Seats

Standard seats

The standard seats with center upholstered in Alcantara offer a high degree of comfort with good lateral support and optimized under-seat suspension. Through bends, your seat gives you a feeling of security without restriction. The seats are equipped as standard with manual height and fore/aft adjustment and an electric backrest adjustment, enabling virtually every driver to find the ideal seat position, regardless of physical build.

Comfort seats with driver memory

Comfort seats with electric fore/aft, height, backrest and lumbar support adjustment are available
as an option. The tilt angle of the seat cushion is also electrically adjustable. The memory function supports the exterior mirrors and all seat positions on the driver’s side. Using the control switches in the door panel, it is possible to restore one of two personalized settings. Additionally, you can store a further seat position in each of the ignition keys. As soon as you unlock the door using the key remote, the driver’s seat and exterior mirrors resume their stored position.

Sport seats

The optional sport seats have firmer leather upholstery than the standard design. Higher side bolsters on the seat cushion and backrest provide additional lateral support. The seat height and
fore/aft position is adjusted manually, the backrest electrically.

Adaptive sport seats with driver memory

The optional adaptive sport seats in leather combine excellent comfort with first-rate track performance.

Along with all the adjustment features of the comfort seats, the side bolsters on the seat surface and backrest are individually electrically adjustable, for increased comfort on long journeys and tailor-made lateral support through bends or on the racetrack. The memory function supports the exterior mirrors and all driver’s seat positions, apart from the side bolsters.

Sport bucket seats*

For the ultimate sport experience, you could opt for sport bucket seats with a folding backrest, integral thorax airbag and manual fore/aft adjustment. The backrest shell is made from glass/carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic and has a stylish carbon-weave finish. The backrest pivots are positioned high in the side bolsters to provide lateral support to the pelvic region characteristic of a race seat. The seat upholstery is offered in all available leather types and colors.

Seat heating and ventilation

As an option, all compatible seats – apart from sport bucket seats – can be equipped with two-level seat heating.

Seat ventilation for the standard seats and comfort seats is also available as an option (only in conjunction with heated seats, climate control and part or full-leather interior). A slipstream effect evaporates perspiration moisture – for a comfortable seating environment. Ventilation intensity can be set to one of three levels.

* Child seats must not be used with the sports bucket seats.
Porsche Communication Management (PCM)
On request, the Cayman models can be equipped with the latest Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system. As the central control unit for audio, navigation and communications, it is now even more multifunctional and ergonomically operated.

The main feature is the 6.5-inch color touchscreen with a durable, easy-to-clean coating. Functional, innovative and easy to use, you will find the display very clearly presented, and a maximum of five list entries per page enables you to operate the unit quickly and safely. However, you can also choose to operate the PCM using conventional button controls.

Radio functions include up to 48 memory presets. The integrated single CD/DVD drive supports the MP3 format and—in combination with the optional Bose® Surround Sound system—is now able to play
back music from audio and video DVDs in the 5.1 digital format. An integrated six-disc CD/DVD changer with MP3 playback is also available as an option with PCM.

Navigation module

The optional GPS navigation system now has a hard drive containing map data for most areas, allowing for considerably faster route calculations with a choice of three alternative routes.

A touchscreen enables rapid destination input and instant viewing of points of interest (POIs) by simply allowing you to touch the symbols on the map. The system also supports automatic navigation along a previously recorded route (reverse-route navigation), as well as a compass and GPS based
navigation in regions not covered by your navigation DVD.

When viewing a map, it is possible to select between a new bird’s-eye perspective view and the familiar 2-D display. At highway exits, graphical turn indications are displayed for better orientation. In split-screen mode, you can choose to display not only the current map overview, but also a list of icons that represent dynamic route guidance.

Electronic logbook

The optional electronic logbook enables automatic recording of mileage, route distance, time and date, starting point and destination as part of every journey. Once you have downloaded the
logbooks from the PCM via Bluetooth® or the optional USB interface, you can evaluate the data on your PC using the software supplied.

Bluetooth® hands-free phone interface

To enable Bluetooth® connection for those mobile phones that support the Hands-Free Profile (HFP), an optional hands-free phone interface is available. With HFP, the PCM acts as a hands-free system. The mobile phone can remain tucked away, and PCM can be used to control functions of the phone.

Mobile phone / Bluetooth® connection
To enable Bluetooth® connection for those mobile phones that support the Hands-Free Profile (HFP), an optional hands-free phone interface is available. With HFP, the PCM acts as a hands-free system. The mobile phone can remain tucked away, and PCM can be used to control functions of the phone.

