You are correct. There is a coding setting for the LED bulbs in the PIWIS.

Where did you ship the car to?

Ed, bring the car over and do the flush here.

I had the same question you did about the Cayenne Sirius system I retrofitted. It appears your XM works the same way...in that the song info only appears on the Info/RadioText screen. I verified on the Cayenne boards that this is how it works (i.e. they never see the song info scroll...the cluster and the PCM always just display the station name when on the "normal"/Main screen) Yep mine is the same, Station Info only unless you go to the INFO page and lock at the Radio Text.

The LED settings are in the FRONT Control Unit only

There is also a PIWIS setting for LED Lights that needs to be set otherwise the lamp warning (Bulb Failure) will be on.

Into what country did you import it and was it easy ?

Did you import a US car into Europe then ?

It can be done on the unit you show.

If you can find someone with a PST2 or PIWIS you could try to re-program the DME back to stock. But with either solution you will need the car's IPAS security codes. He is a little to far from me :)

To better understand your problem it would be useful if you could find the part number written on the unit.

The PSM error should be cured by starting the car, turning the wheel 90 degrees to the left from centre, then repeat to the left, then drive approx 30-50 ft in a straight line and the error should go.

You are correct, the new lamp units will require the new bumpers to fit. The may also be differences in the wiring and mounting trays.

Hasn't the 09 model got the XM housing on the engine lid at the rear? If so that a big rewire for the XM antenna cable.

Did you know that Porsche have just released a new map for the PCM 1, can you believe it PCM 1!!! PCM1 Update

I assume you/they entered the order code into the DME prior to attempting to change the instrument cluster? Have you had the switch fitted?

Are you reading the replies to your post.? ...I already covered this earlier. The parts kit you purchased is from a cayenne , as I explained previously the cayenne has a horizontal mounted DVD unit that sits under the drivers seat. The part numbers are shared across vehicle platforms where there are no installation or hardware issues preventing it. Therefore the cayenne part is also suitable for HORIZONTAL mount installations in the Cayman, Boxster and 911. I assume you have read the cayman club installation and seen the pictures of where the horizontal mounted DVD (navigation ) unit fits in the car. This is the same location for the boxster and 911 vehicles fitted with horizontal mount Navigation and CD units. If you have checked on your own vehicle and established that there is insufficient space to install the navigation unit horizontally or fit the CD unit, then you will either need to improvise your own bracket and installation or buy the vertical mount DVD navigation unit. From memory I beleive there is space for a single horizontally mounted unit ( CD or NAV) under the main cover in the front trunk. If you are not concerned about having an OEM installation it is possible the Navigation unit could fit horizontally somewhre else and the Cd changer be substituted for a Dension or mobridge unit. The cables you refer to are the OPTICAL waveguide cables or MOST cables as some refer to them. These connect the Navigation, Amplifier and CD changer together in series , so they can all communicate back to the main PCM. Porsche make different versions of the cable depending on how many MOST devices are installed. It is possible to convert the cables if you have suitable spare plugs , the main concern is ensuring there are no open ends. The CD NAV and AMP also need to be connected in the correct order in the MOST loop , if a component is out of sequence errors can occur with operation. Thanks Berty I assumed he was going to buy a vertical dvd unit

I assume you/they entered the order code into the DME prior to attempting to change the instrument cluster?

The same is true for the NA (USA) DVD the contents of 05.2007 (Supplied with MY2008 cars) is the same as the 08.2007 (Sold by the parts department) for those wishing to upgrade from a version prior to 05.2007.

To correctly identify the DVD unit for an 08 C4S would require a VIN as there are two different versions of 997-642-139-xx but you are correct needing the vertical unit.

Like this: Optical Bridge

Re: Software speak to Scott at Softronic as I believe he has a package for the 997.2 even though his website hasn't been updated yet.

This is one of the best and is much better than a touch up pen from the dealer: Dr Colorchip

I have know this fault to occur if you use distilled water to fill the reservoir.

Now what is Gundo up to ????
