Default FOB Light Blinks
Car FOB is on my desk and I just saw the little red light by the unlock button blink for no reason. I have actually "thought" I saw this several times, but I just happened to be looking directly at the key this time and saw it blink. Anyone else see this happen and know why? Is it some sort of self-check? Seems to happen very randomly.

It's programmed at the factory to remind you that Porsche keys do not belong on desks.....

Oh jeez, now everyone is going to start hiding their fobs in their pockets!

I'm going to put my vote in with the "low battery" coalition.
