I, too, would prefer a second button for locking as well as a confirmational "chirp".

Nevertheless if you press the button twice, unsure if it locked the first time, nothing is lost. If you lock then unlock it, but don't open the doors, they will automatically lock after 60 sec (default) adjustable to between 10 and 100 sec (by dealer).

What I miss most, though, is the automatic locking when you drive away. I don't have the sport chrono option and forgot to tell the dealer to reprogram the logic this way.

Hell, I live in Marin, CA - you need a flag to pick out your Porsche in the parking lot, there are so many. Figures that our other car is a Mercedes E series - again find yours in the parking lot.

There needs to be a button on the remote that sends a signal flare up to identify your car.

I can see it now -- personalized ring tones and downloadable melodies for your alarm system.

What I really want is a sexier voice for my Nav system. Brigit, as I have named her, seems nice, but is lacking in personality.

Then we can tie nav voice with locking and unlocking...
"oh baby... I'll miss you!" when locked.
"I am ready for you" when unlocked for single guys and "Where have you been?" for the married ones.

Glad I am not the only one who wants the car/ girlfriend/wife to do this!

Actually you can set your Cayenne to provide both a 2 flash visual indicator of command acceptance and a half honk (sounds more like a quack) upon locking via the keyfob. All of my Cayenne loaners were configured this way by the dealer.

Mine beeps when I lock it. It didn't before I brought it in for my first service but now it does.

It's actually not a beep, as in a computer beep, but a light tap of the horn to warn you that something didn't close properly.

I disagree. I hate having to determine which botton is which in my other cars when it's dark out. With the 911 it's easy, the button at the pointy end. And when the locks go "ka-thunk" the car is locked.

Now, repeat after me:

One flash = "HI."

Two flash = "BYE BYE."

See, the car can talk. Isn't that cool? It says "hi" and "bye bye."

Hey that's a pretty cool way to put it. ... Guess you could call that a form of sign language.
