I replaced the ignition switch with an audi part, took about 45 minutes and some cursing.
Leading evidence: 'Replace ignition switch' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'its reverted back' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace ignition switch' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suspected cause
I suspect its reverted back to handover /delivery mode, the Carfax has 3 key reprograms in the history.

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.

my petrol door lock, inside dome lights, and inside door lights did not work as I opened the door or even when the car was running.
my car kills power to dome lights as soon as I take the key out of the ignition. Is there any way to fix this? I've read people say that it could be in delivery mode? Any way to get out of this mode? What's the point in some lights if they are shut off the second you take the key out of the Ignition. Any input is appreciated. Thanks
I have the same problem, let me know if you find an answer. I also have heard that it is in transportation mode and needs to be reprogramed by a Dealer, but I have been reluctant to bring it to the Dealer.
I have this same problem. I tried everything except going to the stealership. I have lived with it now for a year. Everything works when the key is in the ignition, until I take the key out, then none of the interior lights, frunk light, or engine lid light work. It use to bug me like crazy, now, I could care less. I am interested to see what you figure out though.
***My Indy here said transport/delivery mode didn�t come in until the 997, not sure if I believe him though***
I had some wierd electrical things going on, then one day my ignition lost its spring...
I replaced the ignition switch with an audi part, took about 45 minutes and some cursing.
Everything has been fine since.
Maybe this could be the problem??
my petrol door lock, inside dome lights, and inside door lights did not work as I opened the door or even when the car was running. The dome lights I could switch on manually at the dome but they should come on as you open the door engine running or not. I took mine to Porsche and they pulled it out of so called 'delivery mode' for $80
Great, thank you for the info. Now I'm wondering if I should take it to Porsche to have that done or if I should buy the correct cable to make the adjustment myself. We're the dome lights the only thing that changed? Did the car run any differently afterward?
There is really not much information to research on this issue. I believe Porsche engineered the "delivery or transport mode" because the cars are manufactured in Germany and will spend many months unattended in shipping and delivery to a dealer. Once they are at a dealer, the car is prepped for sale and one of the things they need to do is take the car out of delivery mode.
I also think that only a dealer can do this with the specialized Porsche software. A cable or Durametric will not check this or turn it off. Might be worth a phone call to your local dealer to inquire about getting it checked and cost.

Transit mode and sports car handover with PIWIS
https://www.renntech.org/forums/topi...#comment-75744
A quote from Tool Pants on RennTech "After all these years your car may still be in the transit mode. Interior lights do not work unless the key is turned on to save the battery during shipment. With a new car the dealer with a PST2 was to take the car out of the transit mode and put it in the handover mode."
When I get the chance I'll boot up my PIWIS and see where the setting is for you.
My last experience with the main dealership and coding an older car wasn't great. Better to go with the information at hand ill try and get some screenshots for you.
Sorry for the very late replyl
Okay so spent a bit of time going through each module, nothing under DME or Alarm that indicates "transport mode" or "energy saving mode". However I did find "Vehicle handover" under the additional menu:
Note the "Alarm system was activated" using this feature solved the problem hawlksfan#12 was having so thanks hawlksfan#12 for testing this!
It really is dependent on the dealership if you are a client of theirs it's likely they will help you out.
If not you'll most likely be stung for an hours labour, same as an indy as well.
It took my dealer tech a lot of time to navigate through the PIWIS menus to find the Vehicle handoff option. It did fix the strange interior light behavior for me.
The dealer tech was not familiar with the issue at all and I had to sit by the Tech and help him through the process. I suspect that if I was not there, he would have just given up.
On the plus side, they did not charge me for it.
I found an old thread on this:
https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...nny-story.html
Unfortunately as the 996 gets older some of the tech knowledge could be getting lost.
I have found that I have more info than the dealer on most things just from my research on here.
Always best to go in as informed as possible
Thanks! Any excuse to boot it up
I've actually spent most of the time in simulation mode, great feature for learning the tool!
Computers and Porsches are definitely my thing!
Have a issue with a new to me 997 car equipped with the Sports Chrono package however its not available in the Multi-Function Display same with the radio and Nav text, that should be there when cycling with the MFD stalk, I also don't see the Cruise control indicator on the dash.
I went into coding using the Durametric and enabled all the options I have however not working.
I suspect its reverted back to handover /delivery mode, the Carfax has 3 key reprograms in the history.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
