Instruments.
Each black circular dial in the
instrument cluster – aluminium-
coloured in the Boxster S –
provides important information
at a glance. In the centre is the
analogue rev counter with digital
speedometer and a customis - able display of key data from the
standard on -board computer.
Additional data, such as average
fuel consumption, fuel range or
the data of the optional TPM can
be shown as desired.
The right-hand dial displays the
outside temperature and shif t
pat tern of the optional Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK), as well

as the selected gear. The dial on
the lef t contains the analogue
speedometer with digital trip
meter and total distance display.
The design and legibilit y of the
dials are also enhanced by the
white backlight illumination.
Steering wheels.
The Boxster models are equipped
as standard with a three -spoke
sports steering wheel with full- size
airbag. As an option, you can
specify a three-spoke multifunction
steering wheel with integrated
but tons for the most essential
audio and, where applicable, navi -
gation and telephone functions. The multifunction steering wheel

is available in a choice of smooth
leather, Aluminium Look, carbon
or macassar finish.
In combination with the optional
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),

the three-spoke steering wheel can
be optionally fit ted with gearshift
switches – and is also available as
a multifunction steering wheel if

is the three-spoke sports steering
wheel with gearshif t paddles
(p. 46). For extra comfort in the
cold winter months, there is the

seat heating). It is available for
all steering wheels, except the
three-spoke sports steering wheel
with gearshift paddles.

mised under-seat suspension.
Through bends, your seat gives

Porsche and sound – inseparable
– not only in terms of the engine,
but also in the interior acoustics.
The audio system is specially
adapted to the Boxster models.
The result is a rich and more
enjoyable sound – both inside
and outside the car.
CDR-30 audio system.
Both Boxster models are equipped
as standard with the CDR-30
audio system with 5-inch display
(monochrome) and MP3-com -
patible CD drive. An integrated
six-disc CD autochanger is avail -
able as an option.

Calling the tune,
even when it comes to communication.
The FM dual tuner with RDS
diversit y, a total of 30 memory
presets, dynamic autostore

and speed-sensitive volume con -
trol are, as usual, all part of the
standard package. Just like the
high-qualit y sound, which is deliv -
ered by t wo high-range speakers
in the dashboard, t wo low-range
speakers in the door trims and
t wo 25-wat t output stages. For
an even more impressive sound
experience, you could opt for
the Sound Package Plus or BOSE®
Surround Sound System.
Controlling the CDR-30 audio
system could not be more simple:
the function keys ensure that all
the main functions are directly at
your finger-tips, and it is also pos -
sible to conveniently control all
of the most important functions
using the but tons on the optional
multifunction steering wheels.
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) including
navigation module.
PCM is available on request for
both Boxster models. As the
central information and communi -
cations system, it can be used
for many dif ferent applications
and its ergonomic design makes
it easy and comfortable to
operate.

Boxster | Comfort
The main feature is the 6.5-inch
colour touchscreen with a
durable, easy-to - clean coating.
Functional, innovative and easy
to use, you will find the display
very clearly presented and a
maximum of five list entries per
page enable you to operate the
unit quickly and safely. Alterna -
tively, you can also operate the
PCM using conventional but ton
controls.

