Good post. Seems like he struggled a bit with the electrical harness and other items blocking access. Did he follow the Audi service technician procedure? Or was it a feel/figure it out method?
The video was more of a feel / figure procedure on the wiring harnesses. Otherwise, seemed to have the proper tools figured out. The link to the text and photo instructions details the proper way to unhook the harnesses. Together, the OP should have enough information to give it a go.
Got all the tools. BMW uses those spark plug sockets. Or at least the one I have is the right size.
I have a membership at PIWISTIS so the Porsche instructions with the toque specs will be there.
Just need to confirm the part number. And pray that the person who gave me the info for the tool knows what she is taking about. The cheapest tool that will work on a 2020 cayenne in the X431 ProS Mini
After my last $1000 service bill it's time for me to man up and figure this out
If more the cayenne stores what service was done when. I paid for a brake fluid change and the didn't mark it. I wonder how I can fix that.
You may also want to consider an independent. I think I remember you mentioning you're in Ohio (in a prior thread). I've used Steinels for servicing and typically they're less due to using OEM (Bosch parts) instead of Genuine (Bosch with Porsche logo on it). However, I was unable to find an OEM spark plug for this car. Only the genuine. When you mentioned above that you're looking to confirm the part number, do you mean for the plugs? Should be this part number.
Thank you. Steinels is 30 minutes from me. Only hear good things about them. Wife drives 35,000-40,000/year figuring out how to DIY and use FCP euro literally saved me $10,000 in maintenance vs the dealer (Macan currently has 165,000 miles). As often as she needs service it's easier and way cheaper if I do it.
If they can't guarantee the x431 can do it then I'll give Steinels a call.
Bingo! Thanks Bxtr. Part number is available at FCP for $30/each. Scanner is $750. So for an extra $100 if I can DIY every other one will be $20 for shipping.
Step 1 done. Confirmed the launch x431 Pros Mini was confirmed to work by the company. Paid $830 on Amazon. Could have paid a hundred or so less but want to be able to return it if it doesn't work.
Today going or download the instructions. The good news is Of this works I can start to do my own oil changes.
Step 2 failed. There is a new PIWIS TSI site. You have to register, confirm you are a business, and promise not to share. So I applied for access and waiting to hear back.
Well I am now a Porsche Partner network member. I think that means I can now access all Porsche repair documents. Downside is you have to agree not to share.
Launch Pros mini $830
Spark plugs $180
1 hour to download instructions $17 at PPN
So to save $800, I just spent $1040
Will let you know how it goes
The TSI turned into the PPN. But when I put in my VIN all the information including service a s extended warranty come up. Pretty cool. Does not have a parts diagram I can follow.
Thanks. Those are the plugs I ordered. $29 each from FCP. TWhere did you get the pic? The Porsche website has the picture but the parts are not labeled.

Check out the link I posted. It takes you to the LLL Parts site which contains an expansive library of diagrams for Cayennes.
