Cellular Phone: Description and Operation
Audio And Communication
The state-of-the-art audio and communication systems familiar from the Panamera are also available for the Cayenne. These systems meet the highest technical standards and have been optimised to provide enhanced user friendliness.
The now 7-inch large color screen of the CDR-31 audio system (standard for Cayenne and Cayenne S and of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) (standard for Cayenne Turbo, optional for all other Cayenne models) is positioned higher up on the dashboard for better ergonomics and designed as a touchscreen for quick and easy operation. Attention was paid to ensuring that the systems feature only the highest quality materials. The personalized options of the new Cayenne in the area of audio and communication have been further enhanced compared with the predecessor.
It is now available with the Burmester(R) High-End Surround Sound System from the Panamera. The universal audio interface has also been modified and now supports the connection of various iPod(R) and iPhone(R) models to the audio system via the USB connection. The telephone module is now compatible with an increased number of mobile phones.
CDR-31 audio system
NOTE: Option: A mobile phone can be connected via Bluetooth using the HFP (Hands-Free Profile). In this case, the CDR-31 provides the hands-free functionality.
The new CDR-31 audio system (standard for Cayenne and Cayenne S has an extremely high-quality user interface. The look, feel and central functions correspond to the latest PCM generation. The main feature of the new audio system generation is a 7-inch TFT display with touchscreen. All the functions (except for volume) of the CDR-31 system can be selected by touching the color screen. This allows fast and simple navigation through the various menus. In addition, the new display guarantees excellent legibility and clarity.
The user interface is adapted to suit the new color screen - both the operating structure and the screen design are the same as for PCM. The screen display is very clear thanks to the fact that many functions that are rarely used have been moved to the second menu level ( OPTION ). A maximum of 5 easy-to-read list entries are displayed on each page. Activating functions via the touchscreen will be the preferred mode of operation for the majority of customers. Nevertheless, virtually all functions can still be operated in the conventional way using the right rotary/pushbutton switch, depending on individual user preference.
The standard CDR-31 already has a sound system with 10 speakers divided into 4 channels with a total power output of 100 W and can be used to play audio CDs and music in MP3 format (formats: mp3, aac, wma). For radio listeners, there are up to 36 memory locations available. 30 locations can be freely assigned, while 6 presets are automatically assigned at regular intervals by the Best FM function of the CDR- 31 system to the stations with the best reception.
For customers with a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) or CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) mobile phone that supports the Hands-Free Profile (HFP), the mobile phone preparation is optionally available as a convenient Bluetooth(R) telephone solution with the Phone Book Access function, which can access the phonebook entries.
A 6-disc CD autochanger integrated in the CDR-31 system is also available instead of the standard single CD drive. It is located directly within reach of the driver and, like the single CD drive, also supports the music formats aac, mp3 and wma.
The optional universal audio interface makes it possible to connect an external audio source via the AUX interface. Operation takes place directly at the connected device. The AUX interface is located in the storage bin of the front center console. There is a 12-volt plug socket in the storage bin for supplying power to the external audio source.
The optional digital satellite radio SDARS (Satellite Digital Audio Radio Services) from the provider XM is also available for the first time in combination with the CDR-31 audio system for the new Cayenne in the USA and Canada. This opens up an extensive range of music, sport, entertainment and information stations for customers, with approx. 170 channels in the USA and approx. 130 channels in Canada at present. After a free, three-month trial period, customers can opt to continue using the XM service by paying a subscription. New functions such as searches for tracks and artists as well as auto-search for previously stored favourites allow excellent operating comfort.
Porsche Communication Management 3.1 (PCM) with navigation module
The new Cayenne is optionally available with the latest generation of Porsche Communication Management (PCM 3.1) including navigation module (standard in the Cayenne Turbo). The main features of the latest generation of PCM compared with the predecessor are:
- High-resolution 7-inch WVGA (Wide Video Graphics Array) screen 800 x 480 pixels
- 3D navigation map including Terrain and City models
- Speed limit display in PCM based on navigation data
- Map display in the instrument cluster
Navigation
With the navigation function, users have the option of switching the map view between the new 3D representation (Terrain and City models) or the familiar perspective or two-dimensional representations. A speed limit display shows any speed limits that apply on the roads included in the map material either in PCM (Car display) or in the TFT display on the instrument cluster (the availability of the speed limit display depends on the relevant database status of the map material). The navigation module has an integrated hard disk for fast route calculation. Three alternative route suggestions can be displayed.
The PCM system includes 11 speakers divided into 7 channels, an external amplifier and a total output of 235 W. The integrated CD/DVD player supports audio playback of audio and video DVDs and music in MP3 format (formats: mp3, aac, wma, wav).
For radio listeners, the audio system includes up to 48 memory locations (42 locations can be freely assigned, 6 presets for Best FM. The integrated CD/DVD player supports audio playback of audio and video DVDs and plays music in MP3 format. Also in 5.1 Discrete Surround Format with the BOSE(R) Surround Sound System or the Burmester(R) High-End Surround Sound System, otherwise in stereo. With the new PCM generation, a function for audio transmission via Bluetooth(R) is available for the first time in the Cayenne. This allows audio data to be transferred from external devices such as music players or mobile phones via the Bluetooth(R) interface of PCM if this function is supported by the device.
