2004 Cayenne Turbo new purchase (arrives Thursday)

[swaokes]

First of a few questions probably

Does anyone know of a good site for downloading pdf user manuals for cars of this year?

Does anyone know a good supplier of replacement sat Nav discs? Not entirely sure what I need TBH

Cheers

The sat nav wasn't very good when new, rubbish by today's standards. Buy a map or get ready to upgrade !
Have a look at Pelican Parts in the States, good website for info.

[swaokes]

Yes I can imagine its pretty poor; I would just like a map to pop up instead of a blank screen.

I'll check Pelican out thanks

Need to id which unit you have, these guys can help and supply discs ... not "that" up to date though:

My head unit looks like this. Its 2004 so PCM 2.1????




Will the 2016 version of this disc work do you think? The same head unit image is shown in the listing.

The PCM 2.0 and 2.1 look very similar. They are not the same though, the 2.0 is CD and the 2.1 is DVD

Contact the guys on [e-mail] , they were very helpful with mine making sure I got the correct disk etc

I used these guys for my Jag, in their Porsche listing they tell you how to check which version you have:

Also very helpful.

Cheers. I think you can check the software version by pressing 2 buttons at the same time on the had unit

I just use a Pure Highway 600 with DAB+ and Bluetooth phone connection for voice and music streaming which connects to FM without any hissing and then the iPhone for directions.

Wouldn’t dream of spending money on the old unit and given the complex’s connections installing a newer unit can cost up to £800.

My solution cost me £40 and works a treat. Worth considering given the breadth of issues it solves.

Yes I know that the sat nav will be rubbish and be out of date. Would be nice if it would display a map though.

How good is the Highway at controlling Spotify?

This looks interesting

Just looked at your pic again and wondered if you bought the one from round Birmingham way? I was looking at that one on Autotrader recently and think I recognise the duff pixels on the screen.

The maps are pretty basic when displayed but I understand where you’re coming from. It’s probably more useful for the directions in the dashboard screen than the actual map.

Supposed to be very good for Spotify, even has its own button. I have Apple Music so I just stream from my phone or listen to the DAB. Can’t believe the sound quality considering it’s broadcasting on FM.

One thing that is pretty pointless but nice to know which I found when installing the unit... there are two additional 12v sockets toward the top of the passenger footwell, just under the glove box. That makes a total of six for the car and slight overkill perhaps.

Where did you get a Pure Highway 600 for £40?

[swaokes]

Just managed to buy a Highway 600 for £60 on Ebay. Cheapest I could find.

Well spotted. I never noticed the pixels and yes that car is now sat on my drive.

It has PCM 3.0 according to the head unit; can anyone point me in the direction of a disk that will work for the St nav?

There was a deal on eBay a couple of months back so I bagged one for my previous Cayenne (that I ended up getting a refund on before picking up my replacement)

Did you bother to look at the first link I posted?

Of Course I have emailed them with info from the display. I don't understand which version i need based on my display and the web site. They have now emailed back. Order placed
I have 3 other issues

1. The clock does not seem to keep time; I actually saw it go backwards Is there an easy fix?
2. I can't set the date. Does not seem to give you the option.
3. I have wet carpet on the underside of the Rear NS door card where the puddle lights are. Not fully investigated yet. Are there drains in the doors that get blocked?

I believe the date is controlled by the feed from the Nav so once your disc arrives it should update automatically. The time seems odd though, have you tried the Rennlist forum for that one? There are some knowledgeable people over there for sure.

There are more drains on this car than the LA river system, have a quick look on YouTube for the locations and easiest way to ensure they’re running smoothly. I can’t recall one by the back door though. I presume the door seal is still intact and robust?

You also need to watch for the rear wash getting blocked up and dumping liquid - again good vids on YouTube for that one.
