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 RU-vid, 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 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! -Gabby
@@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.
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!!
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.
@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.
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!
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.
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
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!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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 🙄. TC Annapolis, MD
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. TC Annapolis, MD
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.
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 😢
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 :)
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.
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.
@@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)
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!
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 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1znWKGCAu_A.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 ;)
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 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.
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.
@@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.
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
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 .
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🤣😅😂
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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. TC Annapolis, MD
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!
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.
@@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.
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. TC Annapolis, MD
@@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.
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.

The seat belt hight is very important if you are tall , in the bmw e38 if you move the seat back the belt will rise automaticly asouming that if you move back the seat you have long legs so the torso is longer and higher so you need the belt from higher point i had a 2009 957 3.0 tdi it had this feature
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
@@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
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 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.
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).
@@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.

@@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?
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. 👍
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.
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
