Porsche Cayenne 958 (92A, E2) Equipment Codes
Every Porsche leaves the factory with a documented list of installed options — each one identified by a short alphanumeric equipment code (also called a PR number or option code). For the Cayenne 958, this list tells you exactly what your car shipped with: suspension type, exhaust, infotainment level, and dozens of smaller features that aren’t always obvious from looking at the car. The factory reference PDF below covers equipment codes for all markets and regions.
Where to Find Your Car’s Equipment Codes
- Options sticker — usually in the spare-wheel well or on the inside of the service book, listing every code your specific car was built with.
- VIN decode — an independent Porsche specialist or dealer can pull the full build sheet from your 17-digit VIN, which lists equipment codes alongside production date and paint/trim codes.
- PIWIS/diagnostic readout — a coding-capable diagnostic tool can read the equipment codes stored in the car’s control units directly, which is also how coding tools know which hidden features are eligible to unlock.
How to Read an Equipment Code
Porsche equipment codes typically follow an X plus a two-digit number format (for example, X73 for Porsche Sport Exhaust or X76 for the Sport Chrono Package) and are shared conventions across much of Porsche’s range, not unique to the Cayenne. The exact code list and numbering for the 958’s full option set is in the PDF above — it’s the authoritative source rather than any single summarized list, since codes were revised across the 92A’s 2010–2017 production run.
Why Equipment Codes Matter for Coding
Most PCM/comfort features unlocked through coding are tied to hardware that has to already be present — coding changes a software setting, it doesn’t add a part. Knowing your equipment codes tells you in advance whether a given feature in our 958 coding guide is realistic for your specific car, before you spend time (or a specialist’s shop hours) attempting it.

FAQ
Do equipment codes differ by market or region?
Yes — some options are market-specific (certain lighting and emissions-related codes in particular), which is why the reference PDF above covers codes for all markets and regions rather than a single-market list.
Can I add a feature my Cayenne doesn’t have an equipment code for?
No — coding can only activate software features tied to hardware that’s physically installed. If your equipment code list doesn’t show the underlying option, the feature can’t be coded on regardless of what a guide says is possible on other cars.
Where exactly is the options sticker on a 958?
Most commonly in the spare-wheel well under the cargo floor, or glued inside the service booklet. If it’s missing, a specialist can still retrieve your full equipment list from the VIN.
