Porsche Cayenne Features - Pleasant Secrets and Surprises

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2024
- This purchase was definitely influenced by @HooviesGarage. No doubt about it. Before buying my first Porsche, an 04' Cayenne Turbo powered by a 4.5L Twin Turbo V8 I watched many TH-cam videos going over the lesser known features of the 955 Cayenne. This video is a combination of all those notes to share the quirks with my friends Andrew and Herman who I may not be able to show the car too in person for a long time.
Quirks and features include:
Ignition on the left side of the wheel as in all Porsches
Double sun visors for the driver and front passenger
Electronically adjustable seatbelt height and tension
Air suspension
Loading mode suspension height for cargo loading
All terrain lift via the air suspension
A cargo net built into the trunk shade piece
Air pump to inflate the tires or sports balls via the cars air compressor
A deflated spare tire in the trunk that should be inflated with the car's outlet system
Adjustable Sport Suspension
The Cayenne key fob looks like a Cayenne complete with headlights, similar to Porsche key looking like a 911
The boost gauge is in Metric Bar rather than PSI (1 Bar is about 14 PSI)

Hands down, Porsche Cayenne is one the greatest cars in the world. Expensive, but 100% worth it.
Just picked up an 06 about a month ago. Nothing like buying one during the pandemic and inflation. Covered most of the weird quirks I noticed. But some of the nice surprises I noticed in mine:
* The rear seats are heated and they lay completely flat when folded down. That cargo net also has holders when in that position - not just when the rear seats are up.
* If the sunroof fails, it can still be manually operated.
I got one of these for my wife. You will love it!. Pro tips. If any weird warning lights come on.. check the battery. Even if it starts fine a low battery will cause all sorts of little electric bugs and warning lights like the AWD lights.. and makes it shift weird and idle rough.
Oh super good to know, thank you! How long has your wife had it now and do you guys drive it in Ohio? Wishing for the day I can take a road trip in mine!
Yeah one time I let the battery get too low on mine by leaving some stuff plugged in and running it on accessory and fell asleep. When I went to start it, it said "4wd system fault" or something like that. Revved it up and let the alternator charge it again, and I haven't seen it since.
One thing that is a pain is that my water pump failed... Overheated and trashed my motor. I'm in the process of putting a new one in. Good thing I own an auto repair shop... Although it CAN be done by someone mechanically inclined in their driveway or yard but it'll be pretty tough. Not sure if there's a way to contact people on TH-cam, but I have an ALLDATA subscription for these cars so if anyone needs any information on replacing something, I'll send it to you.
@@chrisschoff2969 did you ever get the new motor swapped in?
@@chrisschoff2969 yes please! My drivers side door thinks it's open and dings ALL THE TIME. OMG, what do I do about that and can I do it myself? It was just doing it every once in a while but I live on a long dirt road and now it does it all the time. It is driving me BONKERS. Not to mention I can't do certain things like set my alarm and lock it. Don't want to go to the dealer if I don't have to. Thank you!

@@INSERTaccountHERE sure did. Had to replace the valve body in the transmission after that only because of the plastic coolant pipes that leaked into the transmission housing. Shift solenoid was bad but I figure I'd take care of that too. Engine swap required a lot more than my little Mercedes SLK. Not something I look forward to ever having to do again haha. Took it out through the bottom.
I've had my Cayanne(V6 model) for 3 years now and it has been one of the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned!! Just do scheduled maintenance and it will last forever!
Awesome to hear Rudy! Thanks for watching the video, good to hear on the reliability aspect.
I have a 2008 cayenne v6 and it has 184k miles going strong
My v6 went to 220k miles before I sold it. There were only minor issues during ownership. Solid vehicles, if you take care of them! Debating getting another, just to have around.
Make sure you clear the sunroof drains and the air con condensation tube - when they get blocked the water can destroy modules - I know from experience- ten minutes of your time can save you thousands of dollars- top video!!
How do you do this brother??
Zack Wrigglesworth Search here on TH-cam. It’s a must, do it 1-2x a year.
you prolly dont care but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Moises Kabir instablaster ;)
@Wesley Omar thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Love the 1st gen. It's those tail lights that do it for me. Yeah I'm weird.
Not weird Adam, they're great looking tails!
Yesssss, best tail lights ever on a cayenne
I have 2 California 1st gen turbos for sale
Not weird, I love them also. Love the first gen Cayennes
@@David-tz2cp
Did you sell them?
You have the same parking lights on the ceiling of the trunk for the rear. You can see them in the rear view mirror.
Nice video man. You also get the little parking sensor lights for reversing, just check in your rear view mirror and you’ll see them in the headlining above the middle rear passenger seat
Wow! Can't wait til I get to drive mine😊
Thanks for sharing this info.👍
You're welcome Dina, thanks for watching! I hope you'll subscribe if you liked the video! :)
This is the first video that came up and that I watched to push me to buy a Porsche Cayenne. Maybe turbo, maybe not. Please post more! I am now subscribed!! Thank you brotha.
