I’ve used the footwell point in other Porsches successfully.

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.

My crocodile clips wouldn’t extend from negative post to positive on battery. So plugged into socket in passenger footwell. Seems to stay live and has charged battery.
Anyone else use this socket for charging ?
Get the CTEK connector with the M8 eyelets and use an M8 screw to bolt the negative to the empty screw hole by the suspension mount:
You can then run the plug around the plastic frunk cover so you don’t have to remove it each time you want to leave on charge.
ETA: if you do it this way you don’t have to worry about the car shutting down the cigarette lighter socket after 30 minutes which I believe it may do on some.

Agree with the above. The nuts do not fully unscrew easily on Porsche battery leads fo what ever reason and it’s not easy to match the thread IME with another nut if there is enough thread sticking out to take another. Take the easy route, it will save you a lot of faffing about.
Fitted the CTEK system to my Cayman GTS today. The negative cable is a little short for my liking so I extended it. The M8 bolt seems to provide a good earth through the extra threaded hole that Porsche supplies so no need to remove any paint. To my mind this is a far superior solution than using the internal power socket.
