Porsche Communication
Management (PCM).
Fit ted as standard, PCM is the
central information and commu -
nications system. It is both
multifunctional and very easy to
operate.
The main feature is the 6.5-inch
touchscreen for intuitive control.
For radio listeners, there is an
FM t win tuner with RDS, which
constantly scans for the best signal for the selected station,
and up to four radio aerials for
optimum reception.
The integrated single CD/ DVD
drive of the 911 Turbo models
can, in combination with the
standard BOSE
® Surround Sound
System, replay music from audio
and video DVDs in 5.1 Discrete
Surround Format. As an option,
a six-disc CD/ DVD autochanger
can also be integrated in PCM
(standard on 911 Turbo S
models). The standard GPS navigation
module has a hard drive with
map data for most European
countries. When viewing a map,
it is possible to select either a
3D perspective or a 2D display.
Electronic logbook.
The optional electronic logbook
enables automatic recording
of mileage, route distance, date
and time, starting point and
destination for each journey.
TV tuner.
A T V tuner, available as an option,
receives unencoded analogue
and digital television broadcasts
(DVB-T) to provide entertainment
bet ween journeys. For your
safet y, the T V picture cannot be
displayed while the vehicle is in
motion.
Voice control system.
Almost all of the functions of PCM
can be controlled via the optional
voice control system. The main
menu item is read aloud exactly
as it is displayed on the screen
and the voice control system
recognises commands or number
sequences, irrespective of the
speaker. It gives audible feedback
and guides you through the
functions. There is no need to
‘train’
the system. Phone book
entries can be retrieved, a radio
station selected or the navigation
destination entered directly by
speaking whole words.
Telephone module for PCM.*
The standard GSM telephone
module offers convenience and
excellent reception. By inserting
a SIM card directly into PCM’s
integral SIM card reader, calls
can be made using the hands-free
facilit y. For even more conven -
ience, the Bluetooth
® capabilit y
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 of f to
conserve bat tery 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
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 established through the
aerial of the mobile phone.
PCM acts as a hands-free system
and you can leave the mobile
phone tucked away. On request,
a cordless handset for the tele -
phone module is also available.
However, the handset cannot be
used for Bluetooth
® links estab -
lished using the Handsfree Profile
(HFP).
