Sorry, it was indeed the speed limit alert, they were set for 25mph and 50moh and I had inadvertently switched them on so they were binging and bonging all the time!

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Chaps, I've got a random chime/warning alarm going "bing-bing... bing-bing" in my 2014 981 Boxster. I've had it about 2 months now and can't say it happens all the time but this morning it was going off every few miles! There doesn't appear to be a warning light associated with it and I can't figure out what it's warning me of, not low fuel, not seat belts or doors open, I even wondered if it's when I pass from one speed limit to another on the road but it's not that. Most odd anyone got any clues?

POST 2Original post

Do you have a speed limit set in the dash menu? Can set the car to chime when you go over a certain speed

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ah it could be that. I haven't intentionally set it but there's so many settings to play with I may have done it accidentally! I'll go and look...

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sorry, it was indeed the speed limit alert, they were set for 25mph and 50moh and I had inadvertently switched them on so they were binging and bonging all the time! Off now

POST 6Original post

That reminds me of the time I was sat in the dealers and a chap was aside me collecting his car. As they completed his paperwork they informed him they'd found the annoying rattle he had brought the car in for. They then handed him his change from the ashtray.
