Is there a way to change my
987.1
's auto door locking without taking it to the dealership? I do not have
Sports Chrono
, and it's currently set up as Type 4 (see below) and would ideally like to switch it to Type 3.
Also, which other things can be changed? I'd like it to honk when locking/unlocking. Even better if it honks once for locking, twice for unlocking. (It currently honks once for locking, but only if the trunk or frunk are opened).
Pinging this thread, any updates?
You have a couple of options.
1. You can get a Durametric cable and program the auto lock behavior at home. You can code a bunch of other stuff too. I wasn't able to code the beep when locking the doors though. (

)
2. You can get a Mods4cars module that can control the auto locking, windows, top, horn, etc. (

From looking at their website, it seems like I'd need the "professional" kit to do this, is this correct?
I have the
Foxwell NT510 Elite
(programmed for
Porsche
). I spent some time with it this morning in my 2007
Boxster S
and was able to find auto-lock function here (I have asked the dealer to program this for me the last 2x my car was there and they never do so I decided to get a programmer and do it myself. The
Foxwell
NT510 was $179 on
Amazon
but I think they are running a special on their website right now for $125 - maybe this doesn't have the
Porsche
download?)
From the start menu.
1.
Porsche
2. Smart VIN
3. PAS Control System
4. Coding
5. Key Settings (Key 1) there are 5 keys listed. I programmed both 1 and 2 as I am not sure what key I have. I supposed I should be able to find out.
6. Key 1 locking when speed > 5kmh
Default was inactive. Set to active with the pulldown screen.
I have found (for me at least) it's good to write down your steps and what you changed so if needed you can undo what you did. I have had to do that a few times.
Happy Driving!
I've owned my 987-1 for 12 years now and have been told and read many times that there is no horn/beep option for car locking and unlocking. The lights blink twice for locking and once for unlocking. And that supposedly is the only option.
And if you hear a beep upon locking it means either the glove box, a door, the frunk lid or the hatch are not latched closed.
I hate to revive a dead thread, but I just wanted to point out that this worked perfectly in my
987.2 Cayman
and
997.2
C2S Cab!
I have a
Foxwell NT530
, and followed the instructions that
@Roosty
gave. Gotta love it!
Why isn't this just a thing automatically at the factory like every other car brand?
Your dash should display which key you've inserted when you do insert it in the ignition.
Revival but never too late for thanks. I have a
987.1
with an
NT530
updated this week worked perfectly
Same here. These instructions worked flawlessly on my
987.2
Boxster
.
