Auto Door Locks
Once my 996 gets to about 5 mph the doors lock automatically. Is there an easy way to disable this feature, without paying a Porsche dealership?

No. You need an electronic doohickey to reprogram. It's easy to do, but I think only the dealers have the equipment.

The dealer should not be charging you for something as simple as reprograming a basic feature. Mine never has.

Yes there is...follow the instruction on how to remove the auto shut off for the exhuast and that will also disable the auto door locking at 5 mph.

Hey thanks guys, I had it turn on at the Dealer for free. Didn't know it did that.

They can also set it to different MPH. Mine locks at 3mph.

Is this the same system as they use with the Sports muffler that goes silent between 50-70 Km/h ?
