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.

It's not a serious issue compared to recent threads, but...
When I use the remote to lock the car, the horn honks (even though I only pressed the remote once). I thought a horn honk indicates the motion sensor is turned off?
Do I need to reset the alarm or something?
It is indicating something is not closed completely. If you leave the armrest storage open it will hink. If you leave the trunk unlatched it will honk. If a door is not latched fully it will honk. If all items are latched then it is possible one of the latch sensors is faulty. Another thing comes to mind is if you recently upgraded to a non Porsche radio. The factory radio is connected to the alarm and will sense if it has been removed.

Ah ha! Good thinking. That's probably it. So the damned horn will honk all the time now? Does that mean the motion sensor is not working, or is that a different kind of honk (after hitting the remote button twice)?
It's the radio, there is a wire that needs to be grounded that will stop it. I did it in my car after i swapped the Nav in, There is a writeup over on Renntech. The wire is brown if I remember correctly.
The hink is a honk your brain normally doesn't register fully. This can easily be heard when the first honk of the alarm warning signal goes off while you are concentrating on walking away from the car. Your first thought is huh my car is doing mating calls to other porsches getting all horny? Thus the combination of honk and kinky was turned into hink. The term hinky is reserved for a porsche goosing another car during a race.
