Hi,

I have a 997 cabrio and it won't lock! When I click the lock button on the remote it beeps the horn twice but then the doors remain unlocked. Have tried locking it manually (doesn't work) and when I drive or stop at a junction and pull away the horn beeps twice (sooo embarrassing). Not sure what to do Porsche dealer not open til tomorrow... anyone know of a temp fix or fix? Cheers
 
Did you get the car from a main Porsche dealer Kate? Warranty? I see from the other thread that the sat nav is not working and they have rebooted the PCM.......hmmmm If you've tried all the obvious things then I guess there's no easy fix and time to get the dealer to sort it out. Your first Porsche? If so not a great start to ownership.......[&:]
 
Make sure the doors, boot and engine cover are all properly closed or open, then re-shut them in turn to verify this. Same with the roof.

Good luck.

As they have rebooted stuff it may be worth trying a resynch of the alarm - it's in the manual

Carrying out the synchronization
1. Unlock the driver's door with the key at the
door lock.
2. Open driver's door and insert the ignition key
into the ignition lock within 10 seconds to
prevent the alarm system from being
triggered.
3. With the key inserted, press and hold button 1
on the remote control for approx. 5 seconds.
The synchronization is now complete.

Button "1" is the lock/unlock
