Well a little while back I posted that my alarm key fob would not activate the alarm and that I had the two blinking bars( alarm fault).

After two trips to the dealer to have new keys programmed to the car, I get the car back and low and behold, the two blinking lights are still

doing their thing!

Among the other hassles, paying for an extra key and not getting it. Waiting as they programmed the second key because the forgot about it, I was not

too happy about the alram fault. I mentioned it to the mecahnic (Porsche mech. mind you), and at first he said maybe the glovebox or center console was

the culprit. OMG! I told the Service mgr. that when I first took the car in!

To make things worse, after dinking around with his laptop trying to see what was up, he then told me(don't take a drink of anything please)...........

That the two blinking lights were NORMAL!!!

I decided to make haste away from the Dealer before I said something Bohemian, and I figure I will order the Durametric software and try fixing it myself.

Now a couple of questions for the Forum, will I do anything to the alarm system by not taking care of the alarm fault ASAP??

Secondly, this is for my wife's benefit, the only thing that should be blinking on a correctly functioning alarm should be the single LED on tthe little center

bump correct??

Thanks for reading my rant.
