My 2008 Cayenne GTS 6-speed and PCCM+ Install

Many of you have asked me to do a video on our 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS with a very rare 6-speed manual transmission. This was once the Vancouver press unit that I drove back then for a week-long test drive and years later I ended up buying the very same unit. This 2008 Cayenne GTS Manual was very well equipped as a press unit with Nordic Gold Paint, full-leather interior, PCCM to name a few sought after features. Come for a quick ride and see how Porsche Centre Vancouver installs a new PCCM+ factory replacement radio for these first generation Cayenne models. This factory part has bluetooth connectivity, which wasn't available in 2008, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Audi, Sat radio integration and more.

Don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever sell this beauty. Ever.

[@mspencer9]

Yea like ever.

[@Nardib]

Nice to see Porsche supporting older models

[@bassandtrebleclef]

Love that color, transmission, wheels, new head unit and V8. Hate the petrol bill!

[@DavidD073]

Awesome vehicle 👏🏻👏🏻 … and awesome video! 🧡 The only thing missing was Andrea’s perspective! 😊

[@ChooliYip]

You are lucky guy to get this unique menu GTS, Congrats! I will definitely replace the old school radio on my 08 CTT with the new PCCM+ unit soon. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Gearsandco]

Beautiful machine mate! I got the 2013 GTS and which they made a manual for the E2 model.

[@davereimer1797]

Finally. video on this car. love it! nice work Zack.

[@zackdenardis]

Yay!!! I’ve been waiting for a deeper dive on this beauty!

[@randomrawrecords6727]

Great GTS … Would absolutely love to have a manual GTS. Might have to settle for a auto though! Still great!

[@peterharris5953]

Still remember my first ride in my old mans friends Gen 1 Turbo S when it was essentially brand new. Im looking for a GTS atm. In great colour in manual...that car is perfect.

[@mikeahab]

Love the car!! Glad you finally had an excuse to review it 😂👍

[@davidk4682]

Great car, great review, great job!

[@mikejohnston3660]

Hi Zack, great detailed review ! I love your unique Cayenne ! Brenda and I had the pleasure of meeting with you and Andrea at the VW launch in Niagara on the Lake. You both must be excited about the GTI ! Regards Mike

[@watchthis2139]

Can't wait to get it!

[@Armen567]

Super cool Cayenne.

[@gordonwalls7281]

Absolutely beautiful car❤

[@steviefms]

Unreal video and vehicle!

[@randythomas4363]

He's not the only one. I have one the same color from the factory

[@watchthis2139]

With manual and pddc?

[@bederhajali]

I am very happy for you.

[@BIMClub]

Love the color!

[@hifibest]

Excellent!

[@anthonyb755]

Love it!!

[@deadfishparty]

Love it 👌🏻

[@jb2explore]

I like it!!

[@KokoDionis]

All the watch videos are gone? I loved those

[@quarters-eye8922]

Awesome 😎👍👍👍

[@TheTomatoBite]

Definitely Unicorn Collectible for Canada 👍

[@user-qu8pd6fu7g]

Lucky guy!

[@kellingtonlink956]

Even though you probably aren’t gonna tow an Air France A380 or… entertain entering any Transsyberian Rally or… attempting to set a new record on the Nuremberg Ring…. there is something special about the Cayenne (particularly the GTS)… in just knowing you …COULD. I think it’s a brilliant automobile for a top tier Automotive Journalist/Enthusiast, such as yourself(s). Congratulations, great choice… particularly with that manual. One day… perhaps… a 911 Targa (for Andrea) would definitely finish the picture. Thanks for the video.

[@watchthis2139]

A 911 one day is the plan, only a la. Right now...

[@william6765]

Real nice toy

[@nickolastiguan]

Well kept car from Edmonton.

[@watchthis2139]

It's in amazing shape, the guy had a bunch of cars and private carwash

[@genzigzag]

Orange crush! Zack, you haven't done a classic car review from Cor Cars in awhile, when can we expect one 😊

[@watchthis2139]

Too busy

[@randythomas4363]

I live in NC and no one has this suv I really like my GTS and mines is 6speed like my 2013 Honda accord sport is a 6speed

[@found2secure]

You mentioned the new PCCM+ needs a new module to connect with the sound system. Does that module come with the PCCM+ package or it’s something you have to buy separately?

