The mobile phone can also
be controlled, depending on the
model, by means of the PCM,
the optional multifunction steering
wheel or the optional voice
con -
trol system, without it ever leav -
ing your pocket.
In addition, the telephone module
can be used to enable a Bluetoot h®
connection for those mobile
phones that only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). Here, the
GSM connection is established
through the aerial of the mobile
phone. The PCM acts as the
hands-free system and the mobile
phone can remain stowed away. A cordless handset is also avail
-
able for the telephone module.
However, this cannot be used for
Bluetooth
® calls via the Hands -
free Profile (HFP).
Mobile phone preparation for
PCM and CDR-30.*
To enable a Bluetooth® connec -
tion for those mobile phones
that only support the Handsfree
Profile (HFP), an optional mobile
phone preparation is available.
With HFP, the PCM or CDR-30 acts
merely as a hands-free system.
Here, too, you can leave the
mobile phone tucked away in
your pocket. However, the PCM or
CDR-30 is able to control only
the basic functions of the mobile
phone. The GSM connection is
established through the aerial of
the mobile phone. The mobile
phone preparation is available
w i t h or w i t hou t a mount ing bracket.
Universal audio interface for
PCM and CDR-30.
With this optional feature, the
storage compartment in the centre
console in combination with the
optional PCM will contain up to
Boxster | Comfort
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 conven -
iently and safely using the PCM.
Through the USB socket, it is also
possible to download data from
the performance display of the
Sport Chrono Package, as well as
data from the electronic logbook.
In conjunction with the CDR-30
audio system that comes as
standard, there is an AUX socket
for connecting any other t ype of
audio source.
Sound Package Plus for PCM
and CDR-30.
For sophisticated ears:
the optionally available Sound
Package Plus.
Seven speakers with a total
output of 185 wat ts combine to
create the perfect interior sound
experience. Sound set tings can
be customised using the CDR-30
audio system or the optional
Porsche Communication Manage -
ment (PCM, p. 83). Also includes
CD storage in the glove compart -
ment.

CD or CD/DVD autochanger.
As an option, the CDR-30 audio
system can be fit ted with an
integral six- disc autochanger, or
for the optional PCM, an integral
six-disc autochanger (DVD/audio
output only in conjunction with
PCM). Both are MP3 com
patible,
and hold up to six CDs
or DVDs.
They are easy to load via the
input slot on the CDR-30 or PCM.

BOSE® Surround Sound System
for PCM and CDR-30.
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
Boxster models. A total of 11 loud -
speakers, including an active sub-
woofer and central speaker, and
a seven-channel digital amplifier
with a total output of 385 wat ts,
combine to produce a truly memo -
rable sound experience.
During audio playback from audio
or video DVDs (only with the
optional PCM), the system is able
to make full use of the impressive
sound spectrum of 5.1 digital
recordings. With music in the 5.1
format, the sound has already
been recorded in a multichannel
format and is faithfully repro-
duced exactly as the original.

Five dedicated audio channels
(front left, front right, centre,
surround lef t, surround right)
deliver a sound that is as authen -
tic 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 expe -
rience 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 patented BOSE®
Centerpoint
® technology. The
algorithm of Centerpoint
® II
extracts a precise and realistic
sound from the stereo signal.
The SurroundStage® signal
processing circuitry developed
by BOSE
® assigns each indi -
vidual 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 sensitivit y of
the human ear at these frequen -
cies. Moreover, the AudioPilot
®
Noise Compensation Technology
uses a microphone to continu -
ously measure the ambient noise
inside the vehicle and adapts
music playback automatically so
that a consistent sound is main -
tained in all driving conditions.
The BOSE
® Surround Sound
System. A genuine – perhaps the
only – alternative to the charac -
teristic engine sound.