Oh awesome, thank you! I'll be making more videos with it in a few weeks
Thanks for the detailed video, you did a great job.
Thank you Scott! I appreciate that comment, it was fun to make!
The seatbelts are designed to adjust for different driver/passenger shoulder heights.
About the seatbelt, it's just like you said, for the confort of different chair and person settings, also for safety so that the seat belt sits perfectly. I have the same in my e38 750i too, but i didn't even know the Porsche has it too, haven't yet checked all the buttons :D
Great video! And yeah, you can adjust the thing of the seatbelts depending on the height of a person so that, in case of an emergency braking, it won't hurt your shoulder
Thanks Sia!
That not really true, because you can only find out after an emergency brwaking.
Almost every har has it. It is made for people with different upper body lengths, so the belt doesn't cut into your neck.
Excellent video! These are some of the greatest vehicles for the dollar since they depreciated so much.
Thank you! How did you find this video? It just seemed to spike in views this past few hours! Thanks for watching :)
@@shouldigetit Android discover feed recommended it. (when I swipe right from Android home screen it recommends articles and videos that I might like based on my search history)
Thanks for sharing this video, I didn't know about the hose under the rear seat
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
Great video. I have a 2008 cayenne turbo. You should be able to make the windows go up by putting the key in the driver door and turning / hold it. If you have the alarm. There is a button by the drive seat on the B pillar to turn off the interior sensor. Air suspension will automatically lower as you go faster. I think above 75 mph. Enjoy.
Thanks for the tip!
Great buy & thanks for this video. I just bought one myself about 2 weeks ago, but mine is the "S" model. Non turbo V8. I love it, great buy & congrats to you. Be happy during this PLANDEMIC!!
Congrats to you as well and thanks a ton for watching! Enjoy it! Yours probably sounds even better :)
I just bought a 2006 with 104k, for $8800. Very good 1 owner car. I fixed the brake booster error with some electrical tape. Light is still on but eventually will buy the new brake booster line. Did one mod so far, you can buy lowering links on ebay, the old ones and new one just snap on and off and will trick air ride to go lower, awesome mod for $150. Thank you to all of you for all the tip and tricks and great video!!
Congrats Jeremy! Thanks for watching the video! How much lower did it get with the new links?
Should I Get It Reviews the links were pre-set to make your lowered drive setting to be the same as the normal load setting. You can adjust the links to make them longer which makes the car lower more.
Look under the dash on the glove box side. Two more 12v outlets!
They're way under there like where the carpet meets the dash. Pretty sure all cayennes have it. Perfect if you want LED lights but don't feel like hardwiring them.
My 02 Sequoia has 6,12 volt outlets lol.
And I was asking myself why a car this expensive only had one. Thanks for the heads up!
Should’ve talked about how you can use the steering wheel buttons from the backside too. It’s actually easier than using them from the front. Also, the parking sensor monitor green yellow red is also in the back when you’re looking in your rear view mirror.
Those handles in the middle are still nice if you’re taking a corner at a higher speed.
Yes they are definitely meant to be used from the back I agree. Yes also has a rear parking sensor with the same colors you are correct. Good for the passenger :)
They think of everything
I watched a bunch of other reviews before yours, but still learned about a number of features from yours - good job on the review!
Thanks so much!

Congratulations. I got my 2003 Cayenne Turbo in September 2020. It is my 6th Porsche. I live on the edge of the desert in New Mexico. It is excellent on and off road, but there are no available true off road tires that fit the factory 20" wheels. Option, lower tire pressures off road and use the compressor to bring them back up when you're done. Note that Porsche is a two syllable name.
Jon, I have a 2003 Cayenne S and I bought some 18 inch Porsche rims off craigslist, painted them black...bought Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus tires - 265/65 R18 and those exact tires fit the car perfectly - no rub - and are true off road tires but are quiet and the car actually handles better. I was and am amazed. I love those tire so much I put them on my 15 passenger Ford Van that I take to Baja.
I have a 2005 Cayenne S with only 28k miles. I bought it from the family of the owner who bought a handful of vehicles after a terminal diagnosis. It has been amazing for the two years and 15k I have put on it. I have replaced the tires, battery and other time sensitive items, and change the oil myself every 3k. I upgraded the radio w/ a new style infotainment system, and installed many carbon Fiber pieces. I will keep this truck until it falls apart, which likely won’t happen in my lifetime. I divide my driving between the Cayenne, an 86 Mercedes 300E, and two 997 series 911’s.
One is a Coupe, one is a Cab. They are all the vehicles I will ever need. These German built cars are generally easy to work on, and are all built to last. They are vehicle investments vs expense. The low mile used Cayennes are one of the best vehicle deals of our lifetime.
