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.

You have to remove the console - or part remove it - to access the switch...handy as I was changing the centre console for a colour coded one at the same time.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

I just put in GT3 seats a few weeks ago and I must admit that I'm pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they are. I knew that the support and snug fit would be great when driving aggresively, but didn't anticipate that they would be as comfortable as they are just crusing down the road.
Dharn55, here's a copy of someone else's post that explains it - works great!
"The advice from my Porsche Tech mate was to modify the microswitch for the centre console storage thingy so the car sees it as being open, when it's not.
To do this you have to either bend the thin metal actuating arm out of the way, or cut it off completely - what I did.
If you unplug it, the car is smart enough to think it's a broken sensor and ignore it...giving no bleep/honk.
By leaving the switch plugged into the loom, the car thinks the switch is there and working OK, but the lid of the storage bin is open. Even when it isn't.
This works on my car...and gives a honk from the horn about 4 seconds after remotely locking with the key.
You have to remove the console - or part remove it - to access the switch...handy as I was changing the centre console for a colour coded one at the same time.
According to the Porsche Tech, this method has no adverse effects on the alarm operation, other than not letting you know if something else is not closed properly."
I was struggling with BK lowering mounts earlier today. How did you remove the torx sockets/bolts at the back of the seat rails? I'm using a T-40 bit, and it just doesn't want to come out quietly...
NNH, if they're the ones I'm thinking of the stuggle is getting into such a tight fit. If you can post a pic of the ones you're talking about I'll let you know for sure what I did...
Thanks. I've tried something similar, but the weak link is the "screw" itself which is liable to get chewed up on mine - the seats are a few years old so I guess that's the problem. I'll have a go with some freeze-spray tonight.