Environment
The Boxster models. Synonymous
with pure driving enjoyment.
Particularly in the open air.
Another reason why Porsche
has faced the challenges

of the future and, for decades,
has shown responsibility for
the environment.
With the latest technologies which
reduce both fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions.
With quality which means that over
70 % of all Porsche cars ever built
are still on the road. And with a
commitment, right from the design
stage, to environmentally friendly
recycling.
So that you can kindle the inner
fire of your Boxster. Looking

Environment

· 92 ·· 93 ·
In an era of intensif ying debate
about CO
2 emissions, every auto -
motive manufacturer is asking
itself what it has to of fer in terms
of environmental protection. Our
answer has long been the same:
maximum efficiency.
Over the last 15 years, Porsche
has been reducing the CO
2 emis -
sions of its vehicles annually by
an average of 1.7 %. In relation to
power output (g / km per hp), Porsche is already among those
manufacturers achieving the

lowest CO
2 emissions. This has
been achieved through the new
efficient drive concept (DFI), light-
weight construction, optimum
aerodynamics and low rolling
resistance.
This high level of environmental
responsibilit y is clearly demon -
st rated by our approach to env iron -
mental management at the
Our contribution to a cleaner environment:
pure engineering.
Porsche development centre in
Weissach. Here, all technological
developments are carried out
with environmental protection in
mind. The goal? Pure perform -
ance – but not at the expense of
the environment. A goal achieved
by the Boxster models.
Exhaust emission control.
Both engines comply with strin -
gent emission standards, including
Euro 5 in Europe and LEV II / ULEV
in the USA. Vehicles manufactured

by Porsche demonstrate that
even high-performance sportscars
can achieve very low emission
values in their respective category.
In short, the Boxster is not only
extremely sport y, it is also very
clean.
This is achieved by means of a
t wo -stage cascade-t ype cataly tic
converter which comprises t wo
monolith substrates on each of the
t win exhaust tracts. These spe -
cially coated substrates contain
ultra-fine honeycomb channels
in which pollutants are converted
as exhaust gas passes through.
The stereo lambda control cir -
cuitry controls and monitors each
cylinder bank separately, while
another lambda sensor on each
cylinder bank monitors pollutant
conversion in the respective cata -
ly tic converter (p. 38).*
Boxster | Environment
Fuel economy and recycling.
At Porsche, a fundamental aspect
of design is intelligent light weight
construction. For both economical

and ecological reasons. This
forms the basis for low fuel con -
sumption values in conjunction
with out-standing performance.
It is economical thanks to the
high proportion of aluminium cast
alloys, plastics and super high-
strength sheet steel used. This is
substantially lighter and more
stable than conventional steel.

Boxster S and Boxster

· 94 ·· 95 ·
Boxster | Environment
Boxster S
In the Boxster models approxi -
mately 20 % of components are
made from light weight alloys.
We use only innovative and envi -
ronmentally friendly components,
and each material is labelled
to facilitate its separation for
recycling. Recycled plastics are
used where they meet exacting
technical requirements. In all,
the Boxster models are approxi -
mately 95 % recyclable.

In addition, Porsche uses only
environmentally friendly water-
based paints. The Boxster models
are absolutely free of asbestos,
CFCs and components manufac -
t
ured using CFCs. This is because,
here at Porsche, environmental
protection does not begin at the
end of a vehicle’s life. It starts
at the planning and development
stage.
Fuel.
Both Boxster models are already
designed to operate on fuels
with an ethanol content of up to
10 %. Ethanol has a positive
impact on the CO2 balance since
the plants cultivated for the
production of this biofuel also
absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.

The release of hydrocarbons
from the fuel system has been
minimised thanks to the active
carbon filter and a special coating
on the fuel tank. All fuel lines
are made of aluminium and multi-
layered plastic.
.
Noise.
The Boxster models comply
with all applicable noise regula -
tions without any form of engine
encapsulation. To achieve this,
noises are eliminated at source.
Engine parts are stif f, moving
parts are light weight and toler-
ances are kept to a minimum.
Large-volume silencers and reso -
nators in the air intake system
minimise noise further. For the
entire service life of the vehicle.
Maintenance.
Long service intervals offer
clear advantages. For you: lower
costs and saved time. For the
environment: the use of fewer
consuables and replacement
parts. For full details of service
intervals, please refer to the
separate price list.

colour, the materials, wheels or
the BOSE® Surround Sound System, you can personalise your Boxster
or Boxster S to suit your taste.
After all, you’ll be spending a long
time in it.
