beep-beep - why is my car beeping at me?
'01 Box S

is it something to do with the central locking button on the dash? Sometimes it's on, but I don't know why. I don't understand the quirks of the Porsche 'user-interface' sometimes....

I lock my car with the remote, and things look fine. Sometimes it's with the top down, sometimes it's with the top up and latched in place. Both trunks are closed and latched properly. The armrest cubby is closed, (but not locked).

I come back to my car, and unlock it with the remote, and sometimes it beeps at me, then unlocks. Don't think anyone's messed with the car.

I'm driving, and sometimes I notice that the red light by the 'center locking button' is on. I press it to try to get the light to go away, but sometimes the car will beep at me again.....

What am I missing? or is something broken?

Thanks,
Peter

PS. Also had a minor problem with the passenger side window not dropping the 1/2" or so when openning the passenger side door.. It's sitting proper right now, but I thought it might be from my kids not openning the door with enough strength when getting out.....
