When a Cayenne turbo is running up to and over 85 MPH during the day time, the head lights will turn on for safety when the switch is on auto position......

Mine is an aftermarket. Based on Mudman's recommendation

I have seen threads stating that it must be done at the dealer.
Point me in the right direction. I need a hitch

Its the curtis hitch (i think it's about 250 bucks - you can find it online). View mudman2's profile and go to his rennlist website link. Very detailed pictures. Looks fairly easy to do.

What are you doing with inflatable dolls in your truck? Or should we even ask.

I'll try Robin's tip on the "shift to reverse and it starts" to see if it works on an S.

Unplugging the wiring harness on your Bi-Xenon headlights sometimes will erase the fault for a few weeks....

I saw this one and thought 'that is pretty strange - I've got to try it'...

It does not do that on my 06 Turbo S. Are you sure that is the intended behavior? Seems odd to me...

turn key on, step on brake, shift from park to R engine will start without turning the key to start.

+1 This does not work. However, the P!g starts automatically when turning the key and depressing the brake pedal. Maybe some newer owners weren't aware of the automatic starting (dont need to hold key). Treg does that too.

You mean just slide out the head light and slide it back in again?
