Automatic relocking
If the car is unlocked by remote control and none
of the car doors is opened within approx.
60 seconds, automatic relocking takes place.
This relocking time can be adapted to your individual
requirements (10 - 100 seconds) by an authorized
Porsche dealer

Why is it annoying? If one unlocks a car to leave it unlocked, just open a door and close it and it does not auto-relock.
Auto-relock is a feature for those instances when someone accidentally unlocks a car and walks away unknowingly in a parking lot.

It should be an option, not only to change the delay, but also the ability to turn it off completely. Just like some people would rather not have the seat belt reminder.
Yes it is annoying. If you are not close enough to your car to open the door... then yeah, it is annoying.
If you like it, good for you. But, I find it very annoying.

I'm indifferent to it. Of the last four cars I've owned, they all do this. It's a safety item and it's just the new norm. Sorry to those that find it annoying and I respect that, but for me, after 90 +/- seconds, I'm not getting in my car. It's a simple fix to just wait until I am close to the car to unlock it.

Yes, I have known about this function since my 996 ownership days and I like it. I like not having to use separate lock & unlock buttons as there is no need for separate buttons. If the car is locked and you press the lock/unlock button, it unlocks the car. If it is unlocked and you press the button, it will lock the car. It is really a very simple and functional design.
Also with on less button, the key is lighter, which makes the car go faster!
