LOL its funny how you mentioned this as i was just washing my 718 a couple of days ago and when drying the front and rear, the trunks would pop open and i would have to close them and get fingerprints over the parts i just wiped down.
The automatic trunks opening is driving me nuts(short trip). I would like to disable the auto opening trunks.
I can't get them to work unless I am trying to dry the car after washing. Then they open every time I walk
around the back or front of the car. I know smart butt, don't carry the fob. I would rather turn off the feature.
I wave all over the trunks and bumpers and it doesn't work until I don't want them to.
I thought I didn't want keyless opening! Thanks for confirming my decision.>The automatic trunks opening is driving me nuts(short trip). I would like to disable the auto opening trunks.

Just ran into this issue a few days ago? Is not having the key fob near the car the solution?The automatic trunks opening is driving me nuts(short trip). I would like to disable the auto opening trunks.

Yes, that is correct.Just ran into this issue a few days ago? Is not having the key fob near the car the solution?
Does it have anything to do with putting water on the trunk when washing or something that happens any and everytime I am near the truck with the key fob?Just ran into this issue a few days ago? Is not having the key fob near the car the solution?
No, it is just proximity. The easiest thing to do is to get a Faraday pouch and just put the fob in there while you are washing, waxing, or mucking about near the frunk or trunk with the fob in your purse or pocket. Here is one that I use.Does it have anything to do with putting water on the trunk when washing or something that happens any and everytime I am near the truck with the key fob?

Yes. 'Entry and Drive' is Porsche's nomenclature for keyless entry and start-stop, which are the generic terms for the technology.Curious, is this part of the entry and drive system?
But these are not combined systems right, the stop/start is there even without keyless entry...Yes. 'Entry and Drive' is Porsche's nomenclature for keyless entry and start-stop, which are the generic terms for the technology.
Thanks for the link and the response. Very helpful. It is annoying but not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.No, it is just proximity.

Not in this case. A car without Entry & Drive such as mine requires the fob be inserted and turned to start and stop the car engine. One cannot be optioned without the other, AFAIK, on a 718.But these are not combined systems right, the stop/start is there even without keyless entry...
Oh, by start-stop I thought that you were referring to the Auto Stop-Start for fuel and emissions reasons!Not in this case. A car without Entry & Drive such as mine requires the fob be inserted and turned to start and stop the car engine. One cannot be optioned without the other, AFAIK, on a 718.
As a counterpoint: My BMW 2 Series did not have keyless entry but did have keyless stop-start.
LOL! Yeah, I thought about that confusion -- but I had to distinguish between the 'Entry' and 'Drive' parts somehow!Oh, by start-stop I thought that you were referring to the Auto Stop-Start for fuel and emissions reasons!![]()
