Default Keyless Entry Questions

Sorry, search didn't really answer my question...or I didn't find the answers.

I forgot to look at the dealer, but does the Porsche Entry & Drive system have releases on all four doors? My BMW 5 has it on all 4 doors, but the 3 series has it on only the front two.

Also, how fast is the "action" on the system? On my BMW, it's fairly slow. When locking, I have soft close doors and you must wait for the door system to close, then wait a second, then lock. When opening, sometimes you have to put your hand in the handle, wait, then pull.

Newer 3 series have been much faster and I've driven other marques that unlock as fast as you can put your hand in and pull (within reason of course).

How does the system on the Cayenne stack up?

Thanks!

If you go into the programing of the comfort features, you can adjust how you want the E&D system to work. I have mine set to open all the doors. System seems to lock rather quickly on exit.

Thanks, but what I was asking is can you unlock any door from the outside but only the front.

Oh, this is for the 2013 MY.

The entry and locking isn’t as good as on my previous S550. The unlocking isn’t as fast since sometimes I make contact, pull and the door will still be locked. The button lock, like on my neighbor's Q5, is a bit lame too since it takes a firm push on a little square to lock it instead of just touching the face of the door pull. I would still get it again though since it is still more convenient than a key remote.

All four doors and the hatch have the keyless entry.

You can program the E&D to unlock all 4 doors at once, which is how mine is set. Unlocking/locking can be done from any of the 4 doors.

The default setting, IIRC, only unlocks the door you're actually touching- it's been a couple years so not 100% on this one.

I think the system works just fine. It's quick enough, never thought it was slow in my 2+ years of ownership. Won't own another DD without this feature.

Can you grab the door and pull to open? Or do you have to grab it and pause?

Seems as though there may be an issue with the above...

I have a 2012 and I can grab the door and pull and the doors will unlock immediately.

No, not a fireman.

On my 535, you cant' grab and pull. You have to put your hand inside, pause while it unlocks, then pull.

It's a simple thing but it's annoying. It's not about the lost time, but about a feature that should work well but doesn't.
