  1. I am thinking about upgrading the navigation unit in my 04 TT to the Pioneer Avic-Z1. I think the current OEM is pretty awful. I had a Pioneer unit in my Denali that I had prior to this one and I really miss the touch screen, vicinity search and POI where you can type in the Name vs scroll through every restuarant etc. Plus I can't get SAT radio with out using a exterior module. I did't know if I would loose the display in the cluster, I like the radio/cd ID and music titles scrolling across the screen. Has anyone performed a install and was able to keep that function? Thanks
  2. For the past week it has been starting in 1st gear (D not M), I tried stoping and turning it off and restarting it and it starts in 2nd. This happens only intermitently and I haven't pin pointed what may cause it. It has happened more in the first start up of the day than through out the day. Any ideas?
  3. The vents in the rear pillars go from being weak to non existent in my 04 Turbo. Is this a common issue or do I need to do somthing get more air flow back there.
  4. I just replaced the rear glass button my my TT hoping it would fix it. I can still release the upper glass part via holding the hatch button on the key for a few secods. But pressing the button under the rear wiper still does not work after replacing. Also when driving over rougher roads or over bumps/curbs it sounds as if glass is loose making sounds as if it is bouncing around. Any ideas? Thanks
  5. I found out the answer and since I received no response back I assume no one else knows, but there are at least 3 fuse boxes. One on each side of dash and one under the hood. The cigarette lighters and 12V are considered sockets. Fuses can be found on the left side in #1, 3 and 5.
  6. Does anyone know where and/or what # fuse for the cigarette lighter under the PCM. It shorted out when my daughter through a penny in there. Thanks
  7. I just received a my arm rest dvd/monitor system and I am looking a for a spot to tap into that is only powered when the car is on vs always on. I have a cigarrette lighter in the rear of the center arrmrest. Is that power always on? Also while looking for somethins that slid off the front passenger seat I noticed a lot of empty electrical socket under the seat. Can any of those be used? Thank you
  8. I have been searching the internet looking for a parts store to price out the electirc towbar system. Yes I know it did not sell in the US, I don't know why though. I wont be towing a car, camper or large boat. Mainly a utility trailer. Does anyone know where to get it?
  9. Thanks Loren I have the options on my MY04. It says that I have the " Preperation for detachable trailer coupling" is that the same as prep for towing? Can I tell by looking under the car or is just a wiring thing.
  10. Is is possible to use the steering button to advance through your programed stations or do the buttons just scan/man go through stations. I am just used to the steering wheel functions of my M5 and use it to scroll through the 6 saved stations. Right now I have used the head unit and press the #'s to get the station I want.
  11. I recently bought a 04 Cayenne Turbo with PCM2.0 navigation (3.0 update) and OEM Cd Changer. PO installed a NAV-TV Ipod intergration. It works really well, we did not know we had it until a day later. After plugging in my Ipod I found it was made by NAV-TV and found the instructions to operate. It also said that I will loose the function of the CD Changer, no big deal. What I would like to do is either install OEM XM or aftermarket but with intergration with the PCM unit like with the Ipod. Anyone know a company that has a prouduct for the MY04 or if the factory unit will work now with out the CD changer operational. I have searched but still nothing. Thanks
  12. So I took to Porsche Dealership here in Phoenix and it turns out that #2 plug had water inside and its coil was cracked . All other coils were good. So all 8 plugs changed and the one coil. So a $500 tune up because in the infinate wisdomw of the dealership in Colorado (non porsche) they had the engine pressure washed. I called them to complain about a repair caused by them, they called my dealership for a dealer to dealer price adjustment and he was going to get with thier boss and get back to me. My thing is if they asked for the dealer price they would have just covered it vs having to reimburse me for the actual price. It is BS that I had to spend $500 for thier mistake. I also had them update the DME to current software and do a complete check of car. The car runs great in all gears now, but it still has some vibration at idle.... not completely smooth although I gather from threads that this is inhierent to the model. I hope the dealer comes through and reimburses at least part of my cost.
  13. No fault codes or CEL, I have a standard OBD II scanner and I am getting no error codes. It is really rough, it will be normal than a big stutter/shake. When stepping on the gas the car does the same ,,, major vibration, stutter. I am taking it to the dealership in the morning. I called the previous dealer and received all the work completed on it, all coils and plugs replased under 10k /1 yr ago. I hope it is just that, a cracked coil.
  14. I have had my 04 CTT for 4 days and 1000 miles, 800 of which was driven back from dealership. Car checked out ok there and drove great down here. On my way to work this morning the car was really running rough at Idle, every so oftent it would really shake etc. During driving no issues, but then again during lunch I started it up and it was ok for a few then rough all over again. The coils were replaced by dealer in 4/08 and 10k ago. It has 51K on it now. Any ideas, sounds like a miss fire, but no CEL or engine codes pulled via my handheld OBDII generic scanner. I have an appt tomorrow at local dealership, I am hoping not to get raped. I am trying to prepare for worst. Thanks
  15. I miss my BMW M5 just slightly, what i miss is the retractable side window screens. Can these be added to existing door or does a whole new door panel need to be purchased. I also miss my Alcantara headliner, I would liket to get it installed. Anyone do this? if so about how much did or would you think it may be John
  16. Hello out there, I just bought a 04 Cayenne Turbo and I was thinking about a upgrading due to missing the west coast cd of the 3. Mine is already v3.0 and I going to try to locate the CD or a copy of one. Do copies of CD's work? It worked out great for my Pioneer system for my truck. I would buy the new copy off of eBay every time they came out with one, but they are only selling complete sets there. If no one has issue with working with copies I could go buy the 2008 update and make copies of the set and depending on how many are interested the cost could be either half to $30 + the shipping cost, I think making more than 10 sets of 8 would be way too time consuming. So if anyone is interested let me know, I plan on heading to the dealership this Thursday for it's 40K maintenance.
  17. I know this thread is a little old, but I have had my TT for about 36 hrs now and would love to hear all that HP being represented but I dont want to loose performance or HP for sound. So is the arugument still holding true cat bypass is for normally aspirated and not for Turbos. I have a 04 TT with 41k. Thanks
