In the new Panamera and
Panamera 4 models and in the
Panamera S and 4S, a total out -
put of 235 wat ts is produced
through a combination of 11 loud -
speakers. Fit ted as standard in
the Panamera Turbo, the BOSE
®
Surround Sound System (p. 114)
enables the playing of audio
sources in the Dolby Digital 5.1
format. For an even greater sound
experience, PCM can be combined
with the optional Burmester®
High - End Surround Sound System
(p. 116).
In conjunction with the PCM,
an optionally available universal
audio interface enables you to
connect an iPod® or any other
compatible MP3 player via the
USB port.* An AUX interface for
connecting other audio sources is
also provided. An optional hybrid
T V tuner is capable of receiving
free-to -air analogue and digital
broadcasts. PCM can also be
used to control the performance
display of the optional Sport
Chrono Package Plus (p. 74) or
Sport Chrono Package Turbo
(p. 76). A navigation module with high-
speed hard drive is included with
PCM. For route guidance, it is
possible to select bet ween a 2D
display and a new 3D perspec
-
tive. In some regions, it is even
possible for buildings and terrain
superimposed with a satellite
image overlay to be displayed in
3D. The remaining journey dis -
tance is automatically adapted to
the maximum screen size. Split -
screen mode enables you to view
t wo functions at once, such as
the current navigation map and
list of symbols representing your
next driving instructions.
Voice control system.
Do you require navigation assist -
ance, need to make a phone
call or simply want to listen to the
radio? Then why not just say so?
The optional voice control system
for PCM is at your command with
support for word-by-word input.
You can even browse through lists
by voice command.
Electronic logbook.
An electronic logbook is available
for PCM as an option. It enables
automatic logging on every journey
of mileage, route distance, date,
time, starting location and desti -
nation. The soft ware fulfils all
statutory requirements for auto -
matic logbooks as specified by
the German revenue authorities.
Telephone module.
Available as an option for the
Panamera and Panamera 4 (stand-
ard on Panamera S, Panamera 4S
and Panamera Turbo), the GSM
telephone module offers conven -
ience and excellent reception.
By inserting a SIM card directly
into PCM’s integral SIM card
reader, calls can be made using
either the hands-free facilit y or
the cordless handset. For even
more convenience, the Bluetooth®
capabilit y of a mobile phone can
be used to make calls through the
SIM Access Profile (SAP). Once
automatic pairing is complete, the
mobile phone’s aerial is switched
of f to conserve bat ter y 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. Also, depending
on the phone, it can be controlled
using PCM, the multifunction
steering wheel or the voice con -
trol 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. Please refer to the
note on page 159.
Stowed in the centre console, the
telephone module has a cordless
Bluetooth
® active handset with
display and keypad so that calls
can be made and received pri -
vately in the presence of other
passengers. However, the handset
cannot be used for Bluetooth
®
links established using the Hands -
free Profile (HFP).
