Telephone module.*
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. By inserting a SIM card directly
into the integral SIM card reader of CDR
Plus or PCM, calls can be made using the
hands-free facilit y. For even more conven -
ience, the Bluetooth
® capability of a
mobile phone can be used to make calls
via the SIM Access Profile (SAP). Once
automatic pairing is complete, the mobile phone’s aerial is switched off to conserve
battery charge and the phone operates
via the car aerial. Depending on the
mobile phone model, this gives access
not only to the numbers on the SIM card,
but also to the phone’s internal memory.
Depending on the phone, it can also be
controlled using CDR Plus or PCM, the
optional multifunction steering wheel or
the optional voice control system, without

it ever leaving your pocket. In addition, the telephone module enables
you to establish a Bluetooth
® link with
those mobile phones that only support
the Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this case,
the GSM connection is always estab -
lished through the aerial of the mobile
phone. CDR Plus or PCM acts as a hands-
free system and you can leave the mobile
phone tucked away. On request, a tele -
phone module with cordless handset is
also available for PCM. Stored in the centre console, it features a
display and keypad. However, the hand
-
set cannot be used for Bluetooth
® links
established using the Handsfree Profile
(HFP).