Wow that is super low miles! Which radio did you get? If one of the 997s is manual and you want to sell it someday let me know
If you have the double din radio still. Can you sell it?
there is a Porsche logo its near the third brake lights and the light or sun shines it on the back of the seat
Noticed that after making this video, yeah it's pretty cool!
Great review, thinking of getting one also during the pandemic but I won't be able to drive it much. Hoping to grab a bargain. There's cool black insert headlights you can do like Hoovie did. Make sure the coolant pipes have been changed, might be worth soldering the splint wires under the carpet whilst you're in lockdown and do the drain pipe mod.
Thank you! I wouldn't even call this a review :) What area are you in? I wanna learn more about the headlight inserts you speak of, Hoovie's looked great but I don't want to put too much money in this car. Thankfully the coolant pipes are metal so it's ready to be driven far and hard!
You appear to have a highly desirable off- road option. It appears you have factory rock sliders which if were not put on after then you have 3 locking differentials. Move your off-road switch forward and see if all 3 lights light up or if just 2 do. If you have that option this is a pretty rare beast that is highly sought after in the off-road community of these. It is an extremely capable off-road suv.
Thank you for watching Jon and for letting me know! Maybe that’s why it sold so quick when I listed it! I really do miss my Cayenne, if I had more parking spaces I would’ve kept it 😢
nice video, and great car
Thank you Simon!
Thanks for the info
You're welcome!
There are LighTs for The rear aLso.'09 When its beeping, you can see The LiTes Thru The rear view mirror
I kind of like that yours is blacked out on the lower portion and with running boards, nice! Mine is silver all the way down and no running boards.
BTW, just subbed!
Got the se model with the vr6 engine, you’ve got a 5ft sunvisor above your middle rear view mirror
I believe on turbo models with air suspension if you go over a certain speed it automatically will lower the car.. And the headlights will come on if set on auto. I heard this but haven't been able to actually try it as mine is just an non turbo S model.
Also if you hold the MAIN button on the nav screen/radio and press TRIP, you can get information on firmware for the nav, CD player, etc.
Not sure if you have opened the side compartments in the rear hatch area on the left and right, but mine has a Porsche brand battery jump box and portable air compressor too.
The navigation dvd is stored under the front passenger seat. If you don't have navigation, it makes for a great storage area. I believe some cars had the fire extinguisher stored there.
And the steering wheel buttons can be used from the back of the wheel too. Hard to explain but I guess I'm trying to say to press them from the back of the button with your fingers instead of from the front with your thumb.
Not really a Cayenne quirk, but if you get one of those cheap little 12v USB car chargers from autozone for like $6-7 (the tiny ones with one USB port) they fit in the front console outlet just enough to where you can close the ashtray door and it stays plugged in. I just let the wire come through the side of the ashtray door. Nice to charge stuff without having it open. (I smoke, so sometimes leaving it open with the windows down causes ashes to blow all over the place so this is highly convenient.)
Not sure if you know how to use the front and rear fog lights, but pull on the knob that you use to turn the headlights on when it's in the running light or headlight position.
The sunroof controls are awesome since you can turn the knob somewhere in between open and closed and the sunroof will open however much depending on how much you have it turned. (those little dots on the dial)
Also our cars take off in 2nd gear by default. Turning PSM off or manual shifting will let you take off in first gear. The transmission will automatically upshift for you in case you forget to when PSM is on.. When it's off it'll just keep revving until you do it yourself.
Thank you for all the details! Yeah it does lower over 10mph from the all terrain height.
Hi just a tip that I learnt from another video after buying my own 2007 cayenne this week- look right under the dash on the passenger side (like shove your head right under the glove box)- there’s another two 12v cigarette lighter charger holes- I plugged in a Bluetooth/radio converter so I can listen to podcasts through the car speakers and phone charger in mine so no need to use the ash tray for power!
@@jessieevans9721 hey Jessie! About the Bluetooth adapter, is it one of the ones that plays through an FM station? I tried that on my 2005 Cayenne Turbo that I purchased last year but there was always noise and static with it cuz of the fiber optic system I think... I bought like a $150 converter that you wire in in place of the multi-cd changer to add Bluetooth but I never finished installation cuz it got kind of complicated 🙄.

Hey Chris love all the details, some of which I didn't even know. Bought my 2005 Cayenne Turbo last year... And yes, you can't go highway speeds at full height, I had just tried yesterday and I think somewhere around 40 miles an hour it automatically went back to normal height... But it sure makes it nice when you're working on the car LOL. Just bought a 2015 Cayenne S last November for my wife and I wish it had the adjustable height.

Do you know how to stop the radio from coming on every time you restart the car? I never listen to radio so that drives me insane, the same in my wife's 2015 Cayenne S.
