    How To Track A Porsche Cayenne S?

    in 9PA, 9PA1 (Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, Cayenne Turbo S)

    Posted

    To only use your OEM materials (PCM, et al) you'll need to tear-up a lot of your Cayenne to make it work and it will cost a fortune.

    The best and fastest way is to add a device to your Cayenne (or any vehicle).

    One example is people purchase and hide an iPhone in their vehicle and they track the iPhone via the Apple online tracking tool. It's easy to hide an iPhone and power it -- fuse to low-yield USB. Attached is an example of what the tracking looks like -- my iPhone is not hidden, it's just always in the vehicle, but I can place it under a rug. And if I wanted to hide it in the Cayenne I easily could, I pulled the bottom of the dash above the passenger foot well and there is space, power and reception. You'll be leveraging the cell signal which in the iPhone's case also ties to GPS. You can track the iPhone from any web browser. The attached screen shot is taken from my browser at work. It's pretty cool, you can see the iPhone (if it's in a vehicle) move around. An you can track up to ten iPhones at the same time. If you know how to handle .xml feeds you can build reporting and alerting based on rules you create for where the iPhone goes, time of day, etc.

    The iPhone solution is the cheapest and easiest method -- other proprietary devices exist but they are pricey. Search Google for fleet management and tracking devices.

    Or, for basic monitoring (audio) this is excellent: http://www.dealextre...ls.dx/sku.19634

    I use one with a pre-paid SIM and it is very, very cool. You basically call your pre-paid SIM number, the device silently answers and you listen to whatever is going on around the device. In fact I bought one for a one-use project knowing that I'd never be able to retrieve it. Just be sure to purchase your SIM cards with cash.

    The usual disclaimer exits for all these tips -- follow your local laws, etc.

    You say that there is a space below the glove box where there is power and space. I'm looking to do something similar with a zoombak device. I want to hardwire it to switched power. Is the power location you are referring to switched. Any pictures?

    Thanks!
