It just unscrews - replacement in your interior color. Should be simple. -

Back in 2006 Porsche started putting a tamper byte the ECU - I'm pretty sure once that byte has been set it cannot be reset by normal means. Have you tried FVD to see if other California customers have reported this? and what they did )if anything)?

New batteries still die whether AGM or wet cell. I have seen good 8 year old batteries and I have seen bad 3 month old batteries. You likely just got a bad/weak one - you never know how long a battery sat on the shelf before you purchase it.

The connector could be for the side marker light? The rubber and clear hose is a vent for the battery. Since the battery is inside the car (front trunk) it needs a vent for the gases. A compatible battery will have the proper vent hose connector.

AGM will be fine with or without a battery tender. The newer (since the late 1990's) battery tenders adjust for the battery type.

The dealer's PIWIS tester should have caught a bad control unit. I would start following the wiring back from the front right sensor looking for damage by road hazard or even mice chewing on the wires.

Have someone press down on the boot (gently) while you release the switch.

Crank no start frustration!

Could also be the cam position sensor itself. -
99 08 Wheels Interchangable

Those MY08 wheels have different offsets which I guess you found out. -

So it did work at one time? Seems like a Porsche shop with a PST2 or PIWIS would be able to narrow it down more. Or at least try to reprogram it. One hesitates to remove the steering wheel because of the airbag (spring) and some delicate wire connections. But in the end that may be required.

Chances are you are going to need to get into the inner door by removing the panel. Besides the microswitches look for wear on the the latch mechanism (for remote locking) as those wear out also. Check the windows regulator (cable) if it is worn replace it.

Have you tried re-training the window? Here is what you do - press and hold the window down - once it is all the way down continue to hold for 10 seconds, Next do the same for window up - hold until up then hold another 10 seconds. Let us know if that fixes it.
