Dealer Programmable Features

That's not automatic though. In order for it to be automatic, he would have to train his passenger to "push rocker on dash" when he starts driving.
Seriously, I have the auto lock thing and like somebody else said, my passengers (ones not familiar w/ German cars) don't get it. I swear one passenger kept tugging and tugging that I swear he was going to break the handle off.

Automatic door locking-
Your authorized Porsche dealer can program
diverse types of automatic door locking in the
control unit of the central locking system:
Type 1
Doors lock automatically when the ignition is
switched on.
Type 2
Doors lock automatically when a speed of 3 - 6
mph (5 - 10 km/h) is exceeded.
Type 3
Doors lock automatically when the ignition is
switched on. If doors are opened with the engine
running, they lock again automatically when
a speed of 3 - 6 mph (5 - 10 km/h) is exceeded.
Type 4
The doors do not lock automatically.
Note:
Automatically locked doors can be unlocked with
the central locking button or opened by pulling
on the inside door handle twice

This way, I don't spend $150 or whatever the dealer wants to charge for ONE thing. I might as well give them a list of programmable stuff. You agree?
OR, if there's enough content/features for me to play around with, I might just buy the damn Pro Durametric so I can go nuts.
To give you an example, on the Audi:
Horn sounds when arming
Lights flash when arming
Window control with remote = Windows open and windows/roof close only when remote button is pressed for several seconds.
1 touch unlock of all 4 doors
Safety Central Locking - 1 press of unlock opens drivers door, 2nd press opens rest of doors and trunk
Auto lock/unlock of doors (Doors lock at 15 mph and unlock when key is removed)
ETC....
So what I'm looking for is the same list as above for the Porsche.
Anyone?

seriously... have you asked the dealer?
and my guess is that if all you want is one thing.... a little smooth talking the service manager (and maybe a reach around) i bet he would do it for free....

How can I know if I only want ONE thing if I don't know what the entire list looks like?

Are you sure? I have it now and it's a PITA. Every time I have a passenger in the car, we come to a stop and park, while I'm turning everything off/etc., they grab the handle to get out before I can "unlock" the doors and no workie, they can't get out. Then they look at me with this confused "why doesn't your door handle work" look. Okay, pull the handle twice, but still ..... a PITA! Okay, I'm done with the rant.

Well I checked everything today - the radio is grounded, everything locks, the alarm light flashes at the correct rate. I'm wondering now if it is possible that the guy that owned the car before me (Vegas) had the alarm programmed already to beep the horn when locked with the fob?? It beeps twice and all the lights flash flash with it.
The other weird thing is I read that if your sunroof is open and you lock the doors the sunroof is supposed to slide closed, which mine doesn't. Can anyone confirm this or should I have laid off the Southern Comfort and Orange juice a bit earlier when reading the manual??
