goofy interior light behavior

I have a new-to-me 2000 Boxster base. The forum knowledge has been invaluable as I get to know my first Porsche.

The interior lights only come on when the key is turned. Searching the forum it appears that the cause is due to the car being in "Transport" mode. A scenario only a Porsche scan tool can remedy. The car was sitting for ~5 years and most likely the battery died so it seems possible that the car could have slipped back in "Transport" mode. It did not bother me until I installed a radio and the 12V apparently is interrupted since the radio memory is gone every time the car is turned off. I assume the two issues are related.

So, I take the boxster to the local indy and they tell me it is already out of "Transport" mode. My issue for the lights is due to central locking system errors. They can not explain the radio 12V issue.

Reading the error codes from my Autel DiagLink tool:
60 Central locking limit position Lock not reached
47 Control locking synchronization
61 Central locking limit position Unlock not reached

Is it possible that the interior light behavior is due to the central locking system errors?

Is the 12V radio issue related? (I can always re-wire to the 12V on the mobile connector in the console)

Did I waste my money on an indy mechanic that really does not have a Porsche scan tool?

Removing the door panels and inspecting the door lock mechanisms is in my near future.
