Digital radio.
The optional digital radio enables you to
receive digitally broadcast radio stations
and features a DAB t win tuner. It auto -
matically switches bet ween digital and
analogue to ensure optimum reception
of the selected station.
Telephone module.
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. With a SIM inserted 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 convenience, the Bluetooth
®
capabilit y of a mobile phone can be used
to make calls via the SIM Access Profile
(SAP). Once the connection has been
established automatically, 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, PCM, the
optional multifunction steering wheel or
the optional voice control system, without
it ever leaving your pocket.
The telephone module also enables you to
establish a Bluetooth
® link with those
mobile phones that support only the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this case, the
GSM connection is always established
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 Bluetooth
® handset for the
telephone module is also available.
Stored in the centre console, it features
a display and keypad. However, the
handset cannot be used for Bluetooth
®
links established using the Handsfree
Profile (HFP).
Mobile phone preparation.
Mobile phone preparation is available
as an option so that a Bluetooth®
connection can be established with those
mobile phones that support only the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). This function
also enables you to leave your mobile
phone tucked away. The CDR audio
system, CDR Plus and PCM are able to
control only the basic functions of the
mobile phone. The GSM connection
is established through the aerial of the
mobile phone.
Voice control system.
If you require route guidance, need to
make a phone call or want to listen to the
radio, then why not just say so? Almost
all of the functions of PCM can be con -
trolled using the optional voice control
system with word -by
-word input. In the
majorit y of cases, you can simply say
the name of the menu item as seen on
1) TMC Pro is currently available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.2) In MPEG -2 format.
The DVD-audio drive plays CDs and audio
DVDs and is MP3- compatible. Audio play -
back of video DVDs is also supported.
A six- disc CD/ DVD autochanger integrat -
ed into PCM is available as an option.
The universal audio interface (USB) in
the glove compartment enables you to
connect your iPod
® or any audio source.
Recharging is also supported. Once
connected, your iPod
® or USB stick is
then conveniently and safely operated
via the PCM, the optional multifunction
steering wheel or the optional voice
control system.
You can download the performance
display data from the Sport Chrono
Package and data from the electronic
logbook via the USB port. You can also
transfer up to 5,000 tracks (40 GB) in
MP3 format to the internal hard drive (or Jukebox) of PCM and play them from
there. Podcasts and audiobooks are
recognised and played and cover art is
displayed.
The navigation module in PCM features

a high-speed hard drive and allows you
to choose bet ween a 2D display and
a 3D perspective. In some regions, it is
possible to display the terrain (with an
overlaid satellite map) and buildings in
3D. Split screen mode enables you to
view t wo functions at once, such as the
current navigation map and a list of
symbols that represent the next driving
manoeuvre.
The navigation module also has a
dynamic route guidance function which
takes into account official traffic
messages (TMC) and additional traffic
flow sensors (TMC Pro).

understands complete addresses when
entered as navigation destinations, as
well as phonebook entries and the names
of radio stations. Even lists can be
browsed by voice command. For added
convenience, there is no need to ‘train’
the system.
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 destination. Data can be
downloaded to a USB stick and evaluated
on your home PC using the soft ware
supplied. The soft ware fulfils all statutory
requirements for automatic logbooks
as specified by the German revenue
authorities.
Speed limit indicator screen

The speed limit indicator informs the
driver about speed restrictions and the
start and end of no overtaking zones.
The information is recorded using a cam -
era and is shown on the colour TFT dis -
play in the instrument cluster or via the
PCM screen. If a traffic sign is missed –
for example due to heav y rain or dark -
ness – the speed limit stored in the navi -
gation module is automatically displayed. The function allows the driver to concen
-
trate more fully on the road ahead.
TV tuner.
The optional T V tuner is capable of
receiving unencrypted analogue and
digital television broadcasts (DVB-T)

The sound of a Porsche is a unique
characteristic, and we’re not referring
only to the engine. The optional BOSE
®
Surround Sound System was specially
developed for the 911 and is therefore
perfectly tuned to the car’s specific
interior acoustics.
It has a total output of 445 wat ts and
comprises eight amplifier channels,
12 loudspeakers and a patented integral
100-watt active subwoofer. The combined
effect is a balanced acoustic pat tern that
transforms your 911 into a fast-moving
concert hall.
In combination with the CDR Plus audio
system or Porsche Communication
Management (PCM), the BOSE
® Surround
Sound System enables audio playback
of DVDs and is thus able to make full use
of the impressive sound spectrum of
5.1 digital recordings. Of course, you
can still play other audio sources, such
as CDs and MP3s, in stereo or, at the
push of a but ton, in one of the virtual
surround modes generated by BOSE
®
Centerpoint
® 2. The BOSE
®-patented AudioPilot® noise
compensation technology uses a micro -
phone to continuously measure the
ambient noise inside the vehicle and
adapts music playback instantly and
automatically so that a consistent sound
is maintained – whatever the driving
conditions.
The result is a powerful sound and
captivating 360° acoustic experience.
Cue the applause.
When you are seeking a sporting challenge,
you need the right soundtrack.

An opera in a world of soap operas.

