Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
Any 996 owners out there not realise that by setting your seat settings with the gearstick in reverse allows the passenger mirror to dip when you reverse (Good to see where the kerb is in relation to your alloy).

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 1Original post

It's not automatic,but if you keep you finger pressing on the key fob button it will shut any opening windows / sunroof.You can use this to leave them slightly open for air on a summers day if you wish. I had full auto mode on a 3.2 carrera,the porsche alarm had a seperate switch on the consule that would enable this.i beleive this was dealer fitted.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So if you keep the button pressed it shuts any open windows?

POST 3Original post

Yes clubsport is spot on, you simply keep the remote control pressed down & the windows + sunroof will close untill you release the control. You can also have the alarm programmed in different ways (by your OPC) so that the doors automatically lock when you insert the key, go over 5mph etc. helpful in these sad days of carjacking.

POST 4Original post

Come on guys RTFM. Any 996 owners out there not realise that by setting your seat settings with the gearstick in reverse allows the passenger mirror to dip when you reverse (Good to see where the kerb is in relation to your alloy). DAZ

POST 5Original post

so thats why you didn't go for the sports seats Dazren...only works with the standard armchairs. >> Edited by clubsport on Thursday 13th February 13:52

POST 6Original post

No only works with full electic memory seats (standard on C4S & Turbo)!!!

POST 7Original post

Nah. Because I am built like a violent gorilla and would not fit in the buckets. DAZ

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the tip, but just went and tried it and it only works by turning the key anti clockwise and holding it. Remote just keeps the red light flashing although you can open the windows by keeping the button pressed after locking. Suppose I need the key reprogrammed. >> Edited by tifosi on Thursday 13th February 15:36

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone know, whether you can programme the stock key fob on a 996 to close windows and S/R automatically when you lock the car (remotely)?