[@bombardierboerboels]

As it part of the classic line up now would you be able to purchase the off-road package now not many have it 👍

[@johnathonmcalister6645]

This just turned up as a suggested video - 3 months late. I have an '09 Cayenne GTS - but it's not a manual. Your comment about 1st gear being "short" is interesting, as the automatic starts in 2nd unless sport mode is turned on or I override with the tiptronic (took a while for me to figure out how to access 1st gear). No PDCC (sigh), and mine has the "Basalt Black" paint color. I've taken it on the track, as well as on logging roads in the winter - the air suspension, low gear, and drivetrain lock all come in handy in the mountains of Colorado and Montana. My head unit (PCM 3?) does not include Sirius XM or Bluetooth or even an AUX port - I would like to learn if my Cayenne is supported by the PCCM+ (fingers crossed).

[@veeco3110]

They start you off in second in normal mode due to them trying to get better gas mileage on the window sticker. I have a 09 cayenne s, and it’s not very good on gas. Even worse now that it’s a safari truck

[@randythomas4363]

I own the same color and the same type

[@DARIOcaptain]

That's a clean Cayenne. What do you think about the S models? I feel like those are often underappreciated and many only aprreciate the GTS.

[@watchthis2139]

The S is excellent, buy what you like

[@blabla-bu5nr]

Hallo good Sir My name Ivan Georgiev and I’m a huge fan of Cayenne GTS manual. First of all thank you for the informative article - it did help me greatly with my research for a fair price for this model. I just wanted to ask if oh don’t mind what would you consider a fair price for 2008 Cayenne GTS under 80000 miles? With best regards

[@Mara-pool]

Ручная коробка это извращение! Купи себе ваз и катайся !

[@foodchef6]

Apparently the CD player is unavailable on the new head unit?

[@mvman4122]

I’m looking at an 08 GTS today with 86,000 miles on it. Will get it inspected at a European Auto independent shop nearby before deciding. Curious as to what tires ( they look great) you have on this beauty?

[@blabla-bu5nr]

What’s a fair price for it? What do you think?

[@KokoDionis]

I Feel like Doug Demuro would love to do a collab with this car. Also since we are on Watch this can we get an updated state of the watch collection video?

[@musti7516]

Its amazing that Porsche makes upgraded units for their own older generation cars. This usually never happens with other car manufacturers i know of.

[@paulscape72]

Problem is they’re expensive. I replaced my head unit with Kenwood, then upgraded entire audio system with Alpine and a JBL sub for probably the same price. Sounds amazing.

[@30kenton]

My boss had a similar car like yours back when I work for his company back in 2008..and from what I remember car looks super expensive, but for some reason his car would be in the shop twice a month for repair issues. After about a year of owning it he try selling it and no one would buy it..he eventually trade it to a dealer..My question to u Zack during 2008 to now do u know what issues the car had during the first release..

[@watchthis2139]

This one is very reliable

[@_4rman]

Still need to know where to get one 😅

[@Zionfarm]

How much was the installation?

[@pinalbert]

I have a black one

[@Dranreb865]

Currently here in my country, a 957 gts manual costs around 50 to 60k usd. I believe in the us you can get it around half.

[@LimitEdit]

there's one here in Germany listed for 30.000 euros. It's the same color and Manual and has PDCC. The inside is full spec with special seat with the logo stamped in.

[@downshiftpedal]

Where are all the watches videos

[@firefox39693]

Which would you take on a super long road trip? This, or the Cayenne diesel?

[@watchthis2139]

Diesel for sure

[@amit_dhami]

How much did you pay for this car ?

[@s.r8523]

I Need the pccm for mine Cayenne

[@morpheus6d9]

wireless android auto ?

[@nickolastiguan]

10:45 some people = probably his Chinese customers 😂 we like to leave the protective strip on everything 😂

[@genzigzag]

That's a stereotype statement... I'm not Chinese and I leave the protective cover one my new cars for a few months

[@nickolastiguan]

@@genzigzag only few months? A lot of us leave it on for as long as possible. And in case of something like TV remote, some people would wrap it in food film/wrap after the factory strip falls off 😂

[@30kenton]

Why does it have a navigation app and a map app..

[@watchthis2139]

Some want it in the head unit, I'm puzzled too

[@wangwei2003ca]

🎉1st

[@ParissaKhoury]

Is this car for sale?

[@watchthis2139]

No

[@brent_afi]

Don’t ever Sell it or sell to me when your next next antennae goes hot lol Like my guitars 🎸

[@afarangi4839]

A piece of junk

[@watchthis2139]

Say's you

[@michaelellman7205]

Totally, I'll take it off his hands for 1,000.

[@ryanray6215]

@afarangi4839 What's yours " A piece of junk " ?

[@jerrodmatthew]

The cliche jealous comment, work hard, pal, and you can have nice things too 😂

[@Dranreb865]