BOSE® Surround Sound-System
The optional BOSE® Surround Sound-System is compatible with both the CDR-30 audio system, which comes as standard, and the optionally available PCM. Developed specifically for Porsche, it has been optimised for the Cayman models. A total of 10 loudspeakers, including an active subwoofer and central speaker, and a seven-channel digital amplifier with a rated output of 385 watts, combine to produce a truly memorable sound experience.

During audio playback from audio or video DVDs (only in conjunction with the optional PCM), the system is now able to make full use of the impressive sound spectrum of 5.1 digital recordings. With music in 5.1 digital format, the sound has already been recorded in a multi-channel format and is faithfully reproduced exactly as the original.
Five dedicated audio channels (front left, front right, centre, surround left, surround right) deliver a sound that is as authentic as it is natural. The digital 5.1 surround sound is balanced, lifelike and crystal clear. It’s a sound that's as true to a live performance or cinematic experience as you can get.

Of course, you can still play traditional music sources such as CDs (only format supported by CDR-30), either in stereo or in one of the surround modes generated by the patented BOSE® Centerpoint® system. The new algorithm of Centerpoint® II extracts an even more precise and realistic sound from the stereo signal.

The SurroundStage® signal processing circuitry developed by BOSE® assigns each individual audio
channel, whether sourced from a DVD or generated by Centerpoint®, to a selected combination of loudspeakers and is therefore able to deliver an optimally balanced surround sound experience to both seat positions.

To complement these features, the BOSE® Surround Sound-System offers a comprehensive selection of equaliser presets for customised sound. The dynamic loudness function increases bass levels as you decrease the volume, thereby compensating for the decreasing sensitivity of the human ear at these frequencies. Moreover, the AudioPilot® Noise Compensation Technology uses a microphone to continuously measure the ambient noise inside the vehicle and adapts music playback automatically so that a consistent sound is maintained in all driving conditions.
The BOSE® Surround Sound-System. A genuine – perhaps the only – alternative to the characteristic engine sound.

Instruments
Each black circular dial in the instrument cluster – aluminum-colored in the Cayman S model – provides important information at a glance. In the center is the analog rev counter with digital speedometer and a customizable display of key data from the standard on-board computer. Additional data, such as average fuel consumption, fuel range or the data of the optional TPM can be shown as desired. The right-hand dial displays a range of information, including the outside temperature and shift pattern of the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), as well as the selected gear. The dial on the left contains the analog speedometer with digital trip meter and total distance display. The design and legibility of the dials are also enhanced by the white backlight illumination.

Steering wheels
The Cayman models feature as standard a sport steering wheel with full-size airbag. The steering wheel is adjustable for height and reach and the rim is in smooth leather. As an option, you can specify a multifunction steering wheel in leather with integrated buttons for the most essential audio and, where applicable, navigation and telephone functions. Alternatively, the multifunction steering wheel is available in smooth leather, Aluminum Look, carbon or macassar wood.

Fitted as standard in conjunction with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is the sport steering wheel with gearshift switches. A multifunction version of this steering wheel is offered as an option. Also available as an option is the Sport Design steering wheel with gearshift paddles.

For extra comfort on those cold days, steering wheel heating is also available on request for all
steering wheels (available only in conjunction with seat heating).

Additional Features

Air conditioning

The Cayman models come with a powerful and quiet air-conditioning system as standard. The optional climate control system offers even more uniform and comfortable ventilation.

Cruise control

This optional automatic speed controller for the 30 to 240 km/h (19–149 mph) speed range is operated using a switch on a separate control stalk on the steering column.

‘Welcome Home’ lighting

When the vehicle is opened or closed using the key remote, the standard automatic locator lighting automatically switches on the fog lights and LED daytime running lights. This is particularly convenient at night. In conjunction with the optional PCM and Sport Chrono Package Plus, the delayed lighting switch-off period can be adjusted as desired.

HomeLink® (programmable garage door opener)

The optional programmable garage door opener is integrated into the overhead console and remotely controls up to three different garage doors, gates, home lighting and/or alarm systems.

Water-repellent side windows

The surfaces of the side windows are treated with a water-repellent coating so that not only water but also dirt runs away more easily, thereby providing optimum visibility even in poor weather.

Windscreen wipers

The windscreen wipers with an adjustable intermittent wipe speed are aerodynamic and inconspicuous. The windscreen washer system has two heated and filtered nozzles. An integrated rain sensor is available as an option (in conjunction with auto-dimming mirrors).

