Planning a month vacation - 12v battery protection?

[toddinmd]

Is Porsche's Comfort Access the feature that automatically unlocks the car when you walk up to it without touching the fob? If so, the '22 992 TTS and the '19 Cayenne Turbo do have their own versions of that feature. However, the GT4 has none of that. It's strictly a track-focused car with only the basics regarding comfort and extra electronic features. (So nice!)

However, I don't have to go through any procedure to keep the outlets hot when current is flowing into the cars (charging) for any of those three vehicles, including the GT4. That would appear to negate the Comfort Access as a variable for the lock procedure unless I'm not understanding something.

For the 981/991 comfort access option you had to touch the door handle or wave your hand over the trunk to unlock.

Maybe it's just me and old habits (from a GT3 997.2) die hard. But I've never had issue with my 991.2 GT3 with the lock/unlock and it seems to solve problems for people that have problems. We will never know It may just be buggy Porsche software.

Just confirmed with my service advisor. Power will be uninterrupted with the Porsche charge-o-matic while plugged into the V12 socket when the vehicle is locked. Whereas, the power drawn from the 12V socket will be limited to less than 30 min. from when the vehicle is powered down. However, in my case, I haven't experienced the trickle charge being interrupted whether the vehicles were either locked or unlocked.

That is a very good point, thank you for that advice.

I still have a question is or are there people who have to reset the Litium battery of the 992 with booster and if so whith what brand and type ?

Maybe naive question, but what’s the difference between the V12 and 12V socket. We went to Europe for three weeks last September and I plugged the Porsche Charge-O-Matic into the ashtray 12V socket with the door locked. I also tested this set up for several days before we left. The trickle charge was not interrupted.
Thanks,
Larry

I think this is a writing error as there is no difference whit us in Europa it is also 12V connection.I cannot judge the cigarette connection as i do not have one.
Ps V12 in Europa is a car with 12 ciylinders.

Sorry, I meant 12V regarding V12. Must be my subconsciousness opining for a large displacement- multi-cylinder ICU, since my garage of late consists mainly of BEVs plus a 3-pot hybrid.
