Using the PCM
Important information on
operation and road safety
The PCM (Porsche Communication Manage-
ment) system is the central control unit for the ra-
dio, TV tuner, disc mode (CD/DVD, USB, iPod and
an external audio source), sound settings, on-
board computer, navigation system and tele-
phone.
To avoid danger or injury to yourself and others
while using your PCM, you must take the following
into consideration:
WARNING!
Accident hazard. Distraction could result in
you losing control of the vehicle.
ûOperate your PCM only when you are safely
in control of your vehicle and traffic condi-
tions permit. If in doubt, stop the vehicle
and operate the PCM while the vehicle is
parked.
CAUTION!
Injury hazard. Opening the housing or a dam-
aged housing represents a hazard due to invis-
ible laser radiation.
ûThe PCM is a Class 1 laser product. Do not
open the housing.
The PCM does not contain any user-service-
able parts. Any maintenance work must be
performed exclusively by qualified service
experts.
WARNING!
Accident hazard. The navigation system is
only intended as an aid to the driver and makes
recommendations on the routes to take. This
does not release you from full responsibility for
observing road safety, traffic conditions, legal
road traffic regulations and any other relevant
regulations while driving your vehicle.
As the driver, you must assess the traffic situ-
ation. Yo u have sole responsibility for road
safety while driving your car.
ûContinue to pay attention to the traffic situ-
ation.
WARNING!
Injury hazard. The telephone must not be
used near explosives or flammable materials
(e.g. at a petrol station) or near operations in-
volving explosives.
Mobile phones must be switched off in certain
hazardous areas such as near petrol stations,
fuel depots, chemical plants and demolition
work in progress using explosives, for exam-
ple. They can interfere with technical equip-
ment.
ûPlease heed appropriate warnings.
ûObserve statutory regulations and local re-
strictions when using the telephone.

Using the PCM 7
Introduction to operation
Switching the PCM on/off
Switching on/off via the ignition
(permanently)
ûSwitch on the ignition.
The PCM is permanently active.
Switching on/off via the left rotary knob
If the PCM is not to be permanently active, you can
also switch it on/off using the left rotary knob.
ûPress and hold the left rotary knob (volume
control) for at least one second.
Battery discharge protection
Switching on/off via the left rotary knob is also
possible when the ignition is off.
To protect your vehicle’s battery, the PCM will au-
tomatically switch itself off again after a few min-
utes.
NOTICE
Risk of damage. The PCM contains high-qual-
ity electronic components which require spe-
cial care with regard to maintenance.
The following should be observed:
– The display is sensitive to scratches.
– The device must not be sprayed with liq-
uids. Ingress of liquids can result in the de-
struction of the equipment.
ûCarefully clean your PCM periodically using
a dry, clean and soft cloth (microfibre cloth)
or a cleaning brush.
ûDo not exert excessive pressure on the sur-
face when cleaning.
>>>
ûUnder no circumstances may solvents
such as methylated spirits, thinners, petrol,
acetone or alcohol (ethanol, methanol or
isopropyl alcohol) or scouring agents of
any type be used.
ûRemove fingerprints using a slightly damp
cloth or a mild cleaning agent.
ûNever spray cleaning agents or other liq-
uids directly onto the display. Instead
dampen a cloth and carefully wipe the dis-
play clean.
ûIf faults occur, do not open the PCM equip-
ment yourself under any circumstances.
Always have defective devices repaired by
a qualified specialist workshop. We recom-
mend that this work be performed by a Por-
sche partner, as Porsche partners have
trained workshop personnel as well as the
necessary parts and tools.

sound with conventional stereo sources such as
CDs, radio or MP3 formats, for example.
The function can be set separately for the individ-

spectrum is automatically adjusted.
An additional sound control feature is available for
vehicles with convertible tops. It adjusts the music
playback to the special requirements when driving
with an open top.
1. Press the bbutton.
2. Press the ibutton or touch the tab of
the same name in the header.
3. Select “AudioPilot” to activate ( ) or

overemphasized frequencies in the midrange and
treble, which may be present in highly com-
pressed music material. Typical examples include
playing MP3 files with a low data rate or listening
to an FM station with unfavourable reception con-
ditions.
This function facilitates a relaxing, pleasant listen-

od.
1. Press the bbutton.
2. Press the ibutton or touch the tab of
the same name in the header.
3. Select “SET Burmester”.

Activating “Surround” achieves a sound setting
with greater spatial depth.
This permits the creation of a virtual surround
sound with conventional stereo sources such as
CDs, radio or MP3 formats, for example.
The function can be set separately for the individ-
ual audio sources. The listening position is then
set to “Symmetrical”.
The “Surround” function is generally activated with
multi-channel sources such as 5.1 DVDs, for ex-
ample.
It cannot be activated for the sources “AM” and

the same name in the header.
3. Select “SET Burmester”.
4. Select “Surround” to activate ( ) or
deactivate ( ) the function.
Setting live
The “Live” function generates surround sound that
sounds just like a live concert from any stereo mu-
