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

Have a 2003 Boxster with the HiFi Sound package. According to the manual the red led is supposed to blink with ignition off, mine does not. When I turn alarm on the red led on top of the dash blinks continously but the radio led blinks for 10 seconds & shuts off. Also when changing gears sometimes the sound of the radio stops & if I accidently touch the radio face plate it messes up the lighted part. Are these problems normal or is a trip to the dealer neccessary. I do have the led for the radio turned on in the menu.

POST 2Original post

I don't think it is a problem. Mine(CDR-220) only blinks if I don't lock the car(when it is sitting in the garage). I think it has two modes. I have heard similar things about the light on the door lock switch. It will blink for 10 seconds then stop after locking the car with the remote. I believe it is the "arming" phase of the alarm.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That's the problem, if mine just sits in the garage doors unlocked the led light does not blink even though it is turned on in the menu. Asked my dealer but they did not have an answer.