The two switches on the back of the steering wheel also turn on and off the heater in the steering wheel. You also need the handles in the front for when you put the pig in sport mode and corner fast. I've owned my CTT for 3 years now and love it. If have any questions let me know. There are a few common problems with the Cayenne.
Thanks for the tip Jason! Haha what tires are you running? I got fault 288 so I'm dealing with that now.
Great car. Just picked up the same exact one.
Nice! With air ride?
@@shouldigetit yes. All turbos have air ride, I believe. The turbo models are more reliable than the non turbo and V-6. They’re much more reliable than people give them credit for.
Holding on is for regular traffic too tho, I totally use them in sharp turns, Miami roads, good for big traffic
here at 18k subs before your channel blows up
Thank you so much, means a lot! How'd you find this video?
@@shouldigetit i came from fitment industries "so you want an 86/brz/frs" video. (been following them since 60k subs). you were in my recommended after that. i watch a lat of car videos and im happy to see a lot of my favourite youtubers blowing up recently. i followed vinwiki at 121k sub, RCR at 400k subs, carsandcameras at 60k subs, and grind hard plumb co at 75k subs. your videos have a nice blend of daddy doug, and fitment industries in a way, and its very appealing. i hope you do keep growing.
My like is number 955
It’s a sign! 🙏🏻
You also have rear indicators in the rear that you can see in the rear view on the roof panel by the lift gate.
I also Purchased my first Porsche Cayenne in May of 2020 and it's not a turbo version, but i thank God for it.
Congratulations, enjoy it!
*_N O I C E_*
Please do more videos on the Cayenne! I would love it!
Maybe a good Headunit replacement video?
Any particular headhunt you'd recommend or like to see? I was planning on doing a video finding the best FM transmitter since there's no AUX port.
@@shouldigetit I can help you with head unit replacement if you like. Highly recommend doing it. I posted a video on putting an android unit in these.
Porsche sells an aux option for these cars but it's ridiculously expensive ($600+) so FM transmitter is the way to go. (the Porsche aux can be found on the Porsche website on the tequipment accessories finder)
PS not sure if you replaced the head unit, but if the factory one works fine and you're selling it let me know!
@@UltF1 hey! Just subbed to your channel interested in swapping head unit in my 05 Cayenne Turbo.... Purchased $150 Bluetooth adapter/converter that wires in place of the multi CD changer but I got kind of lost with the instructions and gave up, seems like I was missing one cable.

Thanks for a really good vid, I currently have a 4.4 v8 range rover but am now looking in to a Cayenne. Heart says turbo s, head says diesel with as many extras as I can find. I think it's going to be the turbo as if I go for the diesel I will always wonder what the turbo would be like.
Good choice!
@@shouldigetit So I got a 4.5 twin turbo, very nice but the PCM has exactly the same fault as yours by the looks of it. The seller swears blind it was working perfectly yet seemed totally unsurprised when I told him of the fault. Looks like I will be looking for a new amp.
The seatbelt mechanism going up and down is for people who are taller like myself I had to move mine up if you didn’t you with a strap around my arm on the left side rather than above my shoulder
The seat belt up and down option is really handy if your a tall person because standard seat belts are made for the average person in simple words all the way up if your tall all the way down if your small.
Thank you! That makes a lot of sense.
@@shouldigetit please see my comment on buying the aluminum offload running boards I have the aero plastic covers I ould send you and I would buy the skid plate aluminum boards.
My 957 has sport mode and it's awesome
I just bought mine about 2 weeks ago. Pah rah pah pah pah, loving it.
Would be interesting to see someone document how to make it lighter... It's a fast heifer though.
Congrats! Rip all the seats out except for yours ;)
Hahaha no way to make it lighter, no way that would be convenient or cost-effective LOL. Porsche already spent millions doing that when they designed it!
Congrats looks like im about to it a low miles turbo
Thanks! Congrats to you as well then!
My cayanne has sensor lights at rear roof area awesome car. Best av had to date. And trust me av had every car manufacturer in top end cars
Straight pipe it, they sounds awesome! And it's super easy to do.
Got a video clip? ;) or sound clip I can listen to somewhere?

I'm looking to get a 2005 twin turbo right now I have a 2005 vw touareg v8 with air ride its the same color as yours with cayenne rims but it's been a great suv
Nice! I hope you’re able to find one. I’m sad I sold this car
Good luck with that. I have spent way more money on maintenance on my Cayenne than I planned. Way more. Way more. Way more.
Ugh, mine has been expensive too!
Secondary fuel pump, the horns requiring bumper removal, headlight wires lost their insulation... 72,000 miles and fully depreciated so I'll just keep it forever, but it's no Toyota Land Cruiser.
