Does the tracker system report movement without the engine running anyway?

This means I can't use the MyPorsche app to deactivate the PVTS tracker as it's limited to a 10 hour window.

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

Taking my Cayenne on a ferry shortly which lasts more than 10 hours. This means I can't use the MyPorsche app to deactivate the PVTS tracker as it's limited to a 10 hour window. As the chances of the car being stolen whilst on the ferry are zero, can I just leave the fob in the car? Does the tracker system report movement without the engine running anyway? I'll be trying to call vodafone anyway, but last time I tried that the call waiting time was so long I would have been sailing away before reaching them .... they said I had to advise them just before needing the system deactivating!

POST 2Original post

Yes the tracker still works if engine off on a ferry (or at least mine did last year) - didn't help that the alarm went off on both legs of the journey Vodafone Tracker called each time and I just notified them of travel plans - all sorted

I "think" I understand how to turn off the movement sensor on the main alarm ......

POST 4Original post

Maybe that was the mistake - took fob with me

POST 5Original post

Just arrived from a ferry journey. Leave fob in car or activate another 10 hours when they call. No drama.

POST 6Original post

You can disable the tracker for a set period of time via the app - saves countless false alarm calls .

POST 7Original post

You press the lock button and then press it again within 2 seconds to turn off the motion sensor and tilt sensor on the alarm for transporting the car or for when you leave dogs/kids in the car.

POST 8Original post

Disable the vehicle motion sensor and call the tracker company to let them know you’re on the ferry and to disable it for 12hrs.