Telephone module (option)
The optional telephone module offers superior operating comfort and optimized voice quality. As a quad-band telephone module (for GSM networks 850, 900, 1,800 and 1,900 networks), it now covers all GSM frequency ranges currently used worldwide. Depending on the relevant mobile telephone, the three operating modes familiar from the Panamera are available: In addition to operation with SIM card inserted, the telephone module can automatically detect and switch between the Bluetooth(R) mobile phone profiles, SIM Access Profile (SAP) and Hands-Free Profile (HFP).
The Cayenne telephone module can also be ordered with a cordless Bluetooth(R) handset. A charging cradle for the cordless handset is located in the center console storage bin. With the CDR-31 audio system, customers who have mobile phones with the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) and only wish to use the basic mobile telephone functions can also choose the mobile phone preparation as an alternative to the telephone module for PCM. A 6-disc CD/DVD autochanger, which is integrated into the PCM system, is also available optionally instead of the standard single CD/DVD drive.
Audio interface (optional)
The optional universal audio interface makes it possible for the first time to connect an external audio source, e.g. an iPod(R) or a USB stick, and use it conveniently via the PCM system. Two connection points are provided for this purpose in the storage bin in the front center console:
1. The USB connection can be used to connect not only USB memory sticks with MP3 music and MP3 players, but also various iPod(R) and iPhone(R) models, which are operated via PCM, the optional multi-function steering wheel or the optional voice control. Digital audio transmission produces significantly enhanced sound quality with the iPod. Compared with the predecessor, transmission of the audio data to PCM is now digital instead of analog. Another advantage is the noticeably faster list operation in PCM. Access to all track and play lists has also been significantly improved, enabling much faster music searches. The normal Apple iPod(R) USB cable (supplied by Apple) is used as the connecting cable. The iPod(R) is also charged via this USB connection.
2. An AUX interface supports the connection of other external audio sources, e.g. a portable CD player. Operation takes place directly at the connected device. As with the CDR-31 audio system, the optional digital satellite radio SDARS available in the USA and Canada from the provider XM is also available in combination with PCM. In combination with PCM, the traffic information sent by XM can now additionally be taken into consideration during dynamic route guidance. Furthermore, extended data services for weather, sport and stock market information are also available.
Electronic logbook (optional)
The electronic logbook is also offered in the Cayenne as an option in combination with PCM. It is used to automatically record the mileage, distance travelled, date and time as well as the start and destination address for each trip.
Voice control (optional)
NOTE: Voice control cannot be activated during a telephone call.
A latest-generation voice control system is available in combination with the new hard-drive navigation system. Input of the city and the street is evaluated jointly to ensure greater unambiguity. This two-list matching offers simplified operation compared with the former successive evaluation while at the same time increasing the likelihood of finding the desired address immediately. This ensures relaxing and controlled driving comfort. Your hands can stay on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road.
BOSE(R) Surround Sound System
The optional BOSE(R) Surround Sound System (standard in the Cayenne Turbo) comprises a total of 14 speakers, a 200 W active subwoofer with Class D driver and 200 mm diaphragm diameter as well as 9 amplifier channels to provide an impressive sound experience. A total output of 585 W is therefore available. A frequency range from 40 Hz to 20 kHz is available at every seat; the maximum undistorted continuous sound pressure level for music signals is greater than 115 dB.
In combination with PCM, the system now opens up the impressive audio spectrum of digital 5.1 recordings when playing music from audio or video DVDs. The audio experience is the next best thing to a live performance with quality sound similar to what you get from a sophisticated home cinema system. In combination with the CDR-31 system, sound reproduction is generally in stereo. The system is immediately recognisable by the BOSE(R) logo on selected speakers.
Burmester(R) High-End Surround Sound System
The Burmester(R) High-End Surround Sound System was adapted specifically for the new Cayenne and offers superior total output and sound quality. The performance data figures provide impressive proof of this: 16 individually controlled speakers including a 300 W active subwoofer with Class D driver and 250 mm diaphragm diameter, 16 amplifier channels and a total output of more than 1,000 W.
The acoustically effective diaphragm area is over 2,400 cm2. A frequency range from 30 Hz to 20 kHz is available at every seat; the maximum undistorted continuous sound pressure level for music signals is greater than 120 dB. In combination with PCM, the Burmester(R) High-End Surround Sound System naturally also reproduces digital 5.1 recordings when playing back music from audio or video DVDs. In combination with the CDR-31 system, sound reproduction is generally in stereo. The consistent use of the highest quality materials and proven technologies from the Burmester(R) home hi-fi area ensures "best in class" sound quality in the entire signal chain. Three central goals can be achieved through the consistent use of glass fiber diaphragms in the mid-tone range: glass fiber is lighter than conventional paper diaphragms, enables more stable oscillations through its greater rigidity and leads to an undistorted sound through its higher internal damping.
Sound and technology are not the only areas of excellence offered by the Burmester(R) High-End Surround Sound System: its design also meets the highest standards. Externally, the system is recognizable by its discreet, silver colored trims with metal surface and Burmester(R) logos on selected loudspeaker covers. The unique sound and high-quality design of the Burmester(R) High-End Surround Sound System are therefore the perfect match for the new Cayenne.
