Your 911 is a technical masterpiece.
Communication technologies included.
Tradition and innovation, style and
functionality, performance and everyday
practicality. The 911 combines them all.
It's what you expect from a Porsche.
The 911 embodies passion for the sports
car like almost no other vehicle. It is a
demonstration of engineering excellence.
The interior is no different thanks to
intelligent communication equipment
from Porsche Tequipment. This has an
important role to play on the road by
helping you reach your destination
quickly and safely. The sport y way.

The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. By inserting a SIM card directly
into the PCM's integral SIM card reader,

cordless handset. Alternatively, the

Bluetooth

can be used to make calls through the
SIM Access Profile (SAP)

The optional electronic logbook enables
automatic recording of mileage, route dis-
tance, date and time, starting point and

[4] Voice control system (not shown) 1
Almost all of the functions of the PCM
can be activated by voice control. The
system recognises commands or figure
sequences irrespective of the speaker.
It gives audible feedback and guides you through the functions. Without needing to
‘train’ the system, phone book entries can
be retrieved, a radio station selected or
the navigation destination entered directly
by speaking whole words rather than dic
-
tating just one let ter at a time.
1 Only in conjunction with PCM with
navigation update.

Bluetooth® connection is possible only
if the mobile phone has the SAP profile.
For information on compatible mobile
phones, please contact your Porsche
Centre or visit w w w.porsche.com.[1] Mobile phone preparation
To enable a Bluetooth® connection for
those mobile phones that only support
the Handsfree Profile (HFP), an optional
hands-free facilit y is available. With HFP,
the PCM acts merely as a hands-free
system and can be used to control the basic functions of the phone. The GSM
connection is established through the

aerial of the mobile phone.
Only in conjunction with PCM with naviga -
tion module.

[2] Porsche Vehicle Tracking System
(PV TS)
Enables remote location of a stolen vehicle
within 27 European countries as well as
Russia and South Africa. Location is not
continual, but occurs only in the event of
an alarm. A silent alarm is automatically triggered if the car is stolen or tampered
with, or after notification from the vehicle
owner. PV TS has been thoroughly tested
in all of these countries to ensure that the
service fully meets strict Porsche require
-
ments. Your Porsche Centre will be happy
to provide you with further information. Only for vehicles with optional factory-

fit ted preparation for Porsche Vehicle
Tracking System (PV TS).
A separate contract with the service
provider recommended by your Porsche
Centre is required, which is subject to
additional charges.

Did you expect our transport and
car-care accessories to offer anything
less than supreme performance?
The 911 and roof at tachments? That may
sound like a contradiction, but it isn't.
Not when our favourite pastime is recon -
ciling seemingly contradictory notions.
You can drive your Porsche and bring
your second favourite mode of transport
along for the ride. Bicycles, skis and
snowboards, for example, are easily
accommodated.
After some heav y lifting, your Porsche
deserves a rest and some care and
at tention. The following pages will show
you every thing we have to offer, from
car covers to microfibre cleaning cloths.
