You need to pull the driver seat as well as the subframe that holds the seat before you can get to the old battery. Pretty obvious Porsche wants you to take it to one of their dealers, since the also made this whole operation more difficult by using bolts that have a proprietary 16 point star head. I used an 8mm Allen wrench, but still stripped one of the bolts. Some Cayennes also have a second battery that is mounted in the back by the spare tire. I have had nummerous problem with my Cayenne and wish I had never bought it, this battery situation is just another example of why this is a terrible car to own.
2. There are 2 screws, under two plastic plates, at the base of the driver seat, in the front of it. You need a 10 star bolt (in 12). After you pull out the screws, the driver seat wobbles to the back and release the battery....in a Cayenne S, it is a 110 A (520 Ah DIN 850A).
3. I found 8 screws total. 4 under the plastic that covers the tracks. Once you remove the seat bolts you'll need to remove the sub frame that the seat is mounted on by removing the 4 screws that hold it to the body. Lay the seat on the back seat and the battery comes right out. Since I'm a novice it took me 1.5 hours. Make sure you don't use an Allen wrench and go buy or borrow the correct tool. I wanted to thank who ever posted the orignal post. Because I probably wouldn't have been able to replace the battery on my own. I hear the dealerships charges approximately $400.00 in labor to do so.

There are 2 horns on a Cayenne, both are located behind the outer front bumper air ducts. I never changed one but the factory way is to remove the headlights/front facial. From pictures I have seen, it looks like they might be accessible by removing the inner fender-wells if you have long arms and don't mine scratches/scraps. It would save you about 2hrs. of work.
