  1. BTW, Cayenne TT 06

    Finally got brake lights working with factory hitch and prodigy P2 brake controller. Bought hitch kit from Porsche dealer

    had independent garage install it several months ago. Decided to add aftermarket brake controller to the mix.

    Purchased the mating 4 pin connector from the VW dealer, 1J0-972-782 as well as 000-979-228-E wire set.

    Installed the terminated wires into the connector, sniped the loops and spliced the wire ends onto the Prodigy harness.

    There are many posts about the location of the factory brake controller pigtail location under the dash

    and the wire colors for the various signals, just match function to function.

    Result;

    Trailer brakes worked great, running and turn lights work but no brake lights.

    Solution;

    had the Porsche supplied trailer light controller (that came with hitch) updated then re-flashed with USA hex.

    The light controller now operates both turn signal filaments when brakes are applied.

  2. Had the same problem (intermittent, then no video) on 06 CayenneTT, however one of the conductors inside the cable connecting the camera was broken at the flex loop

    just outside the camera. Ended up making a new cable with 28AWG Tefzel wire and terminating it to the molex connector inside the camera's PCB.

    The other end of the cable is an SMB FAKRA which can be bought at Digikey. The power wires have to be broken out and spliced to the actuator

    power as well. Works perfect

  3. Have 06 TT.

    Cayenne soaking in yesterday's heat (108f) all day long, starts and runs fine. Move into the garage last night no dramas.

    Attempt to start the car this afternoon, everything dead, no lights... absolutely nothing. By the way, when system is dead, you can't remove the ignition key.

    Jumped it at the jump posts located near the drivers side hood pivot, engine starts and runs fine, lights, dash normal. restarts like there was never a problem ever.

    My only conclusion is there must have been a relay malfunction. any thoughts?

    PS. Weather has been very hot in Los Angeles last few days.
