Default Trunk Release

Have any of you accidentally released the trunk when handling the key? I have, several times now, pulled away only to see the warning light showing the trunk is released.

Is there a way to disable the key button that opens the trunk? I use the trunk seldomly and have no problem opening the door to access the lever.

i agree-it is constantly a problem for me. if i put the keys in my pocket at work, i will frequently find my trunk open when i go outside to go home, because of any pressure on the key while in my pocket.

Porsche did make a change or two with the trunk buttons, e.g., extending the time the button has to be depressed for activation. (Stock is 2 seconds). I would imagine they can change that programming. I, too, have made the same discovery,--returning to an unsecure trunk!

I took it to my dealer and they said that the service bul. # 2/06 ENU 9662 9 that I gave them had to do with the windows being opened with the key not the trunk. They said the factory put a longer delay in the cars with newer vins than mine.

Weird, it hasn't happened once to me. But then again, mine is a garage queen, so I never would open the trunk anyway ...

Mine doesn't open by accident, but I wonder if there's a way I can tell if my car has been locked without looking and waiting for that red LED?

Default Trunk release

I too find that I'm triggering the trunk release unintentionally. Can the dealer reprogram the car to disarm the button on the key?

I just wish they had separate lock and unlock buttons.
