Another newbie, another question...

All,

Thanks for the great responses! Just got back from my local Porsche dealer, got some additional info. Just in case this helps anyone else.

The key issue (unlocking door with key doesn't disarm alarm, must put key in ignition) is normal behavior.

The "five beep" issue if more than likely a security feature of the aftermarket radio that was installed. Sounds right to me 'cause the beeps sound an awful lot like the beep you hear when changing radio functions.

Good news is he says it has a very clean warranty history, only a few minor things. The "biggest" thing was the dreaded RME, which was replaced on mine. Personally I view this as a good thing 'cause hopefully I won't have to go through this now.

Thanks again to all!
