Keyless entry aka Porsche Entry & Drive System
Discussion
Why would anybody pay extra for this ? Even the configurator states :
”Keyless entry and drive: unlocking and locking of the vehicle including luggage compartment lid and engine start/stop. Note: The Porsche Entry & Drive System uses state-of-the-art technology. However, it cannot be completely ruled out that the key’s wireless encryption code is intercepted and used to open or steal the vehicle.”

Sure no system is infallable, but choosing this option seems to be about the same as leaving the door open with the keys in the ignition, along with a note saying “please steal this car”.

I suppose it’s one of the few benefits of the Porsche buying experience, i.e. having absolutely everything as an optional extra. At least then you can ‘opt out’ and stick to the old fashioned, less convenient but slightly more secure method of turning a key in the ignition.
Most other manufacturers now seem to force you to have it.
