Looking For Alternator Cable TSB / DIY
Looking for the TSB that shows Porsche service how to replace the Alternator Cable Loom Assembly in mostly MY05 Carreras. Looking to do the project myself next week, and any information would help. Thanks.

The dealership just did mine and charged 8 hours labor. 
I don't remember all the details but my adviser explained they have to remove many parts to get to the cable. I seem to remember the oil separator and A/C condenser were just a couple of the parts that had to be removed/re-installed.

Only info that seems useful I have found is the following.
"There is no need to remove the engine, not even lowering on a Tiptronic. It takes more time and is harder to do due a lack of room around the gearbox area, but it is still doable."
"The little box should be located on the passenger side of the transmission. It is a plastic black box (maybe 2 inches long) that you have to open to see the cables, as on picture."
"If your car is a tiptronic, The mechanics go under the car and pop the
pin that holds the cable to the top of the transmission with a very
long piece of metal. There is a big transmission
cooler on top of the trans that makes replacing the cable
extremly hard.
A manual is easier but still requires removing the air intake on top
of the motor."
"The alternator cable drops down from the top of the transmission and connects to a plate. I
would assume that the other wire to the plate is the wire from the battery."
New planned route for removal.
1. Remove air box
2. Remove underside plastic cover below tranny.
3. Perhaps remove alternator / drive belt
