And your car is an RoW car? (I am guessing)From the GT3 Owners Manual:"The remote-control standby function switches off after 5 days
If the vehicle is not started or unlocked with the remote control within five days, the remote control standby function is switched off (to prevent discharging of the vehicle battery).
1. In this case, unlock the driver's door with the key at the door lock. Leave the door closed in order to prevent the alarm system from being triggered.
2. Press button 1 on the remote control. The remote control is now activated again."
They say this but in practice with my car it does not work. I put the key in the door and turn the lock. Immediately the alarm sounds - it sounds as soon as the doors unlock. Note: I have not opened the door at this point. I then have to race to put the key into the ignition and press the button. I'm not sure if once the alarm goes off I can turn it off without putting it into the ignition by just pressing the button. I will try next time.....But simply unlocking it and not opening it doesn't work in my case.... not sure why...

They are different alarm systems.
Mine is a UK delivered car which I know had extra alarm added to it with I think tilt and siren.
Weird.

Ah, so you say Porsche the vehicle manufacturer also wouldn't know either? Have you actually read the Porsche workshop manual? Nup, I don't think so because if you did then I believe you missed section 19-3 where it specifically states after filling at idle, seal the system, run till at operating temp, force fans on, unseal system, continue to top-up while running engine at 2500rpm, "Every 30 seconds, briefly rev the engine to 5000rpm. RPM Surges are IMPORTANT FOR PROPER BLEEDING.
I'm all for advice, but factual and correct, no incorrect and misleading.
