2010 PORSCHE BOXSTER S reset

· 82 ·· 83 ·
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.

Radio functions include up to
42 memory presets and an FM
dual tuner with RDS and fre -
quency diversit y, which continu -
ously scans in the background
for the best signal. The integrated single CD/ DVD
drive – in combination with the
optional BOSE
® Surround Sound
System – is also able to play
back music from audio and video
DVDs in the 5.1 digital surround
format. An integrated six-disc
CD/ DVD autochanger with MP3
compatibilit y is also available as
an option for the PCM.
Navigation module for PCM.
The GPS navigation module
included with the optional PCM
now has an internal hard drive
containing maps for most Euro
-
pean countries.
Boxster | Comfort
A touchscreen enables rapid
destination input and instant
viewing of traf fic information and
points of interest (POIs) by simply
allowing you to touch the symbols
on the map. Route diversions,
e.g. the nearest service stations,
can therefore be incorporated
quickly and easily into the current
route guidance.
When viewing a map, it is pos -
sible to select bet ween a 3D
perspective and the 2D display.
At motorway exits, graphical

turn indications are displayed for
bet ter orientation. In splitscreen
mode, you can choose to display
not only the current map over-
view, but also a list of icons that
represent dynamic route guidance.
Electronic logbook for PCM.
The optional electronic logbook
enables automatic recording of
relevant driving data. Once you
have downloaded the logbooks
via Bluetooth® or the optional
USB interface, you can evaluate
them on your home PC using
the sof t ware supplied (sof t ware
complies with all statutory
requirements for automatic log-
books as specified by the

German revenue authorities).
TV tuner.
A T V tuner, available as an option,
receives free-to -air analogue and
digital broadcasts (DVB-T) and
provides 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 the
PCM can be controlled using
the latest optional voice control
system with word-by-word input.
The menu item is read aloud
exactly as it is displayed on the
screen and the voice control
system recognises commands or
sequences of numbers, whoever
the speaker. It then gives an
audible acknowledgement and
carries out the functions you
request. There is no need to ‘train’
the system.
Telephone module for PCM.*
Available as an option, the quad-
band GSM telephone module
of fers convenience and excellent
reception. Hands-free calls can
be made by inserting a SIM card
directly into the PCM’s integral
SIM card reader. And for even
more convenience, the Bluetooth®
capabilit y of your mobile phone
can be used to make calls through
the SIM Access Profile (SAP).
Once automatic pairing is com -
plete, the mobile phone’s aerial is
switched off to conserve bat tery
charge and the phone operates
via the car aerial. Depending

on the t ype of mobile phone, this
gives access not only to the
numbers on the SIM card, but also
to the phone’s internal memory.

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.
