This makes sense, however, the purpose of the beep is to notify you if something is open. You won't know if you accidentally left a door or trunk popped if yours is set up this way. It's unfortunate Porsche didn't think of a different system for this; perhaps a single tone for audible lock confirmation and a double tone for something left open.

Good luck   | 
	
 
I agree with this.
