The GPS navigation system
included with the optional PCM has
an internal hard drive containing
maps for most European countries.
A touchscreen enables rapid
destination input and instant view -

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.
As the central control unit
for audio, navigation and
communications, the optional
PCM is multifunctional and
ergonomic to operate.
The main feature is the 6.5-inch

the hands-free facilit y. For even

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 Cayman models. A total of
10 loudspeakers, including
an active subwoofer and central
speaker, and a seven - channel
digital amplifier with a total output
of 385 wat ts, combine to
produce a truly memorable sound
experience.
During audio playback from audio
or video DVDs (only in conjunction
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 5.1 digital format, the sound
has already been recorded in a
multi- channel format and is
faithfully reproduced exactly as
the original. Five dedicated audio channels
(front lef t, 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
experience 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 the patented BOSE®
Centerpoint® system. The
algorithm of Centerpoint® II
extracts an even more precise
and realistic sound from the
stereo signal.
The SurroundStage
® signal
processing circuitry developed
by BOSE® assigns each individual
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.
