    running car for 15 minutes or having short trips is not going to keep your battery from going flat but then again being driven around st tropez by a girlfriend in a nice car would not hurt your battery either

    hello, i am looking at buying KTS 520 or 540 and putting it together with IBM T23 with PIWIS v26 software (which I already have). I keep seeing KTS boxes with UBOX 1 and UBOX 2 cables and some esi sowftware (i am buying a used one). Do i need any of these UBOX cables? should i care about subscription for KTS box from Bosch (which must be revnewed every year from what i understood). I have a 2009 Cayenne which is likely to be the only car I will connect this box to so if anybody can advise I would greatly appreciate your help.

    i had cracked plate at about 20k mi. the change in pressure of peddal was sudden but there was a lot of slipage though and pedal would not come back but that was due to a lot of dust which got on axel and would lock clutch release bearing

    any news on retrofit?

    I had coolant pipes replaced under warranty at 16k miles on 2009 Turbo. Not sure why they say the problem is only on 2004-2006 models. It looks like 2009 model also has plastic pipes

    not trying to sound rude but type "maps" into search box at top of page

    hm. not 100% sure about second wire but my guess is this: if you look at diagrams above there are 3 wires from control box iand two from camera (AV signal). 3 wires from control unit are: -12 +12 (i believe through fuse 53 on left but check in the manual) and control wire which goes to pin 6 on pcm lower connector if two wires you are referring to are from control unit connector i would guess the two are +12 and control camera cable connects through a different connector (yellow) from a rear door harness. i have to look up which pins camera signal goes onto but will only be able to do it a week from now. maybe somebody can post a pcm3 pinout before that

    i had park assist installed (car being 2009 turbo) but both rear door harness and roof harness are not there to accomodate the camera. solution - buy rear door harness from list above then add AV wire and control wire through the roof to dashboard and PCM (changing roof harness is 5hour job and a pain, btw so is pain changing rear door harness and threading it into roof connectors). control wire goes on back of PCM pin 6 on lower left connector (blue connector looking at teh back of PCM). but all the above is pointless as you need a code to enable PCM to view cam or get NAV-tv (PCM3BT or CAM) unit which scrambles PCM coding and enables rear cam input

    try disabling internal motion sensor. i think there is a switch on the bottom of B pillar next to driver's seat

    does anybody know the length of coils (cayenne 2009 turbo)? i dont have Porsche special tool which is 270mm (10.6in) but have another plug wrench 210mm long (8.2in). is that sufficient to get spark plugs out? thanks in advance

    the earliest on other forum is 16000 miles - V8 engines have aluminum block unlike other engines
  14. SA321
    There are quite a few people with this problem on V8T on other forum with some ugly pictures. Does your car have other problems like excessive oil consumption? If not how did u manage to convince Porsche to look at engine replacement?

    hello, can anobody with PIWIS look up how contacts are numbered on camera control unit? Picture attached - this is control unit side. thanks in advance. i tried to find this connector online but after few hours i am ready to give up after some tries i figured out the pinout if anyone need it in the future (image attached)

    That is just plain bad luck. you must have been Paris to Calais region cause South France near Nice is speed gun free. (except for one tunnel and two speed cams near St Tropez) there is simply no place for police to hide. 180km/h was my standard speed from nice airport to monaco for 4 years. (until I span on that highway in the rain:). Places to speed are Germany, Itali (allesandria-genova-Nice), never Switzerland, never Calais area. Hm on the other hand disregard everything above, drive safely and follow rules

    many thanks

    I think these are MOST (fiber optic cables). Hi Loren, many thanks but this is pcm2.1 diagram. do you have a pcm3 one? it is the most left part of this diagram that you kindly provided before
  19. SA321
    hi Loren, do you have by any chance a diagram of how these camera control unit wires connect to the back of pcm 3? i have looked at pics you posted before for ipod connection but that part of diagram where cam connector is cut off. tks
  20. SA321
    sorry to hear that. so how at the end have you delt with 955-647-218-20? is this a connector for control unit or camera video? where is the control unit located? from what i have figured out i need to get 955-612-814-10 - Wiring Harness which will connect two cables from the camera to a wiring loom in the roof and after that i am lost. does control unit sit next to pcm3? p.s. i already have nav-tv unit and added BT, voice control and multimedia through it. it has some glitches though
  21. SA321
    Hi, i am now trying to do the same. How did your project go?
  22. SA321
    conclusion of the trip to a delaer: coolant pipes changed due to crack (this is cars first winter where it only went to -15c), seatbelt buckle changed, turbocharger hose repalced, pdcc pump changed. one consolation all this is still under warranty

    The fader and balance controls work correctly in my car,plus I can turn the volume all the way down and hear nothing. Rear speakers not functioning correctly would explain the fader issues. I have to wonder if the amp was installed properly. it sounds like you have a dealer near by. go and try radio in another porsche. porsche sound is not great to start with (i have 996c4s) but faders/balance work.

    PCM was upgraded by dealer to v1.40 , i also separately bought DVD with 2009 maps (the one that states on the cover "do not give to customer"). me being silly thought that now i can just put 30 Euro DVD into upgraded PCM and have my maps upgraded, but...:( PCM gave a message that "database is not enabled or something like that " and spat out DVD. Does anybody know what the story is. Do I have to get some code every time to upgrade maps? BTW. upgrade firmaware to 1.40 didnt solve a problem of PCM switching off for no reason

    He is probably a chaufer not the owner. I bet he told the owner he bought a new set for $100. what an ***
