I dropped my car off at the airport and am out of country. When I landed I see my alarm keeps going off. I forgot to disable the internal alarm and it falsely keeps going off every few minutes. I can’t stop it!!! Is there a way to remotely disable the inside sensor so it won’t keep going off?

I can’t even risk unlocking and leaving it unlocked because the car auto locks itself after sitting 3 minutes and then of course the damn alarm falsely goes off again!

Has anyone a solution ? I fear someone will vandalize my car for the nuisance alarm.

Not happy in paradise.

If you purchase PVTS, you can disable the motion alarm in the My Porsche app.

They do....but then retrigger a few minutes later.

Porsche support was not helpful...after on hold 15 minutes, twice...they told me they no longer do remote assistance and I need to take it to dealer and have them replace sensor...! WTH!? I am out of country for a week.

I can say that since I stopped using the app (per suggestion above) it seems to have stopped. I didn't uninstall it as then I would never get notified it is going off. But I use the latest MyPorsche (3 days ago old) and when I "check on the car" via the app....sure enough a couple minutes later I get notified the alarm is going off.

So I am sitting here in Cancun hoping it has not been going off incessantly for a week but avoiding the app in hopes it is "working" but not triggering alarm.

Some other possible solutions:

  1. Call a friend who can retrieve your spare key, or overnight ship your key to a trusted friend to go to the airport to disable the alarm in person.
  2. Call your dealer and pay to have it towed to the dealer. Might have to call the airport parking to give permission to get it towed out of there.
