Hi
This is my first post on the forum so please bear with me -
My Cayman, first registered in September 2013 and purchased by me in December 2019 a 3.4S PDK has been great and I have been very pleased with the car.
However in December 2020 it failed to start - the battery was replaced with new, the car re-programmed and everything was fine again. However it did show a 'sim' display in the dash on start up - presumably indicating that a sim was missing in the tracker unit??
In April this year the car failed to start again - the ignition key had been inserted, dash lights came up and I turned the key and the car fired up but then immediately shut down and would not start again at all. It was recovered to an independent Porsche Centre, and according to the diagnostics the Vehicle Tracker module was faulty.
I do not pay a subscription on the tracker do not have any fobs etc, but the car is disabled.
The solution would appear to be to replace the vehicle tracker module but we have been unable to locate the tracker module in the car despite advices from Porsche Centres. To my mind the vehicle tracker module must be fitted into the wiring loom somewhere and it should therefore be a simple operation to unplug the connector and insert the new module connector - but we are still looking for the tracker module.
Has anyone had this problem and if so what was the solution and fix.
My car has been off the road now for over four weeks and with the good weather now I am keen to get behind the wheel.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