· 86 ·· 87 ·
The mobile phone can also
be controlled, depending on the
model, by means of the PCM,
the optional multifunction steering
wheel or the optional voice
con -
trol system, without it ever leav -
ing your pocket.
In addition, the telephone module
can be used to enable a Bluetoot h®
connection for those mobile
phones that only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). Here, the
GSM connection is established
through the aerial of the mobile
phone. The PCM acts as the
hands-free system and the mobile
phone can remain stowed away. A cordless handset is also avail
-
able for the telephone module.
However, this cannot be used for
Bluetooth
® calls via the Hands -
free Profile (HFP).
Mobile phone preparation for
PCM and CDR-30.*
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 HFP, the PCM or CDR-30 acts
merely as a hands-free system.
Here, too, you can leave the
mobile phone tucked away in
your pocket. However, the PCM or
CDR-30 is able to control only
the basic functions of the mobile
phone. The GSM connection is
established through the aerial of
the mobile phone. The mobile
phone preparation is available
w i t h or w i t hou t a mount ing bracket.
Universal audio interface for
PCM and CDR-30.
With this optional feature, the
storage compartment in the centre
console in combination with the
optional PCM will contain up to
Boxster | Comfort
three connections: one for your
iPod
®, one for a USB stick/ MP3
player and one as an AUX interface
for any compatible audio source
of your choice. The iPod
® or USB
stick can be controlled conven -
iently and safely using the PCM.
Through the USB socket, it is also
possible to download data from
the performance display of the
Sport Chrono Package, as well as
data from the electronic logbook.
In conjunction with the CDR-30
audio system that comes as
standard, there is an AUX socket
for connecting any other t ype of
audio source.
Sound Package Plus for PCM
and CDR-30.
For sophisticated ears:
the optionally available Sound
Package Plus.
Seven speakers with a total
output of 185 wat ts combine to
create the perfect interior sound
experience. Sound set tings can
be customised using the CDR-30
audio system or the optional
Porsche Communication Manage -
ment (PCM, p. 83). Also includes
CD storage in the glove compart -
ment.

CD or CD/DVD autochanger.
As an option, the CDR-30 audio
system can be fit ted with an
integral six- disc autochanger, or
for the optional PCM, an integral
six-disc autochanger (DVD/audio
output only in conjunction with
PCM). Both are MP3 com
patible,
and hold up to six CDs
or DVDs.
They are easy to load via the
input slot on the CDR-30 or PCM.

BOSE® Surround Sound System
for PCM and CDR-30.
The optional BOSE® Surround
Sound System is compatible with
both the CDR-30 audio system,
which comes as standard, and
the optionally available PCM.
Developed specifically for Porsche,
it has been optimised for the
Boxster models. A total of 11 loud -
speakers, including an active sub-
woofer and central speaker, and
a seven-channel digital amplifier
with a total output of 385 wat ts,
combine to produce a truly memo -
rable sound experience.
During audio playback from audio
or video DVDs (only with the
optional PCM), the system is able
to make full use of the impressive
sound spectrum of 5.1 digital
recordings. With music in the 5.1
format, the sound has already
been recorded in a multichannel
format and is faithfully repro-
duced exactly as the original.

Five dedicated audio channels
(front left, front right, centre,
surround lef t, surround right)
deliver a sound that is as authen -
tic as it is natural. The digital 5.1 surround sound is balanced,
lifelike and crystal clear. It ’s a
sound that ’s as true to a live

performance or cinematic expe -
rience as you can get.
Of course, you can still play
traditional music sources such
as CDs (only format supported
by CDR-30), either in stereo or
in one of the surround modes
generated by patented BOSE®
Centerpoint
® technology. The
algorithm of Centerpoint
® II
extracts a precise and realistic
sound from the stereo signal.
The SurroundStage® signal
processing circuitry developed
by BOSE
® assigns each indi -
vidual audio channel, whether
sourced from a DVD or generated
by Centerpoint®, to a selected
combination of loudspeakers
and is therefore able to deliver
an optimally balanced surround
sound experience to both seat
positions.
To complement these features,
the BOSE
® Surround Sound
System offers a comprehensive
selection of equaliser presets for
customised sound. The dynamic loudness function increases

bass levels as you decrease the
volume, thereby compensating
for the decreasing sensitivit y of
the human ear at these frequen -
cies. Moreover, the AudioPilot
®
Noise Compensation Technology
uses a microphone to continu -
ously measure the ambient noise
inside the vehicle and adapts
music playback automatically so
that a consistent sound is main -
tained in all driving conditions.
The BOSE
® Surround Sound
System. A genuine – perhaps the
only – alternative to the charac -
teristic engine sound.