Rear screen

The rear screen is tinted and has heating functionality. Its generous size affords excellent rearward visibility. A detachable fabric screen on the inside of the rear lid provides additional privacy for the main luggage area.

Rear wipers

The Cayman models can be equipped with an effective and streamlined rear wiper on request. It is styled to blend seamlessly into the overall design of the vehicle.

ParkAssist

As soon as reverse gear is engaged, the optional ParkAssist is activated automatically. If you move too close to an obstacle, a warning signal begins to sound, becoming faster until the car stops. The sensors of the optional ParkAssist are neatly concealed in the rear bumper.

Transport

Transport concept

The Cayman models satisfy your need for independence, whatever your destination or purpose. After all, there are occasions when you don't get into your car merely for the sake of it. Sometimes, you simply need to get from A to B. Such as a trip to the shops, or to pursue your favourite leisure activities.

With their generous transport concept, which includes two luggage compartments, a wide range of storage spaces and the optional roof transport system, the Cayman models are extremely practical. And, of course, they still offer an abundance of driving pleasure, whatever the reason for your journey.

Front luggage compartment

The front luggage compartment is lined with black carpet and offers 150 litres of loadspace.

Rear luggage space

The luggage space located beneath the upholstered rear lid is lined with carpet in the interior colour and consists of both a storage surface above the engine cover and the luggage compartment behind it. This design enables the convenient loading of longer items of luggage. It has a capacity of 260 litres and a high-quality finish. On request, you can have the panels surrounding the engine cover and the integral strut tower mouldings finished in the vehicle’s exterior colour.
A retaining rail at the front of the engine cover helps to secure any luggage under braking. A luggage stop behind the seats is also available as an option. Smaller items can be secured on top of the engine cover using a luggage net with four lashing eyelets. A stainless steel partition provides an elegant transition to the lower rear luggage area. This is the ideal space for larger items and also has four lashing eyelets for attaching a luggage net.

Another useful feature is the covered service opening, which conceals the conveniently located coolant and engine oil filler tubes.

Storage compartments

The interior of the Cayman models is packed with a wide range of ingenious and ergonomically positioned storage spaces. On the passenger’s side, there is a large, lockable glove box, which will contain integral CD storage if you have selected an optional sound system. Other storage compartments can be found beneath the radio or PCM, in the rear centre console and in the door armrests. In the Cayman S, the lids of these compartments are trimmed in leather. Between the two seats, on the engine bulkhead, is another compartment offering 4.5 litres of storage space. The dashboard trim strip neatly conceals two separate cup holders.

Roof transport system

The optional roof transport system is aerodynamically efficient and made of aluminium. Its low weight and uncomplicated mechanism make it easy to fit. A range of attachments are available for the roof transport system, such as a roof box and carriers for bikes and skis/snowboards – for sporty activities 365 days a year. The maximum permissible roof load is 60 kg. The preparation for mounting the roof transport system is fitted as standard, while attachments are available from Porsche Tequipment through your Porsche Centre.

Universal audio interface
With this optional feature, the storage compartment in the center console will, in conjunction with the optional PCM, contain up to three connections: one for your iPod®, one for a USB stick/ MP3 player and one as an AUX interface for any compatible audio source of your choice. The iPod® or USB stick can be controlled conveniently and safely using PCM. Through the USB socket, it is also possible to download data from the performance display of the Sport Chrono Package Plus, as well as data from the electronic logbook.

In conjunction with the CDR-30 audio system that comes as standard, the optional universal audio interface features an AUX socket for connecting any other type of audio source.

CDR-30 CD radio
Both Cayman models are equipped as standard with the CDR-30 audio system with 5-inch display (monochrome) and an MP3-compatible CD drive. An integrated six-disc CD/DVD autochanger is available as an option.

The FM dual tuner with RDS diversity, a total of 30 memory presets, dynamic autostore and speed-sensitive volume control are, as usual, all part of the standard package. Just like the high-quality sound, which is delivered by two high-range speakers in the dashboard, two low/mid-range speakers in the door trims and two 25-watt output stages.

For an even more impressive sound experience, you could opt for the Sound Package Plus or BOSE® Surround Sound System.
Controlling the CDR-30 could not be more simple: the function keys ensure that all the main functions are directly at your fingertips, and it is now possible to conveniently control all of the most important functions using the buttons on the optional multifunction steering wheel.
