I had this issue when my M531 alarm control and DME unit was replaced in my 1998 986.

The car may be in Transport Mode. Interior lights (and delay timer) also didn't work, nor did some electrical features.

Dealer had to use their PIWIS to turn this mode off. This mode is used during transport from Europe so the car will drain less electrical power during long term transit. I don't think Durametric can turn this off.
