Hi all. I'm fairly new to Porsche ownership and enjoying getting to know the car but one thing has stumped me so far. The alarm arms itself automatically after a short delay once I remove the keys from the ignition and shut both doors.
I doubt this is normal so is this an option in the settings somewhere and if so how can I disable it?

Thanks Andy

Hi Andy, yes mine does that too, you can change it in the setting but think you need a main dealer or v good Indy, the other thing it does is open the car when you just open the boot, I made this mistake a few times and left the car open...so it was good the alarm arms itself !

If you've got Sport Chrono, I think you can change this yourself in the PCM sub menus.
