I didn’t get a definitive answer (classic Porsche shrug of the shoulders), but the Vodafone folks said they had an increase in people calling for help with the same immobiliser I have - some of these are faulty and those that are, won’t start in transport mode until the 10hr window resets.

When the “transport mode” setting expired (after ten hours), it was back to normal as if nothing had happened. The issue was it went through two 10hr brick cycles with a window to disembark the car at Portsmouth of 1.5hr, hence it had three return trips to France. It’s off the ship now, thankfully.

This was exactly the problem. You inadvertently brick the car with the Porsche app using transport mode and neither you nor Vodafone nor Porsche can communicate with the car to do anything about it because there’s no signal at sea or deep in the bowels of a ferry. You have to just sit it out...

Nope, my transport setting expired and the car was fine to drive. I got an alarm notification a few hours later on a return ferry crossing, hit snooze notifications and that put it in a new ten hour brick mode cycle. That meant the recovery team couldn’t start it when it docked at port. The car...

Nope, hoping to drive it off the ferry when it arrives tomorrow morning for the third time into Portsmouth). If not, then AA truck on standby.

Thanks for the help everyone. Having spent all day on the phone to Vodafone and Porsche Assist I think this is what’s happened - hopefully helpful for others if this comes up again. Porsche have designed and installed a floored tracker in certain models. Mine is the MBB tracker. If you put...

Hi, looking to see if anyone has had this issue before please? I activated transport mode to turn the alarm off on a ferry and it still has two hours to run until the mode reverts to normal. The car won’t start to get off the ferry and I wonder if they are related? The app won’t deactivate the...

Similarly, a turbo S passed me on the street this morning making the exact same squeaking noise as my CT 4s at low speeds.
