Picked up my 2011 Cayenne a week ago. I really love it. But it also seems to have a problem saving settings. The most annoying thing is that the radio comes on each time I start the car. I left voice mail for my salesman last night asking if there's some trick to getting it to remember I want the darn thing off. No call back yet. I'm grateful to have found this thread and discovered I'm not the only one with this problem.

And no, I couldn't RTFM since they don't leave the manual in loaner vehicles.

I had the same problem after the 40k service reset all the settings on my 2011 Cayenne Turbo.
(Speaking to the issue of remembered comfort settings by the original poster, not the off topic conversation on PCM on/off)
The settings would not stick using various methods.
I finally found this procedure that worked:
1. Unlock the car with your remote.
2. Start the car.
3. Set all your settings.
4. Press the memory button (don't hold it).
5. Hold memory 1 until you get an audible ding.
6. Press the memory button.
7. Hold memory 2 until you get an audible ding.
8. Turn off the car.
9. Open the door and close it.
10. Lock the car with the same remote.
That saved them for me. Hope it works for others.

same problem need help...
Closure! All fixed, no parts, and minimal effort.
Cause: Control unit for seat memory incorre t basic setting and coding.
Correction: Attempted to clear fault memory. Fault would not clear. Started guided fault finding. Per test plan checked function of fore aft seat adjustment. Found working normally, was about to replace control unit per test step two. Tried resetting to factory setting and recoded control unit manually, then ran normalization procedure on seat. After procedure completed, fault would clear and seat memory functions were available and working as specified.
