In search of the 2nd SIM slot, the phone module underneath the drivers seat (UK) does have a 2nd SIM slot.
The unit is manufactured by Motorola, Harmann and Becker Porsche P/N: 996.642.207.01
I've included a pic with the 2nd SIM slot popped out

I took the car to OPC and they recommend that I replace the PCM2 Unit.... Apparently PCM2 does support Orange, T-mobile, O2 and Vodaphone.
They did try and replace the privacy handset... apparently this causes the "Checking SIM" message under warranty... apparently part of a recall programme.
I have the Dension GW500 installed so I might skip replacing the PCM2 unit and instead opt for the Bluetooth bolt-on.
If anyone does find out how to solve the "Checking Sim" message, drop me a line on Shap@blueyonder.co.uk
Thanks

Hi Tim, can you please give me the number of Becker direct in the UK. I think I need a new CD drive and maybe a SIM replacement. Thanks Shap

Hi Karl
Did you leave the CD changer in the fibre loop?

Hi Loren
Apparently Orange will work on the PCM2 unit.
I had a local garage plug in the PST2 and there were no errors reported.
The screen (with or without a SIM inserted) stays with mesg "Checking SIM"
Someone mentioned that it was also possible to put a SIM directly into the Unit under the seat... is that true?
Thanks for you help.

Thanks Nick, I managed to get the PCM2 out.
It was missing the 2 hex bolts on the side which is why it wouldn't budge.
:D

Dear All
Does the PCM2 in a 996 support the Orange Phone service?
I insert the SIM into the lot, and all I get is a "Checking SIM" message constantly displayed.
I have tried a T-mobile SIM and I get the same result.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to remove the PCM2 unit from my 996 to fit a Gateway500 interface.
I tired the hexbolt to unlock the unit as suggested in some other of the posts, but the unit won't budge!!!
Are there some other tips/ tricks to get the unit out?
It would be nice if there was some pics of the removal process
Many thanks
Shap
PCM2 Removal from 996

Check that the hex nut are there, 2 were missing from mine which made it a pain to pull out. If they are missing, slide some allen keys in between the PCM unit and the surrounding to hold down the spring retainers and genetly pull the PCM unit out.
