Just bought my first Cayenne - many questions...

For your "license plate dilemma", checkout www.stonsho.com. They offer removeable brackets to hold the front plate - no drilling required. I have one of these on my Taycan.

Your link doesn't go where intended so I've reposted it below. (No need to add the url brackets using the toolbar icon. If you do use it, it generally needs to include the full address, including the "http" or "https". Otherwise the link doesn't work as expected. )

Just copy/paste your url in the body and Carpokes will resolve it to the address you want.

Thx @Rich_911 !

@Bob I set up the diamond button on the steering wheel to take the car out of start/stop mode for quicker mode changes. do you know if that button can be programmed to put the car into sport mode? if so I might do that because that would accomplish both things for me.

Sport mode disables the start/stop function.

As for the diamond shortcut button, I don't think Cayennes allow one to add drive modes to it, but you might want to try scrolling through the available shortcut options to be sure.

yeah, just wondering if i can set the diamond button to put the car into sport mode. will check it out when my wife gets home with it.

I just edited my response above, adding that I don't think you can program drive modes on the shortcut button, but I don't know for sure. If you find that it's possible, please let us know!

Regarding #6, you can turn off “comfort entry” in the menu and the seat and wheel will stay in place rather than retract.

Vague memory of that option has reentered my foggy grey matter. Temporarily anyway... Good reminder and thanks!

PS: We're having some PCM issues on the Cayenne, so I'm about to do a factory reset. Guess I'll be relearning and refamiliarizing myself with the menus again whether I like it or not.

I only remembered that because I was playing with the PCM menus on the ‘25 I am picking up tomorrow. It had the LKA turned off among other things. I’ll get familiar, set it how I want it then forget how to do it if my wife changes it

Hah! Some of menu choices are car-specific rather than driver-specific. The driver-specific ones make it easier to customize differing preferences. However, in the end it's not s big deal for most. It's all good!

Enjoy your Cayenne! Let us know how it is. Pics too.

I've been driving it and I got the seat memory thing turned off.

Thank you @Stormy_Monday, by driving in sport mode, that has pretty much taken care of #2 (braking) and #7 (vibrations at stoplight).

I'm starting to like this car quite a bit.

Sadly, it came up with "ACC unavailable message" which the car is at the dealership to have that diagnosed. so that's more than a little disappointing.
