Steering wheels.
Where your journey takes you is in
your hands. For this reason, all available
steering wheels feature a high-grip
rim in smooth-finish leather and offer
outstanding ergonomics. The reach from
the steering wheel to the gear lever is
short for sport y and fast gear changes.
In combination with the optional fully
electric seats, the steering wheel is also
electrically adjustable and for even more
convenience, a memory function is
included.
Sports steering wheel.
The three-spoke sports steering wheel is
fit ted as standard and offers up to 40 mm
of adjustment for both height and reach.
The steering wheel rim is upholstered in
smooth-finish leather. In conjunction with
optional PDK, the steering wheel features
t wo ergonomic switches. One press with the thumb and PDK shifts up. One pull
with the index finger and PDK shifts down.
Either the right or left hand can be used.
With the optional Sport Chrono Package
and PDK, there is an additional display
above the airbag module. It tells you
whether the SPORT, SPORT PLUS and
Launch Control functions are activated.
The optional multifunction steering wheel
provides extra operating comfort with

four function but tons and t wo thumb -
wheels for convenient operation of many
audio, telephone and navigation functions. SportDesign steering wheel.
Visually, the optional SportDesign steering
wheel is distinguished by its st ylish twin-
spoke design. It ’s in safe hands, even on
the sportiest of drives. In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheel features t wo gearshift paddles.
Made from a strong alloy, they are ergo
-
nomically located behind the right and left
steering wheel spokes. Pull the right-hand
paddle and PDK shifts up. Pull the left-
hand paddle and PDK shifts down.
When combined with the optional Sport
Chrono Package and PDK, the steering
wheel has an additional display in the
left- and right-hand spokes to indicate
whether the SPORT, SPORT PLUS and
Launch Control functions are activated.

Steering wheel heating.
For extra comfort on those cold days, a
heating function is available as an option
for the sports steering wheel and the
multifunction steering wheel. The heating
is activated by a separate control but ton
on the steering wheel and the rim is
warmed to a pleasant temperature. Cold weather should never be a reason to

prevent you from enjoying your open-top
driving experience.

Sports seats.
The standard Sports seats are comforta
-
ble and provide support even during
performance driving. The seat centres
are finished in Alcantara, a material
renowned in motorsport for its durability.
The seats are equipped as standard with
electric backrest adjustment and manual
height and fore/aft adjustment.
Sports seats Plus.
The optional Sports seats Plus are uphol -
stered in smooth -finish leather. The side
bolsters of the seat squab and backrest
are more prominently defined and have
a firmer, more sport y padding for even
bet ter lateral support. The backrest shell
up to the headrest has a Silver Grey Metallic paint finish. To help you find

the optimum posture, the seats feature
electric backrest adjustment and manual
height and fore/aft adjustment.
Fully electric Sports seats.
If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness
for comfort, the optional fully electric
Sports seats offer fully electric adjust -
ment of seat height, backrest angle,
squab angle and squab depth. Also electri -
cally operated are the fore/aft adjustment,
four-way lumbar support and even the
steering column. The memory function
supports the exterior mirrors and all seat
positions on the driver’s side as well as
set tings for the steering wheel, lights,
wipers, two-zone automatic climate control

(optional), door locks, PCM (optional) and

Adaptive Sports seats Plus.
The optional adaptive Sports seats Plus
are the ideal combination of sport and
comfort. Offering 18-way fully electric
adjustment, the seats can be optimally
adapted to meet your needs in terms
of seat height, squab and backrest angle,
squab length, fore/aft adjustment
and four-way lumbar support. Steering
column adjustment is also electronically

side bolsters) on the driver’s side as well
as the positions of the steering wheel
and exterior mirrors. The memory func -
tion additionally supports settings for
the lights, wipers, two-zone automatic
climate control (optional), door locks,
PCM (optional) and instrument cluster.
Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats. Seats are heated in the squab,
backrest and side bolsters.
On request, we can equip all our seats
with seat ventilation (only in conjunction
with seat heating). A slipstream effect is produced by active ventilation of the

perforated seat centre and backrest and
by passive aeration at the side bolsters.
This evaporates perspiration moisture
and therefore makes for a dry and
pleasant seating environment, even in
hot weather.

Child seats.
A Boxster should be enjoyed by passen -
gers of all ages. ISOFIX child seat
preparation is available as an option and
includes a deactivation function for the
passenger airbag.

Electronic logbook for PCM.
An electronic logbook is available for
PCM as an option. It enables automatic
logging for every journey of mileage,
route distance, date, time, starting
location and destination. After you have
downloaded your logbooks from the PCM
via the USB or Bluetooth
® inter face, you
can evaluate the data on your home PC using the soft ware supplied. The soft
-
ware fulfils all statutory requirements
for automatic logbooks as specified by
the German revenue authorities.
TV tuner for PCM.
The optional T V tuner is capable of
receiving unencrypted analogue and
digital television broadcasts (DVB -T) to provide entertainment bet ween journeys.
For your safet y, the T V picture is
switched off while the car is in motion.
Voice control system for PCM.
To get what you want, you like to get
straight to the point. Almost all of the
functions of PCM can be controlled using
the optional voice control system with word-by-word input. The menu item is
read aloud exactly as it is displayed on
the screen and the voice control system
recognises commands or sequences

of numbers, whoever the speaker. It then
gives an audible acknowledgement and
carries out the functions you request.
There is no need to ‘train’ the system.
Telephone module for PCM.*
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. By inserting a SIM card directly
into the PCM’s integral SIM card reader,
calls can be made using the hands-free
facility. For even more convenience, the
Bluetooth
® capability of a mobile phone
can be used to make calls via the SIM Access Profile (SAP). Once automatic
pairing is complete, the mobile phone’s
aerial is switched off to conserve bat tery
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.
Depending on the phone, it can also be controlled using PCM, the optional

multifunction steering wheel or the
optional voice control system, without
it ever leaving your pocket.

In addition, the telephone module enables
you to establish a Bluetooth
® link with
those mobile phones that only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this case, the
GSM connection is always established

can leave the mobile phone tucked away.
On request, a cordless handset for the tele -
phone module is also available. Stored in
the centre console, it features a display
and keypad. However, the handset cannot
be used for Bluetooth
® links established

Mobile phone preparation
for PCM and CDR.*
To enable a Bluetooth® connection for
those mobile phones that only support
the Handsfree Profile (HFP), an optional
mobile phone preparation is available.
With HFP, the CDR audio system or PCM
acts as a hands-free system. The CDR
audio system and PCM are able to control
all the basic functions of the mobile
phone. The GSM connection is established
through the aerial of the mobile phone.
Universal audio interface
for PCM and CDR.
With this feature, the CDR audio system
is supplemented by an AUX inter face
(e.g. for connecting a compatible MP3
player) installed in the glove compart -
ment. In conjunction with optional PCM,
a USB port is included to enable you
to connect your iPod
® or a USB stick.
Whichever device is connected, it can be
controlled conveniently and safely using
PCM, the optional multifunction steering
wheel or the optional voice control
system. Through the USB port, it is also
possible to download data from the
performance display of the optional
Sport Chrono Package as well as data
from the optional electronic logbook.
CD or CD/DVD autochanger.
An integrated six- disc CD autochanger
is available for the CDR audio system on
request, while an integrated six- disc CD/
DVD autochanger is available for optional
PCM. Both support the playback of tracks
in MP3 format.
Sound Package Plus for PCM and CDR.
For sophisticated ears: the optionally
available Sound Package Plus.
With a total output of 185 wat ts, seven
loudspeakers combine to create the
perfect interior sound experience. Audio
set tings can be customised using the
