remote locking key

[Billb]

So I've had the Boxster a month and am discovering new stuff every day. I seem to be able to lock the car with the remote fob in two ways- the manual only decribes one.
First, if I hit the lock button once, the car locks and the indicators flash twice.
Second, if I hit the lock button twice in quick succession, the car locks, the indicators flash one long flash and the horn beeps.

What's the difference?.

Dont know, but i also heard if you put the key in the door and turn it to open the door and hold it in that posistion for a few seconds that the windows will open.

the window thing does work, i seem to use it on daily bases, every time i get outta the car im like damn, window open again, turn and hold, and they go up.
on my GFs w203 it does the same thing, but 4 windows and sunroof.

btw, the double locking thing works for me as well, but no horn....
anyone know how to get the horn to beep as well?
thx

Whats the double locking thing do exactly? Pressing the lock button once, locks both my doors anyways.

I'm not positive, but I think I read somewhere that if you hit your remote twice quickly it turns off the motion detector inside the car... so if you want to lock in a passenger or a pet for a quick run into the store, they won't set off the alarm with the top up.

You are correct, my '99 manual states the following: "If a person or animal remains in the car while it is locked, the infrared passenger compartment monitoring system must be switched off.
To do this, quickly lock car twice using either the key or remote control.
