‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
This standard lighting function
provides comfort and safety at the
push of a button. The low-beam
headlights are automatically
illuminated when the car is locked
or unlocked using the key remote.
The lights remain illuminated for
a predefined period, lighting your
way to or from the car. This delay
is user-adjustable via Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM) on vehicles with the optional
Sport Chrono Package Plus.
ParkAssist.
This optional parking aid is auto-
matically enabled whenever you
select reverse gear. Move too
close to a stationary object and a
warning signal is emitted. Continue
to reverse and the tone increases
in frequency. The distance is
measured by ultrasonic sensors
which are neatly concealed in the
rear bumper.
Cruise control.
This convenient option has an
effective range of 30 – 240 km / h
(19 – 149 mph). The system is
operated using a switch in a
separate control stalk on the
steering column and can even
be used in first gear.

This optional garage door opener
is freely programmable and inte-
grated within the cockpit. It offers
remote control for up to three
garage, gate, home lighting and/or
alarm systems and is compatiblewith almost all garage and exterior-
door systems.

mirrors. The package also includes
an integrated rain sensor for the
front wiper system.

compartment in the 911 GT2 is
105 litres. The entire compartment
is lined with high-quality, scratch-

space inside the car is easily

immobiliser with in-key transpon-
der as well as a powerful alarm
system featuring contact-sensitive
exterior protection and radar-
based interior surveillance as stan-
dard. The alarm system is

remote control function in the
ignition key.
Vehicle tracking system.
The 911 GT2 can also be equipped
with an optional factory-fitted
preparation enabling future
installation of a vehicle trackingsystem obtainable from Porsche
Tequipment. This system allows
a stolen vehicle to be traced
throughout most of Europe, and
requires the installation of a
special wiring loom and a high-
capacity battery.

The optional Chrono Package Plus
combines a dash-mounted
analogue/digital timer with a range
of useful functions. Lap or journey
times can be viewed, stored and
analysed using the performance
display in PCM. The information
available includes time elapsed
and distance travelled on the cur-
rent lap, as well as the number
oflaps completed and their
respec-
tive times. You can also view the
current fastest lap and remaining

be recorded for any stretch of
road, and benchmark times can be
defined. Other useful
features
include a personal
memory func-
tion, controlled via PCM, which
stores personal preferences for a
range of systems, including lights,
wipers, door locks and air condi-
tioning.

The 911 GT2 |Comfort
pairing is complete, 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. Also, depending on the
phone, it can be controlled using
the PCM, the multifunction steering
wheel or the voice control system,
without it ever leaving your pocket.
Mobile phone preparation.
As an option, the mobile phone
preparation kit (with or without
cradle) is available for Bluetooth
®
connection of mobile phones
which only support the hands-free
profile (HFP). For connection by
HFP, the PCM acts merely as a
hands-free system. Here, too, the
mobile phone can remain tucked
away. Only the basic phone func-
tions can be operated using the
PCM. The GSM connection is
established via the aerial of the
mobile phone.**
Universal audio interface.
With this optional feature, the
storage compartment in the centre
console will contain three connec-
tions: one for your iPod
®, one
for a USB stick/MP3 player and
one as an AUX interface for any
chosen compatible audio source.
The iPod
®or USB stick can be
operated conveniently and safely
via the PCM, the multifunction
steering wheel or the voice control
system. The USB connection can
also be used to download data
from the performance display of
the Sport Chrono Package Plus
and the electronic logbook.
Sound Package Plus.
Fitted as standard is Sound Pack-
age Plus. A separate amplifier with
a total rated output of 235 Watts,
combined with nine speakers,
ensures a perfect sound for the
interior.
Electronic logbook.
The optional electronic logbook
allows automatic recording of
mileage, distance covered, date
and time, starting point and desti-
nation on each trip. Once you
have downloaded the logbooks
from the PCM via Bluetooth
®or
via the optional USB interface,
the data can be analysed on
your home PC using the software
supplied. The software complies
with all statutory requirements
for automatic logbooks as speci-
fied by the German revenue
authorities.
TV tuner.
A TV tuner, available as a option,
receives analogue and digital
television broadcasts (DVB-T) to
provide entertainment between
journeys. For your safety, the
TV picture cannot be displayed
while the vehicle is in motion.
Voice control system.
Almost all of the functions of the
PCM can be controlled via the
latest optional voice control sys-
tem. The menu item is read aloud
exactly as it is displayed on thescreen and the voice control
system recognises commands or
number sequences, irrespective
of the speaker. It gives audible
feedback and guides you through
the functions. There is no need to
‘train’ the system. Phone book
entries can be retrieved, a radio
station selected or the navigation
destination entered directly by
speaking whole words, rather than
dictating one letter at a time.
Telephone module.
The optional GSM telephone
module offers convenience and
excellent reception. By inserting a
SIM card directly into the PCM’s
integral SIM reader, calls can be
made using either the hands-free
facility or the optional cordless
handset. For even more conve-
nience, the Bluetooth
®capability
of a mobile phone can be used
to make calls via the SIM Access
