    RFM, Thanks for you advice. To further complicate things, I'll be putting the CTT away next week until next winter. I will have it on a trickle charger but am wondeing now whether I chould have the CTEC charge before or after storage. I'm leaning towards the latter. Any reason to do it now? Allan

    Problem seems to have been resolved. In order to get the seat back to disconnect the battery cables, I needed to supply power using jumper cables. Although the car would not start when I connected the cables, all the blinking and stuttering electrics did settle down. I left the cables on for about 10 minutes and when, as an experiment, I re-tried the starter it worked. took her out for a half -hour drive and when I turned her off she was still able to re-start on her own. I'm thinking my battery charger may have been at least part of the problem but it had always worked before??/

    looks like the bolts that have to be removed to tip the seat back are rather large torx heads. If so I'm going to have to make a trip to the hardware store as my torx heads are not big enough to fit. I'll let you know how things develop.

    That's what makes this so "wonky", everything is off. The wierdness starts as soon as I connect the charger. Ignition and lights are all turned off.

    Returned home after being away for 2 weeks and discovered that the cayenne's battery was completely discharged. No problelm just put the battery charger on and situation should be remedied. Not so... when I hooked up my charger (on the 11 amp setting) all the electronic systems in the car go wonky. The headlights randomly go on and off, sometime blinking from side to side, the nav screen attempts to come on in a distorted staticy way, and warning lights blink on and off. I disconnected the charger after a few minutes as things were not stabilizing. Anyone have any idea what would cause this or potential solutions?

    This seems to be a very common problem. I have a 2006 CTT which was having intermittent loss of the PCM with the error message "Nav, amp, CD..... not available". After I intalled the Mobridge BT module on the weekend the problem became constant with the error message remaining on the screen whenever I switch it on. I hooked up the Durametric and it gave me the following codes: 459 - PCM No signal and 532 - Power Supply Short to ground/pos. I have an appointment at the dealer tomorrow to try to further troubleshoot the problem. As has been pointed out the fibre optic cable is quite fragile.... could it be that the intermittent symptoms were caused by a kink in the wire that was made worse when I re-installed the head unit? .... or could I have shorted out the power supply when I connected the Mobridge module to the power supply on the back of the head unit. I followed the instructions on their website video and used their connectors but anything is possible. Funny how common this problem seems to be though. makes me doubt that it was anything that i did on the install. One last question, would adding the Mobridge unit void my aftermarked warranty if I need to replace one of the factory components (eg amp, headunit, fibreoptic cable...)?
