i have recently seen e-bay item (PCM3 with wiring harnesses) with the seller/shop claiming that it is retrofitable to older models. if you can find it maybe worth a call

FYI just got PCM 3.0 Navigation Database America DVD. FYI the content of it looks like this. Database files are dated 1.2008 and 2.2008

it charges what it says in the manual

Changing Cayenne Dashboard dials I thought maybe this document should be in this section. cayenne_dials.pdf Author SA321 Category Cayenne (9PA, 9PA1) - Accessories Submitted 04/01/2009 08:05 AM Updated 05/26/2020 08:48 PM

This is "hard wire" (not FM modulators) for PCM 3. (touchscreen, MY 2009-). There is AUX-in but I dont know if it also requires activation code

pull them off. nothing specific. here is cayenne info that comes with gemballa faces. cayenne_dials.pdf

A. you still need activation code from your dealer for this to work (activated by PIWIS - 10min max) !!!!!!! B. you should be capable of soldering IPOD connectors (30-pins) or find workaround (like buy IPOD cable from Porsche) C. I could not find who manufactures USB connector so this DYI is only for IPOD and AUX-in OEM parts (from TSB 9122) we are trying to replicate 955.642.351.10 console (goes into storage tray between front seats on Cayenne) 997.044.902.43 wire harness (with green connector. it goes into lower right hand side of a big connector if you are looking at the back of PCM) 997.612.471.01 Ipod Cable To replicate IPOD+AUX part of wire harness you need at one end a green connector as on picture. I don't know its part number so I used blue connector 955.044.902.44 ($2) (on a B&W picture) plus pins 999.650.135.22 x10 ($4-5 total). In blue connector I removed the "bump". If anyone knows the green connector number please tell me. Alternatively use standard IDC 2.54mm 12-pin female connector (will be tricky to plug in but anyhow). On the other end it is IDC 2mm 10-pin female connector that plugs into console 955.642.351.10. Wires used are from old Ethernet cables which all of us have plenty (8 wires in each but you only need 9) Pin-outs connections (image attached). If anybody needs IPOD connections they are here http://pinouts.ru/Devices/ipod_pinout.shtml There is 1.5 kOhm resistor between PCM3 pins 3 and 12. Aux-in is going into PCM3 on pins 2 and 7 through 100 Ohms resistors (one for each channel) USB is totally separate cable with connectors looking like on pictures attached (if anybody knows where to get them tell me)

France http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...cayenne++import easy, homologation ended up being less than Euro500 (Euro 170 for the letter and cost of a mirror)

yes

North America navigation package on PCM3 has been changed to European. I assume it could be changed to any region. The process involves ordering from Porsche a DVD (not given to customer) (price Euro380 + VAT) which erases previous map data and installs new one (dont know if it is on the same DVD). I asked but was not given either part number or disk itself. My PCM now also has new regional code for Europe. Rumor has it new firmware upgrade for PCM3's is coming out in April

tried that, no luck. do i drill through this bolt now? what a pain

i managed to unscrew 2 TORX bolts but third is turning but is not unscrewing (i assume nut is turning inside). I am stuck now any help is appreciated

strange thing is that after car has stayed in garage for few hours oil level (according to dip stick) is normal. also the two messages "refuel" and check oil level came up simultaneously. i dont believe in coincidences

I seam to remember reading somewhere Cayenne "check oil level" comes up every n-"please refuel" regardless of oil level. is that correct?

looking for always on (unswitched?) power in the rear of Caeyenne T (best in the spoiler but anything will do). I know that after 7 days of no activity car goes into "deep hybernation" to save power. does this mean it also cuts all power to say cigarete lighters and power sockets?

is dealer price the price i see in PET? or the dealer price less than that?

negative

here p.s. ****.pkg file is what seems to make this DVD bootable as without it PCM3 says medium not recognised

I have DVD (997.642.271.50) It says on the cover "Don NOT give to customer under any circumstances" (under penalty of death :) but my dealer doesn't speak English:) files are .db. i dont know how to take picture of tree structure and file names otherwise i would post it

FYI (potentially meaningless information) but Europe DVD PCM3 files are dated 20.03.2008 so there is clearly a later database can hardly imagine there is significant cost in creating PCM2.1 compatible file out of that database

FYI. 2009 Cayenne T Service Reminder can be reset by Durametric (software version 5.1.3 December 11th 2008)

awesome

you gave me picture on the ipod end , i was trying to see how these wires (from previous picture) connect to PCM connector. i cannot see well but my guess is that it is the area to the left of previous picture where other end of these wires connect to PCM

Loren, is there any way to receive the entire picture of a bigger diagram that i can see in lower righthand corner of that picture? Is this software available to to simple human or is a dealer only?
