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

Couldn't find any comments on a search, so hopefully a new topic? My previous cars (audi/VW) have had a switch or button that turns off the motion sensor on the car alarm, to prevent it going off on 'interesting' ferry journeys. No mention of this or any other method in the Porsche handbook, so do 2009 gen 2 boxsters not have a motion sensor? If I lock the doors by using the key instead of the button, is it securing the car, but without the alarm ? (that would be good enough for a ferry). Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

When I took my Cayman on the ferry last year I just locked it with the key. This should lock it without activating the alarm.

POST 3Original post

On 981 models if you push the lock button on your key twice in succession the doors and trunks are all locked by motion sensors unactivated. This might leave the tilt sensor unactivated too. Nto sure on 987, but you could test to see if this works unless someone else has more specific advise for you.

POST 4Original post

Didn't even occur to me when I took my 981s to Europe last year. Just locked it as normal and no problems.
