no beep - stealth mode

 

Mine beeps when the hatch is open and I lock the car

 

Just read that if you touch the proximity monitor on the handle once to lock it should beep twice . If for some reason you touch it twice consecutively, it locks but may or may not beep. Two "touches " on the door handle are for locking the car with people or pets still in the vehicle .

Maybe you pushed twice ?

Mine does the same. I have no explanation for it. I wouldn't normally mind it, but it doesn't give me that reassurance that the car is actually locked.

 

Me too. Sometimes no beep, so I re-open door and try again until I get a beep. However, always get a beep when I use the fob to lock it. Sigh.

 

I'm having the same thing happen but as @WHT TGR said I must be touching the door handle more than once I seem to have a hard time finding the sweet spot on the handle for locking

Same here...

 

Is this for keyless entry?

 

Yes!

 

You have flipped the alarm-on and the alarm-off states.

You can also change the state back by pressing the button by the drivers door pillar.

The manual is a bit vague in this area. It also seams that locking with the key either one or two quick clicks (think it is two) also flips the state, so if the alarm was on (two chirps) the alarm now remains off until you press the driver side button again. Need to double check...

Still haven't figured out the reason behind the random double beeping.

First I thought it was because windows weren't fully closed or the doors weren't completely shut. Nope.

I hate this because as I'm walking away from my vehicle i don't hear the double beeps and i'm there standing like a jackass trying to lock the car. And the range on this remote is like the shortest i've ever seen in any car.

 

My Cayman does this from time to time.....

 

Along with beeps that are or aren't there, has anyone else noticed that the cadence of the beeps can vary?

Sometimes it's a very brisk "chirp-chirp", other times it's more of a "chirp-pause-chirp"... not always the same. Just another of the many features that make it unique...

 

Sometime birds get tired too

Mine too. I don't really think about it. I just check to see the red light is flashing on the door sill.

 

I've had mine in three times for that issue; the overhead console was replaced and also the door handle. Still have the problem although the door handle was defective from the factory and the sensor was far off to the right instead of being located in the indent where Porsche intended it to be.

 

Like @WHT TGR says, you are inadvertently "double-tapping and activating the door lock without the Alarm.

@Albert Kim @ejvette @hw128 You guys are making this too hard on yourselves trying to find the "sweet spot". DON'T put your fingers inside the handle at all. Just touch the outside of the handle with the back of your hand. That ALWAYS works for me.

 

I too have the same issue. I know I am not touching the handle twice but what seems to be the case is you must touch the indent in the handle only. If you touch the handle other than the direct sensor location the car will lock but no audio beep will happen. Frustrating as you are not sure the car is armed.

FWIW, the URL from above creates a new tab and then...

 

Oops, try it now. One letter got cut off ? That date is the late Dec, 2018 so if your build is after this date, it might be OK but if before, chances are it might not have been done.

 

mo' betta'

Thx!
