wwilliams,
Thanks so much. Printed your instructions when they were initially posted, and stored them next to my stash of replacement filters for future use -- did the replacement today. Very helpful instructions / pictures.
Manual shows replacement interval of 40Kmi, vehicle was at 48Kmi -- should have done it sooner as it appeared that there was some mold on the old filter in addition to the expected amount of dirt. I'm moving my replacement interval to 30Kmi in the future just to be extra safe.
Took me about an hour, but next time probably 15 minutes.
Thanks again.

2014 Porsche Cayenne base - Carbin Filter
Just did this yesterday and took some pics for future reference. The procedure is a bit different for the 958, at least the 2013 model year. I suspect it is the same for the 2011 and 2012 model years as well. Thanks to slwong23 for his suggestions and observations and the others for the earlier versions.
First, their is only one screw to remove, using a T2 Torex wrench. It in the front, middle of the panel. You need a panel pry tool or strong fingers to release the front catches that are still holding it in place. Slip the tool between the panel and the glove box at one end to get the snaps to release. The end at the firewall is held in place with two rubber fingers that slip into brackets near the firewall. Rotating the front of the panel down will get these to slip out.
Once you have the panel off, you are confronted with an air duct that has to be removed in order to get to the filter box. There is a retaining catch near the passenger door that needs to be released first. Locate it with your fingers and pry one side open. It will slip off the post at that point. The other end is a slip fit, so wiggling will get to release.
The cover for the cabin filter does not have a screw holding it in place. Instead there is a hollow square plastic retainer at the firewall side that slips over a post at that end. The passenger side has a U shaped retaining clip. You have to release this one first. Its very tight quarters at that end. I could not get my fingers in there to release the clip. I fashioned a tool out of an old hose clamp by bending one end into a tight U. I slipped this end into the gap shown, hooked it over the retaining clip, gave a tug and this end of the filter cover released. Simply slip the other end off of the post.
The filter itself takes some squeezing and wiggling to remove. The filter is bigger than the opening, so you will need to get you fingers in there to compress it to get it started out of the opening.
Installation is the reverse of removal. Again, you have to compress the filter somewhat to get it into the box. Once it is in there, it wont fall out. Don't forget to put the gray foam gasket back on the filter cover before you snap it in place. Slip the firewall end over the post and snap the other end over the retainer post. The air duct is next, wiggling the large end back in place and snapping the retaining clip back onto the mating post. The two fingers on the back of the bottom panel slip into the appropriate brackets and the snap the front in place. Replace the one screw and you are done. With practice and the appropriate tool to get the cover retaining clip to release, probably a 15-20 minute job max.

By doing carbin air filter, air filter and oil filter DIY, I save quite a bit of money here ... LOL ...

Filter cover removal
Just did my 2013 Cayenne S. One thing that confused me was the location of the clip for the filter cover itself. On my vehicle the clip is located on the end of the cover nearest the center console. The instructions below led me to believe that it was opposite the center console. I may just be misinterpreting what wwilliams88 said, but if you look at his pics closely the pic showing the clip it does look like my cover (it has 3 little ribs near the clip). Thanks to wwilliam88 for posting this, I couldn't have done it without it!
