Congrats, It looks great. I like the Pano roof, but also like the looks of the rails. Enjoy!

They are not compatible, that seems clear. I think that my investment in Thule products is driving me toward just getting the proper feet and square bars for this CTT instead of embracing the Porsche factory solution.

BTW, does anyone know what option SW5 "Custom Tailoring Cayenne" means?

True. I was just saying that either look I liked, so was a toss up when I shopped for mine. I thought the pano, no-rail, looked more like a wagon, and the rails looked more SUV'ish. Again, both looked good in it's own way. Enjoy.

FYI, I went with the M0bridge for Bluetooth and ipod. Cartronics was a dealer and local and handled the install.

Congrats!! Great Vehicle.

I was sold and searching for a Cayenne Turbo but ended up going with her diesel cousin.

Great vehicles, you will love it.

Thanks Ryan,

I would love to know your experiences with the V-10, it appears to be a great power plant.

I am making my CPO repair list up and will be introducing the CTT to the local dealer. So far the list has:

Rough idle - coils?
Rear hatch does not open fully without assistance - lifting cylinders?
Exhaust tip clamps cracked - did a creeper inspection to find these

Any other suggestions?

Nice car, mind me asking what you paid?

That's a sweet Pepper (not Pig)! Like the Pano and amenities. CPO transfer to you is great (I don't think they will extend it). Enjoy!

Thanks! I agree that the CPO extension past 100K is a pipe dream. As it turns out, once I got the records I found this history so far on the replacement of common Cayenne issues:

02/07 Coils (but I think there are some gone bad again)
05/07 Rear Camera
01/09 Cardan Shaft (PM move courtesy of dealer)
08/10 Coolant Pipes (PM move, done as a condition of sale)

Some other work done of course, the usual services (20K, 30K, 40K, 60K) and F/R pads and sensors on 08/10 just before I picked it up.

Plenty of time and miles left to handle my list of CPO items:

Coils (idle is a bit rough)
Rear Hatch Lifters
Muffler Tip clamps are cracked (expecting a mild protest on that one)

Coils again. Not surprising, depending on what revision (out of 7?) they used last time. Also, you should definitely change the plugs when you change a (cracked) coil.

Rear hatch ED problem? Time for mechanical Viagra (new struts). Bit of a PITA to install, but again, has been discussed here before.

Assuming you have a trailer hitch, you might consider something like this in place of dealing with the Pano roof / rails issue

I don't even remember who came up with P!g, but I know it wasn't me or Larry.

I am installing the hitch in the next few weeks (have a big box in the garage). I went with Thule roof rack, since I have lots of their equipment racks. But the hitch mounted rear bike carrier is on the list as well, but the backrack stuff seems pretty pricey.

All the items above are going to be submitted to the dealer under CPO, we shall see how it goes. I will have them program the hitch and compass module (adding that once it shows up) so one visit should cover me for 2010
