So there must be a "setting" somewhere to turn that feature on/off.
Leading evidence: 'Set " somewhere' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Set " somewhere' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Not that I test this when moving but you never know when curious button pushers wanna test the cars safety features.
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.

It's becoming increasingly frustrating to witness passengers almost ripping off the inside door handle because of not knowing to pull the handle twice in order for it to open. Can this silly feature be switched off via Durametic cable?
1st pull UNLOCKS door(s). 2nd pull opens. Only way to change is to turn off automatic door locks. Or you could hit the Unlock All little button in the top centre of your console before they go to pull on the handle.
I believe you can program this yourself if you have
PCM
, although might also require you to have
Sports Chrono
to get to the Individual settings.
my doors don't automatically lock when I'm in the car (I'm the 2nd owner). If I want them locked, I MUST push the center button. So there must be a "setting" somewhere to turn that feature on/off.
My car originally had the one pull to open feature because the door did not lock on its own and I kept it unlocked usually. As a safety measure I had them reprogram it so it locks on start-up so now it requires the two pulls to open the door. You can certainly have it go back to the one pull (i.e no lock on start up or at a certain mph) or just remember to unlock the doors (with the dash button) as you're ready to exit the vehicle. I hate when I have to open my doors now for some reason after it is started, forget it is unlocked, and then pull twice to open when it only needs one pull!
I think it would be great if you could have the doors locked and be able to open from the inside with only one pull...
My doors do not automaticaly lock on start up or at acertain speed. But if I lock the doors by pushing the dash button, I must pull twice to open. This is a silly feature.
I wonder why
Porsche
is not more consistent with the features programmed on the cars when they leave the factory.
At first I was frustrated with this too. Now I like it. It avoids inadvertent opening of the doors while in motion, especially at the track. Not that I test this when moving but you never know when curious button pushers wanna test the cars safety features.
As others have said, having
PCM
and SC allows you to program when and if the door lock. But no way to program it to one pull that I'm aware of. But I have to say, this IS frustrating, I fear someone would pull the handle off one day :S
Don't all VW/
Audi
/
BMW
/Mercs operate this way? (Unlock / open with 2-pulls I mean). I know my old
Audi
door worked with two pulls if locked.
Just tell your passengers they need to own a German car! :hilarious:
I have the Wilhelmy IT RemoteKey module installed, and it allows you to program the lock
and unlock
triggers. I do not have Sport Chrono.
I have the doors set to lock at 5 mph, and unlock when the key is removed from the ignition. So unless someone is trying to open the door while the car is running, then they only have to pull once.

You gotta love the pull tab on the new

Like with my
Audi
A4... if I have passengers in the car, I simply unlock via central lock before the car comes to full stop. That way, the passenger can pull handle once and they're off.
Now, I do have a real problem when people open the door (from the outside) *before* the window has the opportunity to lower itself (at least on the
Boxster
, and most cars with frameless windows).
Trust me, when somebody has opened your door and sat it the car (whilst at traffic lights) demanding to be taken "Up the road" you for sure feel happy that they can't just open the door on your
Porsche
unexpectedly. ….!! well only if they have a gun !!
