I dn't know if the 997 has the seat memory buttons in the same place as the 996, but here's an interesting problem I found in the 996. If you get dirt in the memory buttons, the hood can pop all on its own. The engine cover can also pop, and the alarm system can get some really strange behaviors (like locking you in the car, bepping for no reason, and more). Ask me how I know...

Hahaha...this is so funny. I figured this one out, but it took me 4 weeks to figure it out. I thought maybe it was an electrical short, but nope. It's definitely the key. It even pops the hood from my office, a good 250 feet away from the car.
On a funny note (and serious..??), somebody has come up with a solution for this problem.
A little pricey...

BTW, I think Porsche should put a button on the key to open the Cab top.
