Comfort, ergonomics and security.
Anti-theft protection.
The Cayenne models are all
equipped as standard with an
engine immobiliser and anti-theft
alarm featuring ultrasonic interior
surveillance.
The alarm circuit includes all four
doors, engine lid, tailgate, rear
screen, interior, ignition and trailer
(if fitted).
The immobiliser system works by
automatically communicating with
the vehicle key. If the key is ap-
proved, the engine can be started
as normal.
When the key is removed from the
ignition, the steering column is
automatically locked to provide
additional security.
Porsche Entry & Drive.
With this optional system, you can
reduce the inconvenience of a con-
ventional key.
The moment you touch the door
handle
, the system automatically
checks the encrypted access code
on the key in your pocket. If the

unlocked. To start or stop the
engine, simply push the ignition
button.
To lock the car on leaving, all you
have to do is press a button on the
outside of the door handle. Porsche

doors, arms the immobiliser and
locks the steering column.

future installation of a vehicle
tracking system obtainable from

ing on vehicle specification) and

Explore the world.
In every direction.
Panoramic roof system.
The electrically operated
panoramic roof system is available
as an option on all Cayenne models.
Made from laminated safety glass,
it has a total surface area of
approximately 1.4 square metres –
almost four times larger than the
optional slide/tilt sunroof. Even
when closed, it provides a unique
‘open-top’ driving experience. The
panoramic view can be enjoyed
from all seat positions in every
type of weather.
A key advantage of the panoramic
roof system is its variability. The
roof consists of three movable
segments (1 – 3) and one fixedsegment (4). When the roof is
opened, the forward segment (1)
tilts upwards to act as a wind
deflector. Even at high speed
it helps reduce turbulence and
noise. The two middle segments
(2 and 3) can be opened
separately to provide a stream
of fresh air to the front or rear.For the ultimate open-top driving
experience, both central segments
can be fully retracted to the rear.
It is also possible to tilt segment
3 (above rear seats) to provide
additional ventilation. In all, there
are 15 roof settings to choose
from.
An electrically operated sunscreen
protects the interior against direct
sunlight.
The roof settings are
selected using a single illuminated
rotary control located on the roof
console. When the car is stationary,
it can also be operated using the
ignition key in the door lock.

The Cayenne, Cayenne S and the
Cayenne GTS are equipped with
the CDR-30 CD radio as standard.
The Cayenne Turbo has Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM – see page 132) and the
BOSE
® Surround Sound System
(see page 136).
The new CDR-30 CD radio.
Standard equipment in the Cayenne,
Cayenne S and Cayenne GTS,
the new 2-DIN CDR-30 CD radio
combines excellent sound with
exceptional ease of use. The
package includes an MP3-compatible
CD drive, 12 loudspeakers and
4 x 25-Watt internal amplifiers. The
5-inch monochrome display offers
excellent visibility and a clear layout –
especially when operating a con-
nected Bluetooth
®mobile phone
(telephone preparation available
as option). Other options available
in conjunction with the CDR-30
include an integrated six-disc
CD autochanger (easily accessible
from either front seat) and an
Aux-In port in the lower storage
compartment in the centre console
for connecting an external audio
source. The CDR-30 can also be
combined with the BOSE®
Surround Sound System for the
ultimate in sound performance.
Mobile phone preparation.
With this optional preparation,
you can connect a Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free Profile (HFP)-compatible
mobile phone* and use PCM
or the CDR-30 CD radio as a
hands-free system. As a Bluetooth®-
based solution, you can connect
your handset without even taking
it from your pocket. The basic
phone functions are accessible via
the PCM/CDR-30 head unit, multi-
function steering
wheel or voice
control. Connection to the mobile
phone network is via
the handset
antenna.**
Only one thing compares to the sound of your Porsche.

At Porsche, we appreciate the
importance of sound as an integral
part of the driving experience.
Which is why the interior acoustics
of each Cayenne model were
a key consideration during the
development process.

CD/DVD autochanger.
This optional integrated CD/DVD
autochanger replaces the standard
single-disc drive in the CDR-30
CD radio or PCM (DVDs playable
only in PCM). The front-loading
device holds up to six CDs/DVDs
and is easily accessible from
either front seat. Operated using
the standard head unit controls.
** For information on compatible phones, please consult your Porsche Centre or visit www.porsche.com.
** Mobile phone preparation: using a mobile phone inside the vehicle may expose occupants to heightened levels of electromagnetic radiation.
Vehicles with the mobile phone preparation can also be equipped with a cradle upgrade kit (handset-specific). When the handset is in the cradle,
all calls are connected via an external antenna, thereby reducing interior radiation. For information on upgrade kits for your mobile phone, please
consult your mobile phone accessory retailer. Using the telephone module for PCM avoids exposure to radiation as it also connects to the mobile
phone network via an external antenna.

The Cayenne Turbo is equipped
as standard with a totally new gen-
eration of Porsche Communication
Management (PCM). The central
control system for all audio,
navigation and communication
functions, the new PCM is more
powerful, more versatile and yet
easier to use than ever before.
Key features include a 6.5-inch
touchscreen display with intuitive
user interface. As before, you
can also operate PCM using
the right-hand rotary push-button
control. The menu layout is
extremely clear, with no more than
five entries per page enabling fast
and accurate operation. A help
function is included at the bottom
of the screen.
Navigation, communication, entertainment.
The new Porsche Communication Management (PCM).
Radio functions include 48 presets,
FM twin-tuner with RDS and the
latest generation of frequency
diversity which searches the air-
waves for the best possible signal
from the selected radio station.
In conjunction with the BOSE®
Surround Sound System, the
integrated CD/DVD drive plays
audio CDs as well as audio/video
DVDs in 5.1 discrete surround
format. An optional integrated
six-disc CD/DVD autochanger is
available for PCM.
Navigation module.
The navigation module for PCM
now has all map data on a
hard-disc drive and covers most
of the countries in Europe. The
upgraded system offers faster
route calculation with a choice
of three alternative routes.
The touchscreen display enables
faster destination input as well as
easy access to congestion reports
and places of interest by simply
tapping on the respective icons on
the map. Intermediate destinations,
e.g., next service station, can be
input quickly and easily during the
current route guidance.
Comfort
The map display offers a new
perspective view as well as
conventional 2D layout, both with
altitude profiles. During motorway
driving, the route guidance
instructions include visual turn
indicators. In split-screen mode,
you can view the current map
section together with a list of
icons for the next manoeuvre. The
system also supports automatic
navigation along a previouslyrecorded route (reverse route
navigation) as well as compass
and GPS-based navigation.
