Ahh...I found the 12v sockets! Thanks!
I must say, they're really concealed under there

All models have this feature!

At every 60K to 70K of driving your center support drive shaft will break and sound like a hammer hitting the inside of your center console. www.coloradodriveshaft.com sells over 40 rebuilt and balanced drive shafts per month due to this known Porsche defect. Luckily it is only a $375 part and the work can be done in about 2 hours. I did mine today with 68,080 miles on my 2005 CTT. All Touregs, Q7's, and Cayennes (all models) have this same issue!

This has been going 4 years and no one has addressed the small wheel in the center of the dash above the radio. What is this?

Do you have a picture of it? If it's the silver wheel center top that open / closes the dash a/c vent behind it. This cools the entire car equally instead of air blowing on you. Only wheel looking thing I've ever seen??

Yes. Thanks that's it. I finally found a small mention of it in the manual but it didn't really explain much. Strange concept but if it works, it works.

mine must be broke then because mine won't shut. it'll open with the remote but the only way i can shut it is to push the button on the tailgate itself. i've tried holding the remote, pushing it twice, nothing...