Nice video, you're gonna learn quickly that huge thick owner's manual (the one for my 2014 Cayenne GTS is almost 400 pages) will be required reading. A word to the wise from a guy who has owned 6 Porsches over 52 years, Porsche is a TWO SYLLABLE word. It's the family name of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and they say "Por-Sha". Nobody says "Core-veet" or "Fair-are-eye". It's like fingernails on a chalkboard to my ears. Thanks and enjoy your new found bargain.
Well if your going to own a Porsche, the actual pronunciation is two Syllable's. There is a video out there of Ferry Porsche (Ferdinand Porsche's son) pronouncing it that way. I have an old air-cooled and a Boxster and I say it wrong all the time as well, but try to be correct when I'm not in a hurry LOL
Completely understand and appreciate you watching! Please take a look at my entire Porsche playlist with 997 and 991 GT3s where I make sure to say it properly :) What year is your air cooled? 70s?
@@shouldigetit 1987 1/2 Targa Carrara. So the very last version of the true air cooled cars. It's in storage but getting really motivated to get started on it. Picked up a 2002 Boxster S about 3 years ago and kinda getting carried away with it. Want to build as close as I can to a Raby Flat 6 screamer.
Very cool! How are you liking the Boxster S? I drove a base model Boxster 2005 a few months ago and I did not enjoy the power or steering. I feel you will really appreciate this video th-cam.com/video/1znWKGCAu_A/w-d-xo.html
@@shouldigetit Soooo, funny story of the "S". I am an HVAC Tech and was getting my work van repaired. Got to talking and mentioned the P word and he asked me if I wanted to buy a Porsche. Asked what it was and to be honest, when the Boxsters came out, I wasn't too impressed. Told him so and he replied "I just want to get my $1,500 back out of it" Needless to say that changed my mind some so went to look at it. A guy brought it in for a clutch replacement, and never paid his bill. So originally I was going to take it home and strip it and sell it for funds to put the aircooled back together. Bought the title for $500 and paid the repair bill and drove it hoome for under 3K. Started learning about the "S" version and as I drove it home, my mind quickly changed on what I was going to do with it. A week after I bought it I found some black rims to match the rest of the car and it changed the ENTIRE persona of the car. I put about 5 grand in suspension last summer and now its as tight as a drum. SO if we compare the two cars, 9111 vs 986. Both have a 3.2, both weigh in about 2,700 lbs, 911 has a 5 speed, Boxster has a 6 speed. 911 is rear engine and so has the weird rear weight bias tendencies if your not careful, 986 is of course mid engined and LOVES clover leafs LOL The 911 is valuable enough to only restore it and make it 100% original, the Boxster is getting made into what I want out of a street car. Jack Raby is making 400 HP out of the original M96 engines and that's my long term goal. Now I just gotta find that perfect 928 S4 ;)
@@FlyingAl2006 Oh that is awesome! I should go drive an S!
I think there is an backing up parking indicator in the sealing. Can be seen from rearview mirror.
Yes there is
@@shouldigetit What type of roof rack is on your car?
There is also a sun visor to cover the gap over the rear view mirror
Yes found that one!
Have you got the two additional 12v power sockets under the glovebox right by the transmission?
The seat belts moving up or down allows short people not to get strangled with the seat belt across their necks.
Move the seatbelt up and down for a shorter or taller driver.
I have the same one, same color, 2005 Cayenne Turbo w 155k miles just bought one year ago. Had to replace the alcaterra headliner as soon as I got it, didn't notice it was starting to sag in the back... $450 at local upholstery shop.

What shop? I need some work, done. I'm in DC.
Get some glossy black vinyl and blackout those window pillars. Makes a world of difference.. I mean , it needs all the help it can get. That's why I lowered mine and put 22's on it.
Had that on my Miata, could imagine it looking sick on the Cayenne!

Please how i can reset miles trips in my car porshe cayanne s 2006 ?

Hello congratulations, I have the same antler now it only gave me sactifactions, it started a while ago to take time to start with the engine warm, I would like to know if you did not have that problem, greetings from Argentina
Same antler? I'm sorry I don't understand what your problem is. Escríbeme en español
@@shouldigetit Hola ,te decia que mi cayenne tarda en arrancar cuando el motor esta caliente,frio arranca perfecto,si tienes algun problema consultame tengo taller propio y pude resolver muchos problemas sin gastar dinero.saludos.
Yes, I wanted to know about the exclamation mark appeared in the speedometer. I brought a Porsche Cayenne S this past Friday. I also is trying to figure out when I close the door why do my lights stay on and I have to manually push the button up by the sunroof?
Hi Toria! The exclamation mark sounds like a TPMS sensor (Tire pressure measurement system) which means you either have a flat tire or your tires are fine but there is an issue with the sensor, or the sensors may have been removed by a previous tire shop. Your light switch is probably set to on instead of "door." Let me know if that helps!
