IMHO having the car beep when armed is so comforting... no more second guessing whether it's locked or not. Didn't realize how much I missed that feature(normal with all my other vehicles) until I activated it for the Porsche... I don't understand why Porsche would ship our cars from the factory with this feature turned off. Perhaps it presents another opportunity for the p-dealer to $ervice our cars and get to know the customer$ better.

Slicky, you go me there... another forum member was kind enough to loan me his DM Pro tool over a weekend. I rushed thru it and did not document my steps. Perhaps someone with a Pro tool would be willing to document some of the features for us. If/when I get my hands on my own Pro tool... I'll likely spend a month going thru all of it's capabilities and doing a few DIY's alone the way this time.

Going to buy one of these soon as I will take at it with being more hands on with my car and try to do some oil changes and basic services which need the tool for reset. - Your post about changing oil while waiting for a conference call was my motivator btw

Not sure what they turned off - assuming you have a 997, there is no beep on arming unless you have an aftermarket device like RemoteKey installed or if there is a fault when you're arming such as the hood being open or the glove box open.

KS-CS of Planet 9 forum has put together an excellent tutorial on Durametric (basic and advanced). It's a great way to start really understanding some of the capabilities.
I hope it is ok to post the link to his stuff, but if it gets scrubbed go visit Planet-9.com.

If usmc was able to do it and it has been claimed that it has been turned off at a dealer then i could be done with standard computer. Maybe we can clarify with durametric, for those who have the pro unit, if it really could be done. They would know wouldn't they? I think being able to activate this feature already pays for the dt instead of buying the remotekey. Thanks for the idea eric, but for me the dt will be of more use if it can do this.

i have a pro and have tried to find an answer but from all the research i've done so far (for the .1, anyway), it seems the only way to do this is to install the "remotekey" or whatever that mod is called. i dont even think PIWIS can do it. but anyone ever finds out otherwise, please let us know!
VG, I'll be in the bay area next week if you'd like some help with that oil change...

Well... here's an idea. Per my vid the alarm system on my '08 C2S is obviously beep enabled after using the DM Pro tool. I just can't remember the exact steps to get there... I went thru one too many screens. Having a DM Pro tool on hand may jog my memory. So I'm willing to spend some time with a DM Pro in an attempt to recreate what I did previously and then document the procedure for the group if someone is willing to loan me their Pro tool over a weekend. I would have to undue(reserve engineer) my current "peep enabled" alarm system and then re-enable it afterwards. Send me a PM if you're interested.
