Park Assist

Can a Cayenne S be retro-fitted with original Porsche Park Assist?

I don't think so unless you have to change both bumpers at least.

Not sure if it is true as based on my knowledge of plastics, Porsche most likely have just one set of tooling of the bumpers - without the Park Assist holes. When an order requires Park Assist, they would most likely drill the un-painted bumpers on a fixture. Therefore, if my theory is correct, it is possible to retro-fit. Assuming also that it is possible to open up holes for the LED indicators on the front dash and the inside rear of the roof.

That is, a dealer would need to drill the respective holes on the bumpers, open up holes for the on/off switch, LED indicators front and back, do the wiring, etc.

If a Cayenne with the Park Assist were ever to have bumper damage in any accident, the dealer would have to know how to fix the damage presumably? And the LED indicators inside too? :help:
