticed that the infrared port on the front of the pcm was advertising itself to my PDA. However I have tried sending data from the PDA and Phone address books via IR, the PCm says the name of the contact as contact_name.vcf file rejected!
So my question here is there any way to send data to the IR port on the PCM, if so what format does it accept?
I know that the IR port on the PCM is there to send data out from the electronic logbook, but it does seem from the promiscous mode it is in that it can recive data too!
Finally I am having an issue with the passenger/near side rear window. After the roof has been down for some time, and hence the rear windows down, when returning the roof to a closed position, the small rear window goes up so far and then goes half way back down, as if some form of sensor like an anti trap is sensing something is in the way?
My question is is there a sequence for reseting the windows so they are at full closed and or open position, or a full resest etc?
Sorry for the long list, but I need to get the info from someone in the know, so naturally I came here first.
Thanks in advance. [

Nige.
