Instruments.
Time is precious, so you want to
be able to see where every thing
is at a single glance. This is
why the instruments of the new
911 Carrera GTS models have
been designed with sport y driv
ing in mind.
Those who speak in clear language
want a clear response.
The five circular instruments
with dial faces in black give you
all the important information
you need ef ficiently and accu
rately. The integrated on
board com
puter displays your average fuel
consumption, speed and range
until empty.
‘ When you hold your breath, you should at least
be able to do so in comfort.’

Comfort
Navigation module.
The optional GPS navigation
system has a hard drive contain
ing map data for most European
countries, allowing for rapid
route calculations with a choice
of three alternative routes.
When viewing a map, it is pos
sible to select bet ween a 3D
perspective and a 2D display,
enhanced by the addition of
altitude profiles. In splitscreen
mode, you can choose to dis
play not only the current map
overview, but also a list of icons
that represent the next driving
manoeuvre.
Telephone module.
The optional quadband GSM
telephone module offers con
venience and excellent recep
tion. By inserting a SIM card
directly into the PCM’s integral
SIM card reader, calls can be
made using the hands free
facilit y. For even more
convenience, the Bluetooth
®
capabilit y of a mobile phone
can be used to make calls via
the SIM Access Profile (SAP).
1)
Once automatic pairing is com
plete, the mobile phone’s aerial
is switched of f to conserve
battery 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 memor y. Depending on
the phone, it can also be con
trolled using PCM, the optional multifunction steering wheel
or the optional voice control
system, without it ever leaving
your pocket.
In conjunction with the optional
navigation module, the tele
phone module also 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.
2) PCM acts
as a hands free system and
you can leave the mobile phone
tucked away.
On request, a cordless handset
for the telephone module is also
available. However, the handset
cannot be used for Bluetooth
®
links established using the
Handsfree Profile (HFP).
Mobile phone preparation.
To enable a Bluetooth® connec
tion for those mobile phones
that only support the Handsfree
Profile (HFP), an optional mobile
phone preparation is available
(with or without a bracket).
1)
With HFP, PCM acts merely
as a hands free system and the
mobile phone can remain tucked
away. Only the basic phone
functions can be operated using
PCM. The GSM connection is
established through the aerial
of the mobile phone.
3)
Voice control system.
Almost all of the functions of
PCM can be controlled via the
optional voice control system,
which recognises commands or
number sequences, irrespective
of the speaker, and there is
no need to ‘ train’ the system.
Universal audio interface.
Also available as an option is
the universal audio inter face.
This enables you to connect
you r i Pod
®, a USB stick/MP3
player or any other compatible
audio source of your choice.
The iPod® or USB stick can
be operated conveniently and
safely via PCM.
