parking sensors get too excited

[Crispystork]

981 boxster.. got the front and rear sensors (graphics display, not camera). Sometimes they just go off randomly when i'm driving. There's nothing in front of me. Seems they are very sensitive.. anyone else have this? it's not weather related either.

I get it occasionally. I suspect it's a water drip, bug or cobweb triggering the sensor. It should only happen in first gear or reverse if that's the case, if it's triggering at other times there may be more of an issue.

Nah it's only in first gear.. i.e. when sat at traffic lights.. it just goes crazy for a few seconds then stops.. maybe i have bugs :O

They can go off with sun glare, give them a good clean.
I believe the sensitivity can be calibrated via the Porsche Diags tool.

My 991.2 GTS does the same thing.
