Daylight Running Lights on Cayenne Turbo 2003

---

Hi Everyone. I finally got around to putting some DRL's on my 2003 Cayenne Turbo. After my wife had a bad t-bone in our 911 after a guy ran a red light driving into the sun, I'm sure that DRL's would have helped against the Porsche Silver "cloak of invisibility"!. Anyway I chose some cheap DRL's and a DRL controller from e-bay. I controller is really neat, in that it only requires wiring to the battery, and it detects the voltage increase when the car is running and turns the lights on

You can also turn on the DTRL with a scan tool on the Cayenne.

can you please give the make of controller you used

[darrinsmith]

It was one I got off eBay. Just search "Porsche drl controller". They are actually a generic item not Porsche specific though.

The same item is normally listed for every car on the planet!

Thanks I will look into this

Hello Wvicary, could you expand a bit on using scan tool to turn on DTRL? Thanks.

Do you have access to the Durametric software/cable?

[Gumby]

Ah, thanks for steering me in the right direction. I don't have a Durametric yet, but the dealer charged the equivalent to "install" DTRL on my 996, so thus the query as I need it on the Cayenne I just got. As I understand the website for Durametric, I would need to get the professional version to make code changes.

I'm confident using computers; is there anything you would suggest as a reason to stick with dealer charges rather than go on my own?

Where is the best place to order a Durametric software/cable for a Porsche Cayenne S 2008? I would like to set lights to always on if when there is sun.