@@shouldigetit I brought the vehicle from a dealership and new tires were put on the vehicle. So, it did not start until the next morning when I got ready to move it. This is when the exclamation mark appeared in my speedometer. I do not have any flat tires. It just appeared in my speedometer. How do I get it to go off and one more question, How do I set the interior lights for them to go off when I close my door on the vehicle? Your information is very helpful, thank you. I also think on my cruise or windshield wiper blades that I can check my menu inside the dash board where the Porsche logo show up at. It is a button on the side that I can touch and when the SUV is running I can use it to stroll in the dashboard.
@@toriachatman6309 Exclamation sign might have to do something with the max speed you set up yourself (in the radio area.) I was trying different functions there and one of them was a choice of speed limitations. You get three to set your three speed limit choices. Try it.
On mine, the "!" On the speedo is telling me the fuel door isn't fully latched
Where did you buy your fender flare
It came with my car (bought it used)
Nice ride - what did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks! Under 10 grand USD
OK, I own a 2008 Cayenne Turbo S. I love it. To answer, the seat belts move up and down in order to adjust belt comfort for various sizes people
For example, for smaller chested skinny folk, you are probably fine with the set belt being raised up all the way. By doing so, it increases the tension on the belt across your chest.
For larger people, you lower the seat belt which brings the harness down closer to your left shoulder. By doing this, the belt has less tension and puts less pressure against your left shoulder.
It actually does work well.
However, I agree it's mostly a gimmick, bc a seat belt is loose and moves until a crash.
Many other cars have this se exact feature. My wife's Lexus IS350F has a this to adjust manually. And when I ride in passenger seat I always adjust it on longer trips and it makes huge difference on my right shoulder bc the seat itself is smaller and more narrow. Therefore the seat belt ses always firmly pressed against my right shoulder. If I lower the belt holder on my upper right, the tension eases .
FYI the rear beeping you hear has a series of squares that light up like the front ones. Just look in your rear view mirror and they are on the ceiling in the back of the SUV. You probably can't see them because your headliner is hanging down back there.
I found those lights on mine. Any idea how to make the beeping come on. On mine it seems to just light up and no noise ? Thanks if anyone knows how to make it beep beep beep. 👍
I got a 2005 Cayenne I bought used for $8k with 120k miles on it way back in 2014.
I still only have 143k on it now, but I haven't had any real major problems, other than $6k worth of front end work when "Evil Kinevil" pulled his motorcycle out in front of me.
Other than that, I just had to get the AC fixed, replace the window motor in the passenger door, and get the rear window and door lift shocks replaced.
I live in Phoenix 115 DEGREE HEAT, so I did have get it particially repainted twice.
But I got an itch a few months ago and decided to drive it down to Puerto Vallarta Mexico for a few months long vacation.
I ended up driving over 4000 total miles, down there and back and all over central Mexico from Puerto Vallarta to as far East to Monterrey and back up to Phoenix.
I never had even one bit of problems, and I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT!
I even decided to replace my tires down there, not because I needed them, only because the Goodyear's brand that cost me $600 each here in Phoenix, I got 4 for $1200 there in Puerto Vallarta.🤓
But, I wouldn't at all suggest driving at night in Mexico. Not it's because of the "criminal" element they talk so much about in the clickbait hungry media, with their stories that are totally overblown and by the State Department.
Those sensationalized STORIES are done every year around Spring Break, lime clockwork, mostly to keep Americans BLINDLY spending there vacation money here in the US...UGGH!!!!
In Mexico, the roads where truckers run down there are even in much better condition than many States here in the US, plus I never seen even one COP with a radar gun on the entire trip!
The reason is there is seemingly NO SPEED LIMIT enforcement even when the top posted speed limit is 85 to 90 miles per hour...
Also, their truckers can pull 48 foot DOUBLE trailers even at NIGHT...
Which nearly COST ME a fatality statistic, when one of them was doing a U-turn on a divided freeway just outside of the view of my headlights😳😵
After I came to an abrupt STOP, I said a prayer for German BRAKE engineering, because I tried to locked them up, but the anti-lock braking system never allowed my BRAND NEW Goodyear tires to skid, and they stopped the car from 65 mph down to ZERO, less than 4 feet from me going UNDER THE REAR TRAILER!!!
And its weird, because less that 4 months before that, which is probably why I decided to do what I had been DAYDREAMING about in that Mexico drive.
Near Phoenix of all places all over the Country I've SLEPT, I had my only OTHER NEAR FATALITY in my 62 years of life, with 22 of those years driving over 2 million miles in 18 wheelers, when a drunk driver hit my own 18 wheeler one night right on my right side, 100 gallon FULL FUEL TANK, which was right below where I was fast asleep in the bunk😮😱
The "accident" left a TOTALED Honda Accord, a nearly totaled Freightliner truck, but not a scratch on me or the drunk driver, and lot of leaking DIESEL FUEL all over the place...
