Today I parked at TJ's with one on and set the alarm, when I came out I set three bags in the front passenger side, forgetting to turn the alarm off, and nothing happened.

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.
20 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

This was my first (of many to come) summers with my boxster. Just found out about this piece and "cheating" the motion detectors so I can leave the top down. Has anyone used it and how good do you think it works? I find a short delay, don't leave a bag where it can be picked up but it will still set it off.
You can also get the same result by sticking your finger in to push the switch while turning off the car
I do have the red clip as well
The delay is built into the alarm system
I've been using one for several years and they are iffy. Today I parked at TJ's with one on and set the alarm, when I came out I set three bags in the front passenger side, forgetting to turn the alarm off, and nothing happened. As a rule I don't leave anything in the car with the top down that can be taken. Anything valuable is locked in the console.
you can also get them at TC's Garage
Only $ 6.25

They are really great people to deal with.
They also give additional discounts to PCA members
They can get you virtually any part you need, even if it is not on their website
Can someone explain what this is for? I guess on the rare occasions that I leave the top down on an errand, I don't lock the car. (nothing left visible in the cabin)
It tricks the car into thinking the top is closed. Which in turn activates the motion sensor in the car. If the car thinks the top is open or the center console is open, the motion sensor is deactivated.
It is (I believe) to lock the top so you can't open it if you have the roof transport system installed with the top down. As a benefit you get the motion detector enabled since the car thinks the top is up.
Lately I have not been enabling my alarm since I had it go off one time when my phone mount fell.off the windshield while the car was parked causing the alarm to go off
It was also provided with the speedster humps. You wouldn't want to operate the top accidentally with those in place. I read somewhere that coloring it red helped the driver remember not to try it.
So are you saying that if the red clip is in place but the center console isn't locked the motion sensor doesn't function? (I would test this myself but I've---temporarily?---misplaced my clip.)
