OP, I've never seen that happen... hopefully it was a one-off thing related to the detailing and won't happen again. I wonder if they used a buffer and caused a problem with static buildup somehow?

Sidvicious7 Thanks for posting the Diagram. The proximity sensor is item # 24.
The behavior of mine has changed so I am going to wait and see what develops.
Clearly the best location to touch is just below the lid edge and the center of the car.

Yes the tech said he had never heard of this before as well.
In fact when I was collecting the car the sales person (very helpful in every way) walked to the car put his hand on the lid below the badge and nothing happened so he pushed the **** on the fob to open. I did not say anything and assumed it is a feature that I did not buy.
This is an inconvenience and more than likely will need a replacement proximity sensor or whatever it is called.
My concern is what does it take to get to it. If it means taking the bumper etc. off I will probably pass and leave it as is.
What I hate about newer cars is lack of availability of workshop manuals to the consumer.

sounds like that may be the sensor and it must be under the hood, at the finger latch. This is different technology than the motion sensor in MB. As with previous porsche most of their alarm, entry systems, etc are very tempermental. Dont know if it would make any difference but you may try shielding it with some foil and see what effect it has

Needsdecaf, it is not a pressure switch so what else would trigger it to open when water is directed at the location?
The key or the key fob generates radio waves as far as I know. The battery in them gets weak and the range decreases.
