someone told me their is an ignition fuse, but after hunting thru 200 fuses i never found it.. this reset is REALLY easy, just need 13mm socket or something that would work.. the bolt was not very tight at all.

This is a pic of my 08 CS. If I need to reset (temporarily unplug the battery) the car, should I disconnect the wire shown in this picture? Can someone please confirm?

yes the bottom one.

i was told 120 seconds is the reset time,

also dont let it touch anywhere on chassis (remember entire chassis is a ground).. i stuck above carpet 2 minutes.. when u connect it will spark so hold the rubber... you technically are grounded but just to be safe.

i ONLY did this because my car did not work at all, obviously usually they say th disconnect battery when working on car so that all values are reset after adding mods/etc... i think with the difficult to access battery that this could be a good way to disconnect but not sure on the negative side effects.

dealer has me coming in tomorrow to check system, tech said like 3 different things in system affecting current cayenne's that they will check for..

ill update when i get back, i saw someone mention WA86 but dealer said its something like WD40 (not the spray). ill have the codes when i get back from dealer..
