Car makes a sound when locking and unlocking and flashs the lights. If you need it to make a noise as well get a SmartKey or SmartTop from Mods For Cars. It will allow you to have the car horn beep when you lock and unlock it.

 

So, if you have the SmartTop, could you tell if the door is ajar?

Thx.

 

That's a good question. I don't use that feature but I used it for a while when I first got the SmartTop for my 997 and I believe the sound is more pronounced/louder when locking/unlocking ( more like the regular dual tone horn sound ) than the weaker security alarm beep. If something is adjar you still get the weak security alarm beep. As it's been 5 yrs since I used that feature maybe someone who uses it regularly could confirm. If not I'll activate it and let you know what it does in both instances.

 

If i go a long time withoutdriving the car ( 2 weeks or soo) the button on the key will not open the doors or the trunk, I have to put the key in the door to open the car. Its almost as if the car goes into a hibernation mode??? Why is this happening????

 

Read you owner's manual - alarm system puts remote operation to sleep after 7 days of inactivity.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the input.
