Porsche Cayman 981 Rear Camera with PCM 3.1 Integration
Make reversing your Porsche easier, safer and more precise with a Porsche Cayman 981 rear camera. The system integrates with the genuine Porsche PCM 3.1 display and automatically shows a clear, full-colour rear image when you select reverse gear.
Because the Cayman has a low seating position and restricted rearward visibility, the area directly behind the vehicle can be difficult to judge. Therefore, the camera provides a wide view of kerbs, walls, posts, parked vehicles and other nearby obstacles.
In addition, dynamic parking guidelines appear over the camera image and move according to the steering position. As a result, the display shows the vehicle’s expected reversing path and helps you judge turning angles more accurately.
The rear handle camera sits discreetly above the number plate, so it maintains a clean and integrated exterior appearance. Meanwhile, the PCM 3.1 integration removes the need for a separate aftermarket monitor inside the cabin.
How It Works
When you select reverse gear, the control module automatically activates the camera and switches the genuine Porsche PCM 3.1 display to the live rear image.
The camera provides a wide 170° viewing angle, allowing you to see more of the area behind the Cayman. At the same time, dynamic guidelines move with the steering position and indicate the direction the vehicle is expected to travel.
Therefore, you can judge both the available space and your intended reversing path more easily. This additional guidance proves particularly useful when entering narrow garages, aligning the vehicle within a parking bay or manoeuvring through confined areas.
Furthermore, the high-quality CCD image sensor provides dependable image performance during everyday use. The 0.01 lux minimum illumination also improves visibility in darker locations such as underground car parks and garages at night.
Automatic white balance adjusts the image as lighting conditions change. In addition, the temperature-resistant construction supports reliable operation through varying weather conditions.
Once you move out of reverse, the PCM display automatically returns to the screen that was previously in use.