Luckily for both of us, there was NOT EVEN ONE SPARK!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I guess you all can tell I'm BORED right now... LOL
Actually, I can on here looking to see how I can jump start another car with my Cayenne, and whike sitting here waiting for the battery to charge up, I ended up going DOWN THIS CAYENNE VIDEOS RABBIT HOLE🤣😅😂
Did you keep the GTi?
Yes GTI is still here to stay! Cayenne might not stay as long depending on gas prices ⛽️
Executive equipment Touareg 2004-2007 had the power adjusting seat belt height with memory also. Luxury overboard I suppose but VW dropped in in 2008 (except maybe the V10) while Porsche kept it (I actually have the option in my 2009 V6).
How do you know that in such detail? Thanks for sharing Britton!
@@shouldigetit I'm a fan of the platform, I worked for Volkswagen and Audi for 15 years. Always buy normal cars with rare options (e.g. 2008 Passat wagon with adaptive cruise control). So I've generally educated myself on equipment groups. Cars are my specialty.
@@brittoningraham6056 Very cool, thank you for bringing that expertise over :) Did you ever see a Phaeton?
@@shouldigetit I've seen a few Phaetons in my time.
You have the same warning light when heading in reverse (check above the rear window trough your mirror)
Thanks Daniel!
@@shouldigetit also the reason for the rear tyre not to be inflated it’s because it simply cannot fit in the porsche wheels are massive
Ps: does your car have cruise control?
Hit the PSM Off button for a more aggressive map, similar to the sport mode. And it’s pronounced “porsh-uh” A camera was available, but your car doesn’t have that option. All Cayennes have dual exhausts, except the 3.2. Turbos have quad tips.
Turning the psm off is sport mode.
You are missing 1/2 of the car if you don’t bring it off-road. We bring ours on minor trails, you don’t need to bring it on hard core trails but use it as the engineers designed it to bring the car anywhere (beach, mountains, snow, etc).. not a mall car. I used to have 2 sets: 20” high performance summer tires and 18” A/T tires. Now just running 1 set of 20” A/T tires. Hope you have also joined the Cayenne support group in FB, it’s got a lot of good resources
If you drive backwards then above the rear window is the reverse row lights yellow, orange, red.
you have to look in your rear view mirror my 2005 Cayenne has that option (No Turbo)
The seat belt goes up or down to accommodate taller/shorter drivers.
More mods and inexpensive diy upgrades would be great. You bought a fabulous classic but be aware of coming issues especially on turbo ones e.g. coolant pipe failure
Thanks for the tips! That is the plan, hopefully get a Fabspeed exhaust on it soon. Would you like to see/hear that video? :)
Should I Get It Reviews Yes of course please!
Not sure how mechanically inclined you are, but the metal coolant pipes cost between $175-$250 and takes a few hours to fix. Dealer will charge about $3000. If you don't fix them immediately, it could flood out your starter. This is only an issue on the v8 models. If you have documentation of the past history of the car, they may have been replaced already.
@@shouldigetit if you want a nicer sound for real cheap, you can go to an auto parts store and buy some exhaust piping repair kits.. I believe 1 7/8" but dont quote me on that. (just Google internal muffler bypass or something of the sort for our 955 cayennes. Just take the exhaust tip off, slide the pipes in and put them back on. It bypasses all of the noise canceling stuff in the muffler. It's quiet enough not to be obnoxious while idling and louder when you stomp the accelerator. (only other thing is you might need a dremel or saw blade to file down the small tab inside the driver's side muffler... It makes no difference with the tab being there... Just makes it possible to get the pipe in.
Plus it's reversible in minutes if you don't like it and will only cost you like $20.
If you want to get fancier with the exhaust mods... Look up the fister and gundo hacks for the exhaust.
The damping is not directly related to the air suspension, Porsche’s shocks are electromagnetic to dynamically adjust the tension.
Oh good to know, thank you!
Did you see the 5th sun visor above the rear view mirror? 😎
Also when you are in reverse, look in the mirror at the roof a little or turn to head, there are light up sensors like the ones in the front on the roof in the back
Whaaaaaaat!? I'm gonna look for it next time I drive
Lovely SUV. What year and mileage please? Also how much did you pay? Thanks.
Thanks! It's a 2004 with 137k miles. I paid a little under $6,000 USD
@@shouldigetit That is a bargain!
Dude I paid slightly less on the east coast here for a non turbo v8 with 169k miles.
I just paid 7,000 for a 2006 V8 Cayenne S with 114,000 miles
@@joyphillips200 Are you not worried about bore score and cylimder failure on that model? I crossed it off my list due to those reasons.
Don't forget about the secret hidden motion detector in the control panel that activates when you lock the car!
