The Cayenne models are marked by exceptional versatility. With the optional High-End Surround Sound System from Burmester® it could even be said that they offer concert-hall qualities. Once you’ve heard it for yourself, you’ll know we are not exaggerating. Based in Berlin, Burmester® is one of the most respected premium audio manufacturers worldwide. The Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System is available as an option for all Cayenne models with CDR and PCM.

The technologies behind the system meet the same exacting standards as those in the company’s high-end home audio products. State-of-the-art and featured like this in a Porsche for the first time. The extravagance is uncompromizing, the craftsmanship excellent, the sound phenomenal. The system owes its eminence to countless details, and one overriding goal: perfection in sound.

In figures: 16-channel amplifier with a total output of more than 1,000 watts, 16 loudspeakers (including active subwoofer with 300-watt Class D amplifier), a total diaphragm area of more than 2,400 cm2, and a frequency range of 30 Hz to 20 kHz.

Crossover technology has been carried over virtually unmodified from the company’s high-end home audio systems. Analog and digital filters have been optimally defined for their new location and finely tuned after extensive in-car audio testing.

The tweeters are ribbon-based air motion transformers (AMT) offering unmistakably fine, clear and undistorted high-frequency sound reproduction with excellent level stability.

Furthermore, the elegant, purist design with galvanised surrounds and Burmester® logos on selected loudspeakers makes it clear that the appeal of the Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System is as much about the visual as it is the audio.

Optional for all Cayenne models.

PCM is the central control system for all information and communication functions. It is powerful and versatile, yet easy to use.

Key features include a 7-inch high-resolution touchscreen display. As before, you can also operate PCM using the rotary push-button control. The menu layout is extremely clear, with no more than five entries per page enabling fast and accurate operation. A help function is displayed at the bottom of the screen for further guidance in specific situations.

Radio functions comprise 42 presets, an FM twin-tuner with RDS frequency diversity, which continuously searches the airwaves for the best possible signal from the selected radio station, and dynamic autostore.

The CD/DVD drive plays CDs and audio DVDs and is MP3-compatible. Audio playback of video DVDs is also supported. An optional integrated six-disc CD/DVD changer is available for PCM. The standard universal audio interface can be used to store and play up to 10,000 MP3 music files on the internal PCM hard drive.*

A navigation module with high-speed hard drive is included with PCM. The map display offers a conventional 2D layout as well as a perspective view. In some regions, even topography with superimposed satellite map and buildings can be displayed in 3D. In split-screen mode, you can view the current map section together with a list of icons for the next manoeuvre. The route is calculated based on official traffic reports (TMC) and data. The system also indicates the respective speed limit for the roads covered in the database via PCM or the TFT display in the

instrument cluster.

In conjunction with the optional online services, online destinations can also be easily imported into the navigation system.*

Standard on the Cayenne Turbo. Optional for all other Cayenne models. * Available from 11/2012. ** TMC Pro is supported in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.Optional for all Cayenne models. * Suitable for receiving analogue and digital TV signals (DVB-T in MPEG-2 standard) – where available.

This optional quad-band GSM telephone module combines ease of use with optimized sound quality.

Simply insert your mobile phone SIM card in the slot in PCM to make calls via the hands-free facility or optional Bluetooth® handset. For even greater convenience, you can use a - compatible handset. Once connected, the GSM antenna on the mobile phone is disabled to prolong battery life and the external vehicle antenna is utilised instead. Depending on the phone model, you can access contact details on the mobile phone SIM card and internal memory and perform all operations via PCM, voice control or the multifunction steering wheel, which means your phone can remain in your pocket.

In addition, the telephone module enables you to establish a Bluetooth® connection to a mobile phone that only supports the Hands-Free Profile (HFP). In this case, the GSM connection to the mobile phone network is via the handset antenna. PCM acts as a hands-free system.

A cordless handset with keypad and display is also available as an option. This is stowed in the centre console. However, the handset cannot be used to establish a Bluetooth® connection using the Hands-Free Profile (HFP).

Optional for all Cayenne models.

This optional addition to PCM enables you to automatically record on every journey the mileage, route distance, date and time as well as starting location and destination. Data can be downloaded from PCM via Bluetooth® or a USB port and processed on a PC using software included with the package.

Cruise control automatically regulates the speed of your vehicle for added driver comfort on longer journeys. It can be used at speeds between 20 mph or more and is operated using a button on one of the control stalks.

Standard on all Cayenne models.

Optional on all Cayenne models, adaptive cruise control regulates the speed of your vehicle in line with that of the vehicle in front. To do that, the system uses a radar sensor in the central air intake to monitor the road up to 650 miles ahead.

If you approach another vehicle that is travelling slower than your selected cruising speed, the system slows the engine or gently applies the brakes. This continues until the distance that you have preset is maintained. If heavier braking is required, the driver has to actively intervene. Your vehicle will now follow the one in front at a reduced speed.

If the other vehicle decelerates further, adaptive cruise control will continue to reduce your speed – even down to a halt. When the road ahead is free once more, the car automatically returns to your selected cruising speed between 20 mph or more. To pull away after an automatic stop, simply use the control lever or depress the accelerator pedal.

If selected by the driver, the integrated Stop & Go function automatically applies the brakes and

then drives off again in congested traffic.

For added safety, the system also features integrated Porsche Active Safe (PAS). The system visually and audibly alerts the driver in the event of a sudden decrease in distance and briefly tugs on the brakes. It can also intervene in the braking process and apply increased braking pressure through to all-out emergency braking, if required.

Optional for all Cayenne models. * Available from 11/2012.

Lane Change Assist (LCA) monitors the area behind the vehicle and the blind spot using radar sensors. At speeds of 20 mph or more, the system alerts the driver of a vehicle in the blind spot or approaching quickly from behind via a visual signal from the exterior mirrors. This enhances comfort and safety, particularly when driving on the motorway. However, LCA does not actively intervene in the controlling of the vehicle and can be deactivated at any time.

Optional for all Cayenne models.

The speed limit indicator informs the driver about speed restrictions, restrictions on overtaking and when these no longer apply, which is recorded using a camera.

Information is shown on the colour TFT display in the instrument cluster and via PCM. If the driver misses a traffic sign – e. g. due to heavy rainfall or darkness – the speed limit stored in the navigation module is automatically displayed. This leaves the driver free to focus on the road ahead.

Optional for all Cayenne models. * Available from 11/2012.

Providing a compelling 360-degree soundstage, the BOSE® Surround Sound System is compatible with both Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and the CDR-31 audio system, it features a total of 14 loudspeakers (including active subwoofer and centre-fill speaker) that combine with a 585-watt 9-channel amplifier to produce a powerful sound experience.

In combination with Porsche Communication Management (PCM), the BOSE® Surround Sound System enables playback of audio DVDs, making 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 button, in one of the virtual surround modes generated by BOSE® Centerpoint® 2 technology.

The BOSE®-patented AudioPilot® noise compensation technology uses a microphone in the cockpit to monitor ambient sound. The system is then able to provide real-time adjustment of all audio output – for a more consistent aural experience.

Standard on the Cayenne Turbo. Optional for all other Cayenne models.
