Happy New Year,
This is the first time I've used this site so please forgive with me if I get a little overzealous.
I finally did it... A couple weeks back I picked up a used 2006 Cayenne S Titanium Black with tan and black interior. Wow!!! It was truly a deal I couldn't pass up and it's what I wanted when I got my last car but wasn't willing to pay the new pricing.
So I have a couple minor issues I'm trying to determine and also plan to do a few upgrades over the next couple of weeks. I learned a bit surfing the posts but the search feature isn't returning the results on some of the things I'm trying to determine.
Issues:
The driver's side rear tail light has quite a bit of condensation in it and the passengers a little bit. The dealer told me it would simply evaporate if I leaved the lights on. Well, that was a fib. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to dry these out with little pain? Also, I can't quite tell but it seemed when I got it washed this past weekend that there were fresh streams of water in the driver's side.
Second is I get a message when I turn on the head lights that says "check left cornering light". After reading the posts I learned my car has some sort of lights that evidently pivot while you are driving and they are different from the standard headlights. (it was missing the main owner's manual) I don't really understand what or where these are. I'm used to changing headlights bulbs in my older cars. Can anyone point me at how to tell which bulb it is, where to get the bulb and a general idea of how to replace.
Upgrades:
I think I landed on going with the NAV-TV Opi-P iPod connector and NAV-TV Tooki-P Bluetooth adaptor. (I believe my Cayenne already has their Sirius kit as I do have satellite radio but am not totally sure how to verify who's it is.) I've installed other OEM integration systems in previous cars so I'm going to give it a try myself tomorrow. Any one advise against trying it myself? Also, does anyone have the backup camera and or the video input from them that allows video to be played on the Nav screen? I'm not really sure I have any need for them but it sounds really cool and might be fun.
I ordered the roof rails, roof protection strips and cargo mat today. I think I remember having found a post where someone already installed the roof rails themselves so I don't think I'm scared to do this myself. (Interesting how when I looked up the parts pricing on the dealer's web site that the price the parts guy quoted me for each item was 50% higher than their web site. As soon as I mentioned it he lowered the prices on everything with no push back. A bit scary)
However, the major thing I'm contemplating is adding the Sport Design Package to add some extra sportiness to the body styling. The dealer told me the Titanium edition already has the side skirts so I only need the front and back which was quoted right at 2K. The catalog shows that you can order these in the color of your vehicle but he's not totally sure. I am also thinking of putting the body side moulding on when/if I do this. Anyone have these options? Any idea how much I should expect to pay for installation on these.
Whew!!! I think I better cut up my credit card before I go totally nuts.
Thanks, Steve
