moonshine Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I can’t help feel the my parking sensors are not quite right - just started this afternoon - they are working front and back ok, but the beeping sound seems slightly quiet / muted/ muffled and and the constant tone when close to something is ‘fluffy’ in sound as opposed to being crisp before . Ny suggestions? Is there a spend above the cluster in the dash? its not water ingress (despite the torrential rain this weekend in Scotland) - the car was. Under a half cover and i cleared the drains a month or so ago - and hte carpets and floor pan are dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 And you haven't just adjusted the setting to quiet ? The speaker I think but not certain is located near the instrument cluster but not certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speaker I think but not certain is located near the instrument cluster but not certain. Definitely not set to quiet. It was on Medium when I noticed the issue, and I've turned up to loud and it still isn't right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Hi @Richard Hamilton any views on where the speaker is please ? Instrument panel ? Park assist module ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 As far as I know it is in the instrument cluster. There is a loudspeaker test you can do with Piwis. I expect it uses the same speaker for the tick-tick of the indicators, and the warning sounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks , Google seemed split on where it was but like you said seems to be instrument cluster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted October 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Thanks . I can’t work out if it sounds ok, or not, so I need to sit in another porsche and hear what it sounds like - there definitely seems to be sound coming from the grille above the cluster, and a look at hte parts catalogue does not show any separate speaker in this area - so it makes sense a speaker it is built into the cluster.

daz05 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 It's not built into the cluster you can buy the speaker separately, you probably need to remove the cluster to replace it, plenty of videos on YouTube covering that process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurassicBGTS Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 The grill pops out really easily for you to check the speaker. I know as I replaced yours which, like every other red interior car, had a badly faded grill which bugged my OCD😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted October 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 This video at 3.45 and 4.30 shows the speaker in the back of the instrument cluster 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurassicBGTS Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Wouldn't this be a warranty claim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not certain it is bad. I need to hear itt compared to another car to compare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
