Godd thread guys' I've got one:

You can adjust the seat and steering wheel, so when you open the door they both move into a position to allow easier access in. Once key is inserted, they move back to your chosen position (memory).

by pressing the accelerator all the way down and then pushing beyond its stop, this initiates the kickdown which will drop it into first, also good for engine braking while approaching a corner. You will feel it go beyond its stop just a little bit, like pressing a button.

Some of the early Cayennes...'03-04 came with a first aid kit that wasnt meant for the North American market.... it was later removed.

Also the turbos have ridges on the front lid where the non turbos do not.
early cayennes had liners on the front lid, it was later made without.

There are buttons on new cayennes on the B-Pillar area close to the floor beside the seat for turning off the inclination sensor and interior monitoring.

JUST DONT get heavy on the brakes with the PCM off. If you have ever done this you will note that the pedal REALLY firms up when the PCM is off.

And that's a feature I can deal without.

While sitting at the lights today I played with holding the PCM off for 10secs in a variety of combination of Sport, 1st gear, etc...no hidden Launch-Mode. Dang!

if it's in mono mode and your passenger touches their temp button it switches to dual mode, so you should have always been able to do this - many just do not know how to change it back so the temps adjust at the same time.

Is there a way to independently adjust the Fan Speed between the driver's and passenger's side of the Cayenne. Independent temp control is possible, but I can't seem to figure out how to have independent fan control.

Absolutely, turn the auto button off, light should be off and fan control will be independent of each other. As a footnote, you can control the rear passengers temperatures and fan this way too if so equipped.

If you press and hold main (on PCM) then push trip you will activate the firmware version screen.

I love this one! Thanks!

I've got one. If you drive your CTT a whole bunch you can get the plastic coolant lines in the intake manifold to burst and watch coolant fly out of your exhaust. This hidden feature is useful if you want to suddenly blanket the tailgater behind you with coolant and water! Awesome.
