Glossary
Device manager
The PCM device manager administers the
connections to external devices such as
mobile phones via Bluetooth®, WiFi or cable.
You have the option of connecting your device
to various services, such as telephony and
audio streaming, and of establishing a data
connection to use the many online services as
well as the Porsche Connect app or Apple®
CarPlay. You can access the device manager by
pressing the telephone icon in the status bar or
via the 'PHONE' options menu. In the Panamera,
there is a separate 'DEVICES' tab for the device
manager. Select the appropriate service and
follow the instructions to connect your device.
If the device is previously unknown to the
vehicle, you will be prompted to undertake
a pairing process, e. g. for Bluetooth® or
WiFi. If you want to change the connection
configuration, simply select another device
for the appropriate service in the device
manager.

DTMF
DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency) is a
method of telephone signalling, which can be
used, for example, to transmit tones whenever
the keypad is operated during a call, e. g. to
operate the mailbox or voice server.
In-band ringing
Some mobile phones are able to transfer their
ringtone to the vehicle via Bluetooth®. When a
call comes in, PCM then rings with the tone set
on the phone rather than with its own tone. In
this case, the ringtone settings in PCM are not
active. The ringtone can only be set via the
mobile phone.

Mobile phone preparation
Mobile phone preparation (in conjunction with
PCM) is a typical Bluetooth® hands-free system
based on the Bluetooth® Handsfree Profile (HFP).
The Bluetooth® mobile phone preparation
supports the following functions in principle:
pairing of a mobile phone with search
initiated from the car or phone
automatic connection of a paired device
at system start-up
basic phone functions (making, receiving
and ending calls)
hands-free capability via the in-car system
status displays such as network name
and signal strength
transfer of phone book contacts and call
lists from the mobile phone
sending of DTMF tones
transfer of text messages and e-mails from
the mobile phone
Since the range of supported functions varies
greatly between different mobile phones, please
refer to the detailed information relevant to your
vehicle equipment and mobile phone, starting
on page 45.

Online search
From 2016, the online search feature in PCM
allows users to look for points of interest
in various search localities (near car, near
destination or free location input) by entering
a search term. The query is sent to a GOOGLE®
server which returns a response. The results
are displayed in a list on PCM.
Online services
Online services is how we refer to those
functions that download their information to
the car via a mobile Internet connection.
From June 2016, PCM in all models supports
GOOGLE® Earth, online search and online
traffic services, as well as other app information
services (parking space search, fuel prices,
news, etc.). Services such as web radio, app
destinations and calendar can also be used
via the Porsche Connect app