What does that do!? For the alarm system?
@@shouldigetit If you stay in the car while it's locked you can see a flashing red light in the control panel, most likely for the alarm system :)
Nice one, i got the 2005 Cayenne S V8 engine, but i don't know if it consumes more gas than V6.
Depends how fast you drive it!
Late but SEATBELTS. The point is, you don't have to twist and turn around to adjust. You can sit normally and adjust it, therefore achieving max comfort and safety.
Porsche does everything for a reason, especially around this time. The engineers were truly phenomenal and loyal.
Where did you get those fender flares?
Hi Miguel, they came with the car which I bought used, sorry that I couldn't be of more help! Hope you enjoyed the video and that you're able to find them :)

@@shouldigetit Could you post some closed up pictures? Please
@@miguelortiz4916 I cannot because I sold the car
Ok city boy! J/K I grew up in San Francisco but now I live in the mountains and my 05 is a bad ass 4x4! I'm talking I'm right up there with the Toyota land cruiser and jeep Rubicon 4x4 trails. I can go anywhere in Tahoe in my cayenne. Put the lickers on and bam! You can get up some of the hairiest trails with ease. If this city girl can do it, so can you! These cars were made to rally, you ought to try it sometime! So fun!
Nice! I'm from San Jose originally!

@@shouldigetit *Lockers, not lickers! OMG. LOL! Wow, anyways, if you have the chance at least take er out in the snow, they really are amazing! Good review :)
You forgot rear parking. If you look into the rear view mirror there's the same device on the rear roof as in front dash for parking sensors
I didn't forget ;) I just couldn't show it because my headliner was saggy haha
I've had my Porche Cayenne for 3yra an learned about the hatch and the hose lol😅
:)
You forgot that u actually have lights for the back parking sensors,too! Thei are on the ceiling in the back and u can see them while turning around or looking in the back mirror!
I know about them! My ceiling was sagging so it was covered by the fabric
@@shouldigetit that’s so funny xD Yesterday evening , right after reading your response, the ceiling of my cayenne came down, too . What a coincidence x) could u tell me what u did to repair it ?
@@justinnienaber4897 Oh man sorry to hear! I actually left mine as is since it didn't bother me much but most upholstery shops can repair it within a day!
I have an '06 and don't have the port for air in the front nor the hose under the back seat.
Which trim?
Seatbelts moving up and down. Common in Europe and makes sense. Makes sure that different sized people can be accommodated properly. It also tightens on impact and if not fitted properly can cause problems for the occupant
What’s the proper height to have the belt at?
@@shouldigetitWell, Im no expert but the rationale says that level at which the belt is attached to the bodywork should be in line with the top of your shoulder ie ,not attached at a too higher point above your shoulder. This then gives a much better chance of the belt maintaing its hold on you in the event of an accident
Seatbelt moving is for different heights of people, in Europe we have tallest people on earth it’s a European car, my moms husband for example is 6”8 he’d use the seatbelt raise option
Is this car reliable?
The seatbelts in my mom's '01 Lexus LS430 have motorized height control as well. I'm curious to know how your Cayenne turbo is doing for you now. I'm looking at one of these myself but the sentence "16 year old twin-turbo German car" terrify the Hell out of someone coming from reliable Japanese cars.
Shoot me an email if you want more in-depth detail. The car did well. I actually sold all of my cars this year (even thought I bought this one earlier this year) as I only have 1 parking spot and now own a Fiat 500 Abarth.
@@shouldigetit Noooo....how could you sell it? I love my CTT. When that boost kicks in....
Adjustable seat belts are so for passenger or driver hieght .so you dont firm grip your throat or neck while you are driveing .
If you have your windows down and/or your sunroof. all you need to do is insert the key into the door and hold lock for 10 seconds or so and your windows will roll up for you automatically as long as you have the key turned.
That is cool! Jeff do you know if it'll do the same thing if you hold the unlock button on the remote?
@@shouldigetit I'm not sure because my remote has a disfunction and not sure how to fix it. As in you press the unlock once to unlock and then you press the unlock twice to lock and the lock button does nothing. Yeah, figure that one out why dontchya. Plus my keyless entry is on the fritz as in when i walk up to it it doesn't just open like its suppose to. I have the keyless ignition dongle factory thing where your key just stays in your pocket no matter what. Until its on the fritz that is. But enough about me, its your vlog. LOL.
Where's the button/switch for the height adjustment?
Center console near the cupholders. Not all the Cayennes have this feature.
Also, remember to check and clean the water drainage, or when it rains or if you wash your SUV, you going to get water coming inside the cabin because the drains are blocked.
Thank you Scottie! How do I clean those out?
@@shouldigetit There are videos posted. It’s pretty simple, remove grommets and stick your fingers in to remove dirt. Look for the videos on YT.
