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

Can anyone help me solve a rather irritating question. When I start my car, the dashboard (or so I think it is) emits firstly five quick beeps in succession, followed by three slower beeps. Or is it the other way round? Or does it sometimes only emit three slower beeps or only five faster beeps? Am I going mad? I can't find the answer in the drivers manual. I'm currently assuming it has something to do with the NavTrak system fitted to the car, but why three beeps then five? Or five beeps then three? Aarrrgghh! Somebody please put me out of my insanity!

Where have all the 996 drivers gone? [ ]

POST 3Original post

Richard Hamilton has had an eye operation... the rest are probably in the garaged waiting for the rain to stop [ ]

POST 4Original post

Which Navtrack product do you have? With the ADR system, 5 rapid beeps means the onboard system has not picked up the transponder chip in the card you should have. That takes about 15 seconds while it looks for the transponder. If it cannot find it, the system should send an SMS to Navtrack who should then call you to query if your car is ok. The 3 slower beeps indicate it has picked up the transponder, which will cancel the alert to Navtrack. If you are getting 5 fast then 3 slow, sounds like your transponder cards need replacing, the batteries last 9-12 months. Call Navtrack on 08700 12 24 24 and ask for some new cards.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ahh, that would be it then. I've had two new cards despatched just last week, although it still does five fast ones then three slow ones soon after with the new ones. I must be the way it works. Thanks rjn.

I wish the sun would come out again - I've run out of excuses as to why I'm not turning up for work! [ ]
