Chaps, I've got a random chime/warning alarm going "bing-bing... bing-bing" in my 2014 981 Boxster. I've had it about 2 months now and can't say it happens all the time but this morning it was going off every few miles! There doesn't appear to be a warning light associated with it and I can't figure out what it's warning me of, not low fuel, not seat belts or doors open, I even wondered if it's when I pass from one speed limit to another on the road but it's not that. Most odd hehe anyone got any clues?

Do you have a speed limit set in the dash menu? Can set the car to chime when you go over a certain speed

Ah it could be that. I haven't intentionally set it but there's so many settings to play with I may have done it accidentally! I'll go and look... hehe

Sorry, it was indeed the speed limit alert, they were set for 25mph and 50moh and I had inadvertently switched them on so they were binging and bonging all the time! Off now biggrin

That reminds me of the time I was sat in the dealers and a chap was aside me collecting his car. As they completed his paperwork they informed him they'd found the annoying rattle he had brought the car in for. They then handed him his change from the ashtray.
