Morse-code like electronic clicking from console

[kfreytag]

Has anyone experienced this? The console periodically starts clicking randomly. This happens roughly once in 20 times I drive the car. The tone is identical to tapping the passenger display, and I can get it to stop briefly by putting the car in Park or invoking "Hey, Siri" or "Hey, Porsche". As soon as I put it in gear (or Siri / Porsche finish), it returns. Local dealer had the car for three weeks and couldn't replicate, so couldn't diagnose.

Very odd - it almost seems to be mimicking the changes in speed with the speed indicator itself slightly lagging the noise - rapid clicking corresponding fairly well to jumps from say 1 to 5 etc.! Why that is happening I have no idea and fairly sure there is not an option to have the speedometer click like the keyboard on a smartphone !! But maybe something to do with the electronics in the Dash and specific to the speedometer? Def a new one!

@ciaranob - it does seem, in that video, like it's related to speed. In reality, it's not. When I start driving, it will start very intermittently and then get persistent (if not regular). it's both baffling and very annoying. Even stopping the car, shutting everything off, and restarting has no impact. If it's gonna click, it's gonna click. I can't find any way to get it to start or any way to get it to stop.

Incredibly annoying - the dealership has to fix this as it is clearly an issue with the dash or related components - not acceptable to say they can't resolve it imo i.e. if they cannot isolate and fix a specific sub-component then they can at least agree on where it is happening and for example replace the dash console despite the added expense - realize dealership won't like that idea but they have to step up. There are all sorts of tools they can use to isolate the sound quite precisely so again if done and a known location, replacing that part is the way forward.

You also seem to have a cat stuck in your motor
