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

I've had my baby for a couple of months now, and lock it with the remote whenever I park it. Just a press on the key and I hear the locks click, and the tail lights flicker for a second. Today when I locked it, the horn also sounded. Cute. Is the horn supposed to make a sound or was it just not working properly before today? What happens tomorrow when I lock it, will the top go up and down or other elctronic event occur?

POST 2Original post

I know on the 987 that if the horn honks that means you have a door ajar or one of the trunk lids is open. Just Porsche's way of protecting you from yourself.

POST 4Original post

a horn beep could also signal that your center console is not fully closed.

POST 5Original post

The glove box and center storage compartment if left unlatched will also will set the horn off .

POST 6Original post

The horn will honk when the alarm does not take for some reason. This could be do to anything that the above people have mentioned. Two flashes of the lights and no sound means the alarm is on. A long flash and a honk means no alarm. You can manually accomplish this (if you want to for some reason) by double clicking the lock button instead of just one click. (I guess if maybe you want to leave your pet in the car and you don’t want the motion detector going off??)
