Bury and Co KG PAG BTBH User Manual
Dear Owner,
in this operating manual you will learn about the
various functions of the PCM (Porsche
Communication Management) and the control
options. Get acquainted with the operation of your
PCM while the vehicle is at rest. In order to take
advantage of its expanded scope of features, your
full concentration is required during this learning
process. In addition, attempting to drive while
learning these functions will draw your attention
away from the road, thus putting yourself and
others at risk of an accident.
On-board literature
Keep the on-board literature in the vehicle at all
times and if you ever come to sell your vehicle,
please hand it over to the new owner.

Important information on
operation and road safety
The PCM (Porsche Communication
Management) is the central control unit for the
radio, disc mode (CD/DVD, USB, iPod, and an
external audio source), sound settings, on-board
computer, navigation system, and telephone.
To avoid danger or injury to yourself and others
while using your PCM, you must take the following
into consideration:
WARNING!
Accident hazard. The distraction could result
in you losing control of the vehicle.
û Operate your PCM only if you are safely in
control of your vehicle and when the traffic
conditions permit. If in doubt, stop the car
and operate the PCM while the vehicle is
parked.
WARNING!
Injury hazard. Opening the housing or a
damaged housing represents a hazard due to
invisible laser radiation.
û The PCM is a Class 1 laser product. Do not
open the housing.
The PCM does not contain any userserviceable parts. Any maintenance work
must be performed exclusively by qualified
service personnel.
WARNING!
Accident hazard. The navigation system
serves only to assist the driver and provide a
suggestion for the route of the journey. This
does not release you from complete
responsibility for your correct conduct in
traffic according to the Road Traffic
Regulations or other relevant regulations.
As the driver, you must assess the particular
traffic situation. You alone bear the full
responsibility for road safety.
û Continue to pay attention to the traffic
situation.
WARNING!
Serious personal injury or death. The
telephone must not be used near explosives or
flammable materials (e.g. at a gas station) or
near operations involving explosives.
Cell phones must be switched off in certain
hazardous areas such as near gas stations,
fuel depots, chemical plants, and demolition
work in progress using explosives, for
example. The electric spark from the cell
phone could ignite chemical vapors near these
hazardous areas, which could result in serious
personal injury or death.
û Follow corresponding instructions.
û Observe statutory regulations and local
restrictions when using the telephone.

Introduction to operation
Operating functions using the
touchscreen
The display of the PCM is a color touchscreen for
easy and user-friendly operation of the menus.
You can operate all menu functions, list entries,
and text input fields as well as the arrow symbols
and scrollbars by lightly touching the
corresponding location on the display.
Touchscreen disabled
If the menu functions cannot be operated by
touching the display, it is because the touchscreen
is disabled.
Proceed as follows to enable the touchscreen:
1. Press the d button.
2. Press the i button or touch the tab of
the same name in the header.
3. Select "

NOTICE
Risk of damage. The PCM contains high-
quality electronic components which require
special care with regard to maintenance.
The following should be noted:
– The display scratches easily.
– The device must not be sprayed with
liquids. Entrance of liquids into the unit can
result in the destruction of the equipment.
û Carefully clean your PCM periodically using
a dry, clean, and soft cloth (micro-fiber
cloth) or a cleaning brush.
s:
>>>
û Do not exert excessive pressure on the
surface when cleaning.
û Under no circumstances use solvents such
as methylated spirits, thinners, gasoline,
acetone as well as alcohol (ethanol,
methanol, or isopropyl alcohol) or scouring
agents of any type.
û Clean fingerprints using a slightly damp
cloth or a mild cleaning agent.
û Never spray cleaning agents or other
liquids directly onto the display. Moisten a
cloth and then carefully wipe the display.
û If faults occur, do not open the PCM
equipment yourself under any
circumstances. Always have defective units
repaired by a qualified specialist workshop.
We recommend that this work be
performed by an authorized Porsche
dealership, as these have trained workshop
personnel as well as the necessary parts
and tools.
At particularly low temperatures, the maximum
brightness of the display is only reached after
a few minutes.

Satellite radio
Satellite radio offers the reception of a multitude
of stations - all in digital (CD) quality. The provider
XM Satellite Radio offers a wide range of
programs - music, sports, news, and
entertainment, some without the interruption of
advertisements. XM Satellite Radio offers over
170 channels from coast to coast.
Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG is not responsible
for the content offered by the broadcasters.
The number of satellites and their location in orbit
ensures broad coverage and reception 24 hours a

When reception is blocked by buildings or
lanes with many overhanging trees, the
receiver may be muted occasionally.
There may also be problems with reception if
you have mounted a roof-top carrier or similar
object on your car.
To make it easier to find that one program you
want without having to sift through them all, the
various stations are divided into what are known
as categories. These categories make it possible
to select a station by the category of program that
it is broadcasting.
If you are not already receiving XM service:

(see next chapter)
– Contact XM by calling 1-800-XMRADIO (1-800-
967-2346) to request activation
– Begin enjoying the complimentary trial period.
To use the service described above, you must
sign up with the provider XM Satellite Radio.
When selecting a service for the first time, you
must request that the provider enable it.
The description of the individual menu items
reflects the information available at the time this
manual was prepared.
