Either light randomly turns on and starts flashing gradually bright and dim. Driver's side more than the passenger. Service advisor saw it turn on but mechanic couldn't replicate it. So we still have this problem near daily.

First drive of my new 2024 CPO Cayenne and having the same issue with overhead lights randomly turning on. Happened at least six or seven times. At first I thought it was linked to having wireless Android auto on because it seemed to do it about 30 seconds after I was done using the microphone where other features on the Android Auto.
Anyone else figure out what's going on here?

Any resolution to this problem? Mine started doing this a month or so ago, occasionally then more often. Always on the driver side up until this week, now on both sides and now sometimes flashing rapidly which is very annoying. Touching the light to turn it off does not always work. Eventually it stops on its own after a minute or two.

At my last service they determined that they needed to replace the overhead console with a unit coming from Germany. After 2 visits they were able to replicate it and ordered the new part

i read up on this and have u verified both lights are clean and free of any oils? such as lotion, natural oils etc? does a lotion user also use the car? also they are sensitive to grounding issues. if you are sure they are completely clean, and they are still faulty u could go to the dealer.
also certain electrical interference can mess w them. I do not know if hey are shielded, but if they aren’t and electrical interference is the cause, you would try to shield them but it might be tricky.
knock on wood mine seem to work flawlessly so far.

Yes, I have heard a popping noise too, I initially thought it was unrelated. No other electronics running, no phone messages or texts when this happens but it is a pretty consistent issue now. To the other posts, the upper console is squeeky clean, no cosmetics or oils or cleaning fluid residue.
Going into the shop tomorrow, will post any conclusions.

If anybody has a fix please let us all know! It's driving me crazy as well. 2024 Cayenne and you hear the pop noise like you are touching the screen and sure enough the drivers side light is on. Sometimes no matter what I do I can't turn it off. Really fun at night. Dealer says they need it for a week to diagnose.

my 2024 Cayenne, overhead light turns on/pop noise after 2 months of being bought, at the beginning, only the driver light only turned on, but for the last couple of days now the passenger light also turn on. I did cover the driver light with electric black tape until I take the Cayenne to the dealer which is 2:30 hours away from my home. I keep hearing the pop noise, but I just ignored. Most likely the overhead light need to be replaced, but is absurd dealer wants to keep the Cayenne for 1-2 weeks...I'm planning to make a video and send it to them.

Spoke with my SA today, he said Porsche is aware of the issue and will issue a software update to make the necessary corrections. No firm timeline yet on when or how this will happen, just have to wait it out. In the meantime I am going to cover up the lights with a tape sandwich of blue painters tape with some black electrical tape on top of the blue until the issue is resolved.
