I think some use the cigarette lighter, I just ran a longer wire to the fuse box with a fused connector (something like this)

Installation was pretty easy, you have to buy an additional fibre optic loop to disable the car phone module under your driver's seat if you have one, but once installed it replaces the 6 disc CD changer and you can treat music.

In the end I used the 12V socket in the passenger footwell as that was conveniently close.

It was the P600 by Mr12Volt (weird name but they seem a reputable company)

My job for this evening is installing a Bluetooth adaptor behind the PCM unit of my new (to me) 997.1 I decided not to go the whole hog of replacing the head unit to keep it original looking.

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

That way you keep a fuse on the PCM and the bluetooth connector and you don't cut any original wiring, then just run the black cable to a screw that connects to metal.

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.

My job for this evening is installing a Bluetooth adaptor behind the PCM unit of my new (to me) 997.1 I decided not to go the whole hog of replacing the head unit to keep it original looking.
Th unit needs a 12v switched supply. Could anyone point me in the direction of where best to find this behind a 997. dash?
Also the car has the phone prep with a sim card slot. Apparently you need to bypass the telephone module with a fibre optic loop (which I have.) Is this module under the drivers seat or somewhere else?
Thank you very much.
I think some use the cigarette lighter, I just ran a longer wire to the fuse box with a fused connector (something like this)

Thanks,
In the end I used the 12V socket in the passenger footwell as that was conveniently close. The current draw from the Bluetooth unit is tiny and there is plenty of spare capacity I think.
Interesting that the accessory sockets are non-switched on the 997, on every other car I have had they are switched.

Installation was pretty easy, you have to buy an additional fibre optic loop to disable the car phone module under your driver's seat if you have one, but once installed it replaces the 6 disc CD changer and you can treat music. The display shows track info and you can use the forward/ back track buttons etc. the sound quality is really good, miles better than the cheapo bluetooth devices you can buy on eBay. The phone works ok, although the sound quality of that is not as good for some reason, I'm try gin to see if there is something I need to change to improve it, but overall I'm very happy with it, it's a lot cheaper than a full CarPlay head unit and keeps the stock look which I like.