Burmester
® High-End Surround Sound System.
When t wo iconic German manufacturers
join forces, the result is special. We’re
referring to Porsche and Berlin -based
Burmester
®, one of the most respected
manufacturers of high-end audio equip -
ment worldwide, and the Burmester
®
High
-End Surround Sound System. The
technologies behind the system are
based on the finest premium home audio
systems Burmester
® has to offer. The
system owes its eminence to count less
details, and one goal: perfection in
sound.
The system has 12 amplifier channels
with a total output of 821 wat ts,
12 loudspeakers including an active
subwoofer with 300 -wat t class D amplifier, a total diaphragm surface area
of more than 1,340 cm
2, and a frequency
response of 35 Hz to 20 kHz.
In the 911 models, the Burmester
® system
uses the patented integral subwoofer,
which replaces the familiar separate
subwoofer and loudspeaker arrangement
of other systems. This saves weight and
has a beneficial impact on acoustic
performance.
Crossover technology has been carried
over more or less unmodified from the
home audio sector. Analogue and digital
filters have been optimally defined for
their new installation location and finely
tuned after extensive in-car audio testing.

The t weeters are ribbon-based air
motion transformers (AMT) and ensure
unmistakably fine, clear and undistorted
high-frequency sound reproduction with
excellent level stability. All loudspeaker
housings are perfectly matched and
deliver superior bass foundation, defi -
nition and impulse accuracy. As yet
unequalled in the 911, the result is a
natural and richly textured spatial sound
even at top volume.
The pure, sport y design with galvanised
surrounds and Burmester
® logos on
selected loudspeakers make it clear that
the appeal of the Burmester
® High - End
Surround Sound System is as much about the visual as it is the audio. Typically
Porsche.
Cue the encore.

It’s hard to say what has been our most emotional moment on the racetrack.
We have more than 60 years’ worth of them.

Porsche Motorsport.
To be able to call upon more than 60
years of experience as you bat tle for
every hundredth of a second out on the
track – that ’s what Porsche Motorsport is
all about. Our driving force is our teams
– all those people, from driver to
engineer, who work tirelessly on major
racetracks throughout the world to take
us forward. They have been realising and
living one shared dream for generations:
Ferry Porsche’s dream of a car that
could be both victorious on the track and
practical on the road. And from that
dream, more than 30,000 victories have
ensued to date. Victories achieved, for example, with
the Porsche 956 – one of the most
successful race cars of all time. And

with those that continue to show that
same potential, such as the 911 RSR

and the 911 GT3 Cup.
Two race cars that have proven a
success in circuit and endurance events.
As successful as the entire brand,
Porsche Motorsport has so far built more
than 3,000 race cars, over 1,000 of
which are still in use today. They appear
at the lowest amateur levels and line up
at the very pinnacle of the sport, competing in US GT races and in 20 one-
make championships, including the
Porsche Carrera Cup Germany and the
Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. New goals
are forever being set, not least for the
reappearance among the international
motorsport elite: in the FIA World
Endurance Championship and its
highpoint, the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

An LMP1 race car conceived from the
ground up is set to take to the grid
in the highest class there is with a
view to extending the run of 16 outright
wins at the Sarthe circuit.

For Porsche, however, what mat ters
even more than a place on the winners’
podium is how much experience is
gained, as well as the ideas that the race
inspires. Important findings from the
racetrack are transferred into series
production as design and test principles.
Our exhaust turbocharging or double-
clutch transmission technologies are two
examples. This proximit y bet ween the
racetrack and the road is unique. It lets
every Porsche customer take part in the
race – directly or indirectly. It lets the
customer feel what drives us. Yesterday,
today and tomorrow: Spirit. Vision.
Principle.

GT3 Cup Challenges.
Providing drivers with a route into
semi
-professional motorsport, these
entry-
level races are held in Australia,
Brazil, Central Europe, Great Britain,
Japan, Scandinavia, Switzerland, the
USA, Canada and the Middle East.
Drivers require the relevant national
licence to compete in the races whose
regulations are based on those of
the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany.

Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
A one-make championship is an
international motorsport event. Since
1993, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup
has been held as part of the FIA
Formula One World Championship – and
as the only Gran Turismo race series.
All cars are supported by professional
racing teams, which use t wo to three
racing cars in the championship. The
events take place mainly as part of

the European Grand Prix, with a race
distance of approximately 70 kilo -
metres. The drivers, which include
established personalities alongside
promising new talent, give everything
they have from start to finish. After

all, another prize might just be up for
grabs: a career in GT racing.
Porsche Carrera Cups.
From trailblazer to tradition. The Porsche
Carrera Cups are staged worldwide as
part of the highest ranking national
motorsport series, such as the German
Touring Car Masters (DTM). The tradition
of the Porsche Carrera Cup spans over
20 years and, since the first Porsche
Carrera Cup Germany was staged in
1990, a further seven Porsche Carrera
Cups have become established in France,
Great Britain, Scandinavia, Italy, Japan,
Asia and Australia. Races are held on
almost every weekend of the motorsport
season. The passion to win fuels the fight
for every hundredth of a second: young
upstarts challenge old hands, while
amateurs compete with professionals.
GT sport.
GT cars are pure -bred racing cars. They
must be based on road-
registered sports
cars and modifications are restricted to
specific areas.
In the early 1990s, Porsche was the
driving force behind the renaissance of
international GT motorsport. In the
meantime, Porsche has established
successful cooperation with customer
teams. Porsche supplies the race-ready
cars and supports private teams with
further development, technical services
and the provision of factory drivers.
Whether it ’s at the FIA World Endurance
Championship, the 24 Hours of Le Mans,
the United SportsCar Championship or at
national GT championships, Porsche
private teams are regular race and
championship winners. And, since 2013,
Porsche has once more been competing
for podium finishes in factory champion -
ship races around the world.
