If that does not do the trick and you have checked your phone bluetooth settings and the PCM bluetooth settings then I would go to the option of last resort as mentioned above and reset the PCM to nudge it to pair with the phone from scratch.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

5 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link
I had a similar issue with my Cayman and I found that just deleting or choosing to 'forget this device' and therefore the pairing from memory did the trick.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a bit of an odd issue with my GT4...I can't get audio to appear as an option in the media menu? I have had it working previously no problem. Forgot and reconnected the phone (phone bit connects ok) but nothing comes up in the media option just fm/dab etc. On the phone it doesn't have an option for enabling audio connectivity. I haven't had the phone connected by usb at any point. Is there some setting on the PCM somewhere or a reset I could try?

POST 2Original post

Have a look ing the manual for connecting your phone via bluetooth. Failing that, do a PCM reset by pushing and holding the volume button until the Porsche logo appears.

POST 3Original post

Is it an iPhone you are trying to connect? I had a similar issue with my Cayman and I found that just deleting or choosing to 'forget this device' and therefore the pairing from memory did the trick. Re-paired the phone and the PCM ensuring the bluetooth connection settings were set correctly (Bluetooth and Audio). If that does not do the trick and you have checked your phone bluetooth settings and the PCM bluetooth settings then I would go to the option of last resort as mentioned above and reset the PCM to nudge it to pair with the phone from scratch.
