Any more information for those of us that have no idea what a stepper motor is or what it does?

We all had this in some form back then. The main cause was that dealers did not know how to set them up. Many came from the plant with bad alignment, bad cardan shafts and poorly mounted tires.

After the dealers got the hang of things this mostly disappeared.

The main cause IMHO was the need for road force balancing on a Hunter machine. Mine has been solid since then but I make sure the dealer fits the tires.

Sorry all, but I still don't understand what the stepper motor is... Even more in the dark after the above post :D :D

Anyone want to help out in "idiot" language????

Don't know if it will work, but I do have the "Repair Kit CD-Single" Disk

Let me know if I can help :)

I'll try to replace original switch, will report later.

Alex.

Bump

Any news to report???

Hi All

Still looking for the ever elusive hens teeth - the nav update cd as included in the complete Map DVD update pack.

The part number is 000.044.901.40

Else I have the 05.2007 EUROPE DVD for sale - still manufacture sealed.

Fingers crossed someone has these files :rolleyes:

Hi All

Well got the bits for the retro fit of the cruise system. From an 04 workshop guide it looks like you have to take out the signal/indicator stalk and attach the cruse to this switch then reinstall the two switches together. But I have an 05 Cayenne and don't know if there is any difference

Is it possible to take out these switches, without removing the steering wheel????

Just asking as I don't fancy mucking about with this (aribags & sensors etc etc...)

Also does anyone have instructions for the retrofit?

Scratching my head so could do with some help...

Thanks

Lee

Hi All

Switch et al arrived today - thank you Gert - what an array of items I have, and I have no idea what needs doing. :unsure:

Please help.

Got the easy bits done - removed steering trim :D

Cant see how to put switch in without removing the steering wheel & Contact unit for airbag. Not a job I am even going to attempt - ever!!!!

So far as wiring up the switch, it looks like its alread done, part of the wiring loom.

If anyone has some instructions I would love the assistance. So far not an easy DIY job.

Come on RennTech please help... :renntech:

Thanks in anticipation

Lee

Understood Richard, i have a visit next Tuesday at a dealership and i will check for separate stalk availability.

Hi RFM

Ordered the retro kit from Gert - http://www.carnewal-europe.com/main.htm

Don't know if this helps. He is ordering direct from Germany with an approx lead time of 7days to the UK. So I am very impressed.

Just wondering if you could post or pm me with more details about the install?? Interested in where the wire routes, pictures would be really helpful especially of the "blue connector"

Thanks

Lee

Understood Richard, i have a visit next Tuesday at a dealership and i will check for separate stalk availability.

Hi Chriz

Can you also let me know the outcome, got to be easier than ordering from USA

Many thanks

Lee

Chriz

You can buy the stalk separately, it is not exchange. The single wire go's in the electric connector-fuse box in the engine room under the left wiper, i let you know tomorrow in which connector and possition.

Can you please let us all know where to get the NON exchange part from???

Just paused before I order from Porsche Parts at Cost - 4 weeks +++ from Germany to USA then USA to UK 2 Weeks ++++

Madness

BTW £85 plus shipping

Thanks

Lee

Ok sorry, probably being really dumb - but on the second right hand pic whats infront of the up holder next to the high low ratio selector???

Just interested

Many thanks

Lee

Kind regards

Lee

Local OPC useless - they see the same as you & me :(

They only want me to buy the 955.044.90.260 map update at £340

Hi Loren

Scratching my head to find the update CD for the PCM2.1 From Version 04202xxx Level B upwards

I have part number 000 043 205 47 002 as being discontinued. So I don't know if this is a USA number or for all markets - I am UK based.

Can find "000 043 205 47" but no ideal what this is

Already bought (but not yet delivered) the 05.2007 original (still sealed) Europe map DVD from fleabay.

Please help before I pull what little hair I have out lol

Thank you in anticipation

Hi All

As per header.

Looking to upgrade the maps on the pcm have a choice between 10.2006 & 05.2007

Anyone know of the differences/improvements as being a "tight northern b@start" thser is quite a price difference.

Still looking for PCM s/w update CD's for the PCM 2.1 Cayenne Rev A to B, B to C, C to C1 - CD usually provided by OPC when updating.

Also does anyone know if its possible to update Ver 2.1 to Ver 3.x or is it a hardware change?

Many thanks

Lee

Hi!

In my MY05 997, the software is still the original version 04035AD1.

To get to the "Update Model Level C" stage, I'm looking for the following:

1. 000.043.205.46.004 "Update CD of existing models A" to get to the updateA stage.

2. 000.043.205.46.002 "Update CD Model Level B" to get to the model level B stage

3. 000.043.205.46.003 "Multimedia Update CD2" - only for vehciles with Motorola phone

4. 000.044.901.40 "PCM Multimedia Update CD Naviagtion" to get to level C

5. Then a European Navigation DVD dated 08.2007 or higher.

I already have (2) and (3) - Does anybody have a copy of (1) (4) or (5) available?

Hi CK

you have a pm

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone has a PCM Level B upgrade disk? No longer available from OPC. Part number 000.043.205.47.002.

finger crossed in anticipation

Thanks

Lee

Thank you again Richard

Looking at the list ~ £50+vat can this be correct????

Where do you get this information from???

Sorry to keep asking questions, but only owned the CS for about 2 weeks and still feel like a child

So really new to this Porsche ownership - satisfaction of a promise to myself since I was about 6 to own a Porsche before my 40th :lol:

Is there any way to get the newer copy and a price list? Seen loads of stuff to spend my hard earned on

Than you again

Lee

The Tequipment Catalogue lists a retrofit for the Cayenne - Part Number 955.044.903.00 at £325 +VAT, but it is MUCH cheaper to buy the parts individually. I don't know if the Tequipment price includes fitting, but I doubt it. If you DIY you will need to find someone with a PIWIS tester to code the car afterwards.

It sounds like your OPC are trying to fob you off, as they probably don't know how to do it. Apparently, the instructions are in the on-line PIWIS system.

Thank you again Richard

Got to ask - how do you buy the part separately???? And what is the "Tequipment Catalogue"????

So far as OPC Leeds - took them over a week to get the CD Autochanger bracket, but at least they did supply all the nuts & bolts which made fitting a breeze :D

Kind regards

Lee

Hi All

Asked local (leeds) dealer

said it is NOT possible due to needing loads of sensors etc :(

Don't understand as there are loads of adverts for aftermarket options.

Did you have any luck?

Is there a TSB LOREN please help :P

I just phoned the seller, and he told me there is no limit to the number of cars. I'll let you know in a few days if it's true, or if I've been ripped off.

Any news yet?

Just wondering if it is just a OBD11 type thing or mosre similar to the Durametric cable & software

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Porsche-diagnostic-c...1QQcmdZViewItem

if link doesn't work then item number 190212717638

What do you think???

Cool - I will cost up the electrics today.

Only need a manual system, as I only tow the smallest of trailers to the local recycling center

Thank you for your help.

Do we know if there is a technical paper on this?

Thanks again

Lee
