I bought an Alpine amp harness that uses the same connector.
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.

Hah. Ejector seats were what I was hoping for but afraid to try. Auto pilot is great as well. I could use that when calls come in. I want to add a backup camera. I can trace the wires then.
Do you have a backup camera installed? My car has a similar switch that allows you to edit settings on the headunit while the car is in motion that would normally only be available when the handbrake is applied.
Negative. I want to install one. It has an Alpine touch screen. I am not too familiar with its settings but you might be on to something. Seems to be quite a few menu options missing.
Just tried a DVD and only the sound works. Might be a park switch to make video show up?
Back when these were still being "CPO'd" for Porsche Factory Warranty, we had to remove any aftermarket items.
The K40's were hidden with the module back behind the dash and just small radar sensors wired in the front and rear bumpers. There was always a switch to turn them off so that they are not alerting the Cops if they came up to your window. Some States had Laws against Radar Detectors so they were hidden and if you still got hit, you could turn it off and hopefully not get a ticket for speeding AND a ticket for unlawful Radar Detector...lol
All the ones I removed had a switch there or just to the right in the panel behind the center console..
Of course it could be wired to anything, I personally would be turning it off and on to see what happens instead of asking for guesses...lol
Yea, I had my heart attack in 2014 and retired. I haven't had any dealings with the new K40's, but I think they are still the top of the line along with the Valentine 1...
I still haven't flipped the switch, hah. I took the radio out and tried to see if I saw the same wires coming in behind it but did not.
I am trying to add a backup camera but the dang harness for reverse wire input is missing from the head unit. I bought an Alpine amp harness that uses the same connector. Hopefully it fits.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
