Adding push start button, keyless entry, remote starter, and bluetooth app to Porsche Cayenne 957

[@Jdsofar]

This is very cool. Thanks for the tutorial. This would be so nice to have installed on my Cayenne. The remote start would be great to turn on and warm up my cayenne for a few minutes in the winter before I drive it. That would save me like 5 minutes every time I start my car in the winter instead of using the key like normal and sitting and waiting. Would just have to get around to taking the time to install this but it looks pretty straightforward and I like a challenge.

Very good video, On Ali it says Cayenne Year 2005 so i was wondering if this kit will fit my 05 cayenne turbo (955) , i know i almost is answering the question but I'm hoping that maybe you know for sure.

[@_ARUS_]

I’m like you almost certain that it will work but it doesn’t hurt to message the seller to confirm.

[@pezz38]

@@_ARUS_ orderd the kit , got it today but i have a repair on my driver side window i have to deal with first.

[@_ARUS_]

@@pezz38 I hope it’s not the window regulator; one of the most pain in the ass jobs ever 😭

[@Tran0370]

Just checking in. Are you still satisfied with it after 1 year?

[@_ARUS_]

@@Tran0370 yes I’m very happy with it; especially for the winter since I can start the car remotely to warm it up.
On a side note, after a lot of troubleshooting I found out that the optional bluetooth adapter (for the phone app) is slowly draining my battery so I disconnect it in the summer since I only use the app in the winter. Again the phone app is optional, you can still start the car remotely with the key (press the open button then press and hold the close button).

Hey stupid question, i love the mimic of porsche having the key to turn it on the left, do you think if i buy the kit i can somehow replace the push start button with the key contactor the original one buy a spare of doom key that you can just turn it to start?
Thank you

[@_ARUS_]

You can’t because the kit bypasses the original wiring; the cable that goes into the steering column goes into the kit then the kit’s cable goes into the steering column.

[@ducatispbrasil]

may you help me.
i just installed it on 987, when press the ignition button, release the frunk and don't start the engine

[@_ARUS_]

Hi Roberto,
I wish I can help you; the kit that I show in the video is for 956/957 (Cayenne first generation).
I don’t have any knowledge about 987; maybe it has different wiring.
Please contact the vendor who sold you the kit and explain the problem.
Good luck.

Hi, nice video. I wanted to ask you, but if the battery of the new remote controls used to communicate with the old key runs out, how do you get into the car and above all start the engine?

[@_ARUS_]

You mean if the car battery is down?
In that case you can use the original key and put it in the door handle and turn it to unlock the car, then pop the hood and charge the car battery with some external source (another car or battery charging unit).
So after you take the inside board from the original key to put it in the kit, don’t throw it away because you can still use the key to put in door handle and open the car.

[@giuseppebuda91]

@@_ARUS_ I don't mean the car battery.
I mean the battery of the new keys.
if it runs out even if I have old keys to open the door, how do I start the engine?

[@_ARUS_]

@@giuseppebuda91 You can open the key and put a new battery, also I have the bluetooth add-on so I can open the car with my phone in that case.

[@bmalalane]

Hi Arus.
If I may ask, how did you get the rear lights to flash(blink) the way they do when you put the ignition on? Is that another kit or merely bulb types or fuse replacement,

[@_ARUS_]

Go to settings -> comfort -> door opening -> signal and check/select the [turn signal] option.

[@_ARUS_]

If you’re talking about the part where I start the car remotely and the taillights are flickering, that’s just how the camera picks up the LEDs; in real life they’re not flickering.

[@MOTOWNN]

I was considering this kit for my 955 is it compatible with a 2004 Turbo?

[@_ARUS_]

@@MOTOWNN I think 955, 956, 957 are pretty similar but I recommend that you message the seller; I have the product link in my description (it’s not affiliated or anything).

[@josephhanna7542]

Hey thanks so much for this video. So helpful! Wanted to ask if you needed to connect a break line as well? Didn’t catch that part in the video.
Thanks

[@_ARUS_]

The kit is pretty much plug and play, so you only need to connect its wire harness which doesn’t require connecting a break line.

[@josephhanna7542]

Thank you for responding! The one I bought has an orange wire that appears to be for the brake connection according to the seller.
Will open up my car this weekend to attempt install

[@josephhanna7542]

Where did you find instructions on how to install?

[@_ARUS_]

@@josephhanna7542 maybe you have a different kit; mine is specifically for the Cayenne and I only had to connect 2 wire harnesses as you can see in the video: one is the ignition cable and the other is the cable that locks the steering wheel.

[@_ARUS_]

@@josephhanna7542 I found another video that shows how to solder the wires because the instructions that the vendor sent weren't clear about that, other than that I had to discover things by myself.

[@maxwelludell3672]

Nicely done. Has the company got back to you about the firmware doors issue you explained?

[@_ARUS_]

So after using the system for few months I realized thay there is nothing wrong with it; it works as per design.
If you approach the car it will unlock only driver door, if you walk away it will lock all doors.
Now let’s say you’re in your garage doing something, the car will keep unlocking/locking since you’re near by so you can simply lock the car by pressing the key button, once you do that you disabled the passive keyless entry mode and won’t be activated until you unlock the car by pressing the key button.

[@maxwelludell3672]

@@_ARUS_ but can you open all of the passenger doors with the unlock button on the remote? I thought that was the issue.

[@_ARUS_]

@@maxwelludell3672 yes, you have to press the button twice, first time it unlocks the driver, the second time it unlocks all doors.

[@maxwelludell3672]

@@_ARUS_ nice. Another thing, on AliExpress, some of the features on the app (heating/cooling, windows down function) say they only work on some models. Have you talked to the manufacturer about the functions and why they do/do not work with some models/trim levels?

[@_ARUS_]

@@maxwelludell3672 I didn’t ask about the other functions that you mentioned because I only cared about the remote starter since that’s what I needed the most for the cold winters here.

[@matthewhill8939]

How do i get this on my 2009?

[@_ARUS_]

Hi Matthew,
The link where you can buy it is mentioned in the video’s description.

[@jonathanknights7586]

Hi I have a 2009 cayenne gts where can I buy this system

[@_ARUS_]

There’s a link in the video description 🙂

[@jonathanknights7586]

But the key fab looks different than the one you show in the video

[@_ARUS_]

@@jonathanknights7586 good call, I asked the vendor that I want the keys that look like the 958 model and sent him a picture and he sent me those. It’s the same price.

[@sup3rbosseur]

Yellow wire do nothing but black and red is to give 3v to the key no ? How do you make it working without the 3v battery then to look and unlock ?

[@_ARUS_]

The original key’s board is soldered inside the kit and the kit comes with its own remote keys, so basically the new keys talk to the original key which in turn is soldered inside the kit which will lock/unlock the car.
Not sure if I answered your question, so please elaborate more on what component of the kit you’re asking about or what section in the video.

[@sup3rbosseur]

@@_ARUS_ Thanks for your fast reply, sorry if i explain not well. What i am asking you is at 7:05 of your video, you say yellow red and black wire does nothing, so you don't solder them to the original key but How the Orginal key can work if you don't use the Black and red wire instead of the 3V CR2032 battery to Power the Orginal Key

[@_ARUS_]

@@sup3rbosseur I’m not sure tbh, but it works; I simply followed the soldering instructions that came with the kit 🙂
