my boxster horn beeps twice when unlocking

I know if beeps when you Lock then something's open,

but what about the double horn when unlocking?!

any ideas what would cause that?

Normal I believe. Double beep on lock is cause for concern but unlock is normal.

i've seen this posted a few times, and so far i don't know if anyone has figured out what is happening. i can tell you my 2001 does NOT beep when unlocking. only when locking and something is wrong.

Same here with my 2000 S.

My box does not beep at all and I wish it would. Is this programmable?

no this is not normal.

it's something that has only started to happen recently, in the last couple of weeks.
owned the car 8 months.

and, it's not consistent, does most of the time now, but not all.

A double beep means there is a fault in the locking system. It could something as simple as a defective position sensor in a door lock. You will need to read out the fault codes. A Durametric can do this. In my case, the codes pointed me in the right direction, but didn't reveal the exact broken part.
