These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

Over the last few weeks if I've let my (987.2) Cayman S sit for a few days my radio presets will be gone (and I'm greeted with a full volume static) when I start the car. It sort of feels like a battery somewhere is exhausted (other electrical components like garage door opener seem fine and the car doesn't have any trouble turning over). I've had general issues with the stereo in that the lowest audible volume is very loud. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into similar and has any advice other than taking it to the dealer.

POST 2Original post

some of the posters on p9 have mentioned strange electrical gremlins when the battery is on the verge of giving up.... perhaps using a cell tester for the battery first?

POST 3Original post

I had some similar symptoms when my cdr30 went faulty. It had the Bluetooth telephone module and when I started the car after a 30 minute break on a road trip all presets had gone, the Bluetooth module wasn't working and I was greeted with high volume static. It was working fine just before and hadn't shown any previous signs of problems. I had a friends garage take a look but they couldn't see anything obvious so I decided to spend a few hundred quid on a new head unit and the euromotorspeed fitting kit instead of paying a porsche dealer a lot of money to fix a pretty crappy unit! Good luck with yours tho. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

POST 4Original post

The replacement head unit fixed the issues? My bluetooth has actually never worked since I purchased the car, so your description sounds as close to mine as I could hope for over the Internet. Did you replace it with a stock unit or an aftermarket one? I googled the 'euromotorspeed fitting kit' and assume based on that you went aftermarket but just wanted to make sure.

POST 5Original post

Do u use a CTEK battery maintainer? I'm suspicious of battery sulfation and that's one of the first things I would try. I use mine if it is going to sit more than 3-4 days.

POST 6Original post

So although I might let my car sit a week or two before starting it, I haven't actually experienced any problems starting the car. Do you think the radio would struggle more than starter motor? I'm just curious if you thought my car was idle for a long period of time or if there was another element of your post I was missing?

POST 7Original post

Yes. Sulfation can make a battery do strange things, and your type of use typically leads to sulfation. Have you ever heard a car alarm in a parking lot go off for no reason? That typically is from sulfation. U I need to read up on sulfation. The CTEK can often fix sulfation problems if they have not progressed too far.
