Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) including navigation module.
PCM is your central information and
communication system. It is powerful
and multifunctional, yet easy to operate.

high-resolution touchscreen. Almost all
functions can be controlled with just your
fingertips, although conventional rotary
pushbut ton controls are still provided.
Radio functions include up to 42 memory
presets, dynamic autostore and the
FM dual tuner with RDS diversit y, which
continuously scans in the background for
the best signal. The CD/ DVD drive plays
CDs and audio DVDs and is MP3-compati -
ble. A six- disc CD/ DVD autochanger inte -
grated into PCM is available as an option.
CDR Plus audio system.
Optional CDR Plus has seven loudspeakers
and delivers a total output of 185 wat ts.
Functions are controlled using a high-res -
olution 7-inch touchscreen. An analogue
and digital t win tuner ensures an exten -
sive selection of radio broadcasts. Other
features include a CD/ DVD drive support -
ing audio playback of MP3 files and
audio/video DVDs, a USB port for various
iPod
® and iPhone® models, an MP3 play-
er or for USB memory sticks containing
MP3 tracks. Cover art is also supported.
Connected USB devices can be controlled
via CDR Plus or the optional multifunction
steering wheel. An AUX inter face enables
you to connect additional external audio
sources, in which case functions are con -
trolled directly from the external device.
CDR audio system.
The CDR audio system is an ideal com -
plement to the resonant engine sound
of the Boxster models. It features a 7-inch
colour touchscreen, giving you quick
and easy access to the most important
functions and menus.
The integrated CD radio features
an FM dual tuner and RDS diversit y,
30 memor y presets, dynamic autostore
and speed -sensitive volume control.

Electronic logbook.
An electronic logbook is available for
PCM as an option. It enables automatic
logging for every journey of mileage,
route distance, date, time, starting
location and destination. After you have
downloaded your logbooks from the PCM
via the USB or Bluetooth
® inter face, you
can evaluate the data on your home PC
Telephone module.*
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. By inserting a SIM card directly
into the integral SIM card reader of CDR
Plus or PCM, calls can be made using the
hands-free facilit y. For even more conven -
ience, the Bluetooth
® capability of a
mobile phone can be used to make calls
via the SIM Access Profile (SAP). Once
automatic pairing is complete, the mobile phone’s aerial is switched off to conserve
battery charge and the phone operates
via the car aerial. Depending on the
mobile phone model, this gives access
not only to the numbers on the SIM card,
but also to the phone’s internal memory.
Depending on the phone, it can also be
controlled using CDR Plus or PCM, the
optional multifunction steering wheel or
the optional voice control 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 estab -
lished through the aerial of the mobile
phone. CDR Plus or PCM acts as a hands-
free system and you can leave the mobile
phone tucked away. On request, a tele -
phone module with cordless handset is
also available for PCM. Stored in the centre console, it features a
display and keypad. However, the hand
-
set cannot be used for Bluetooth
® links
established using the Handsfree Profile
(HFP).

Conceptually, we have broken entirely
new ground. The analogue and digital
filters of the crossover technology used
have been optimally defined for their
installation location and finely tuned
following extensive in - car audio testing.
The perfect interaction of all loudspeaker
chassis delivers superior bass foundation,
definition and impulse accuracy.
As yet unequalled in the Boxster, the
result is a natural and richly textured
spatial sound, even at top volume. All of

sophisticated as the components that
Burmester
® puts into its high-end home
audio systems. How do the numbers
sound? 12 amplifier channels with a total
output of 821 wat ts and 12 loudspeakers
including an active subwoofer. The active
subwoofer is integrated in the bodyshell
itself. Not only does this provide ideal
conditions for the sound, it is consistent
with the principles of light weight con -
struction as applied in motorsport.
Burmester® High-End Surround
Sound System.
Any car manufacturer can integrate a
sound system into a vehicle. Why not go
one step further and embed the driver in
a sound system? That was the aspiration
for Porsche and Burmester
® in the devel -
opment of the optional Burmester
® High-
End Surround Sound System. Conceived
and tuned specifically for the Boxster,
this is high-end technology ‘made in Ger -
many’.
