What does Porsche put under the passenger's seat, if any, on a 2008 Cayenne? I bought this nifty storage drawer on ebay but when I went to install it, I noticed a black metal chassis of sorts and some wiring harness'. Was wondering if there was a factory option not equipped in my car? I considered removing the chassis/metal frame to install the 'drawer' because I would love the extra storage but it doesn't look like an easy DIY.

 

If you have PCM the dvd unit should be down there, otherwise its normally fire extinguisher storage

 

I actually have the Fire Extinguisher to PCM option, only it's on the driver's side seat. Not sure I've even seen a FExt. under the passengers seat. It makes sense that that's where they would put the DVD, which I obviously don't have. Not a bad spot for an after market amp though. There's a whole lot of room under there to be wasted.

 

I have the dvd down there on mine, and never have reason to dig down there on customer cayennes. I glanced at my owners manual (2006 is mine vs 2008, but few interior changes), and on pg 225 it simply says there is a pull out drawer with room to store a fire extinguisher. If you have nothing under there, i dont see why you shouldnt feel free to use the space.

 

My Cayenne has a drawer under the passengers seat with a red bag that is a Porsche first aid kit....

 

I've done quite of bit of searching and can't find a removal method for the steal and plastic bracket/chasis under the front passengers seat. My only guess now is to remove the seat completely (like how you would remove the driver's side to change the battery) to access bolts that may attach it to the floor board. After hacking and pulling at it for a while (yikes), I began to remove one of the bolts that holds the seat down but didn't have time to follow through. Before I remove the seat, any other suggestions?

 

I cant find any info in getting passenger seat trim / drawer loose to access t-case module. Manual seems to only cover driver side.

 

That's the location of the telephone prep kit and connectors on the 955. Not sure about the 957, but that would be my guess.

 

Does the fire extinguisher go in that drawer? I've heard it's an option, but no idea where you would actually fit one.

 

I always used the drawer to store my navigation CDs. It's not very big...
