Cayenne 06 Turbo reversing Camera
You only need to get the PCM coded for the AV input to work. I just went through this on my '06 Turbo S when the OEM camera failed and Porsche wanted over $1500 for a new camera/telescoping motor setup (my motor still worked fine). The control box on OEM equipped Cayennes only controls the motor and supplies the voltage (6.5V) for the camera. The camera output signal goes through a FAKRA connector all the way to the front and connects into the back of the PCM. I hooked up a 9V batter to an Ebay camera and plugged it in directly to my PCM through a RCA video to Fakra adapter and the camera worked as good or better than OEM. I just adapted the mounts for the OEM telescoping setup, figured I might as well use it since it was there and worked. Many of the aftermarket kits just replace one of the license plate lights with a angled camera. You will need your PCM coded for the backup camera if it didn't have it before. My OEM PCM failed and I bought a newer (2007 PCM2.1) from Ebay and plugged it in and got my dash compass & Satellite radio back but not the A/V. I took it to the dealer and it took 15 minutes or less for them to recode the PCM.

Porsche only sells the telescoping mechanism/motor & camera as a complete package. If you are mechanically inclined you can carefully take the telescoping mechanism apart and clean out the old grease/dirt/corrosion and re-grease the little jackscrews and see if that fixes it.

Thank you Hahnmgh63. My local Euro car mechanic called me this morning. They made another attempt at totally dissembling and cleaning the telescoping motor. It works again now. I suspect this will happen again in the future since I live at the beach where the salty air is more than likely the culprit.

havent installed the camera yet,
the indy activated the reverse camera with no issue,
only thing is when I put the car to reverse then into drive the back up screen still appears for a little while before the PCM displays the main screen
how quick should the back up camera screen appear after going into reverse?
how quick should the back up screen go back to main screen after back to drive ?

I would like to use the original location. Was looking at this one, but not sure if it will run on the 6.5v.

The reverse camera comes on when I put it in reverse however
1. I can't activate it manually by pressing AV button
2. After putting it into drive again, I get the black screen that says "camera does not replace looking over shoulder" for a while.
Is this right?
