Though they may not sell a majority of them. Does still give you a good base to work off of with visual and part # to look for.

That's great, but what is the link? I no longer see the PET when I attempt opening the page.

Another bit of useful information. For some weird reason, Porsche has fuses in A3 and A4 Marked down as only Side markers however if you ever have some issues with a taillight not working with good bulbs, check those 2 as they can be the culprit. A headlight switch can also be the reason for headlights / taillights not functioning properly.

Link provided for an AliExpress OEM Porsche PCCM / Double Din unit at a fraction of the price. Many on this forum purchased and had lots of success with this one directly, when wanting to avoid spending $1,000+ on one sold directly from Porsche.
