Can the motion detector be bypassed?
 

Hi There,

Wondering if there is a way to bypass the motion detectors in the car's alarm system. I have a dog who travels with me and if I slip into the store and he is in the car, he sets the alarm off.

I want to be able to lock the car with some of the alarm features being active.

At a bar minimum I would like to at least lock the car.

Maybe tape over the motion sensor "eyes" with black electrical tape?

That should allow you to lock the car - and the car wouldn't detect movement (like your dog) in the interior.

(those are the alien eye looking things above the rear view mirror)

Just spit-balling here...

Look in the manual, but off the top of my head yes if you press lock twice?

that's right. Press twice, get a beep and no alarm

RTFM!

I learned that the first time my suction mount fell off and triggered the alarm and I wasn't near the car... Fun times :)

So when the fob is pressed 2 times the whole alarm is disabled or just the motion?

The first time it happened I went into a store for quite a bit and over the PA comes - "There is a Blue Porsher Boxxer whos alarm is going off and a dog frantically bouncing from seat to seat. Can the owner please head out and take care of the issue".

My manual is a printed version that the previous owner had - not sure it is even for the correct year - I will be calling Porshe to get the proper one tomorrow.

Did google this and found all sorts of different discriptions.

Maybe I will just ask Porsche when I order the manual.

Thanks for everything - This forum rocks as usual

Mine doesn't even have a factory alarm, so I may be wrong... but from what I've read, if you press the lock button twice within 1 second it goes into a secondary lock mode, where the alarm is not enabled and central locking is on but the inner door handles are still operational.

Yup, that's it

Thanks everyone. My dog appreciates the help you all gave his human
