No "left the lights on" warning tone on 07 cayenne
Discussion
Hi guys
Had to go rescue my Mrs twice this month after shes left her lights on and flattened the battery on our 07 cayenne
Now I know if I try and get out of my 996 leaving the lights on I get an annoying tone to remind me
But the cayenne doesn't seem to do this
Is that the norm? Or is something missing /broken/Not turned on?
As always any advice is always appreciated

I remember reading a post on Rennlist where someone had "lost" the warning "gongs".
ETA - this includes the "key in" gong.
In their case, it was the little speaker in the dash that had gone.
If the other gongs work, then check to see if the interior lights are coming on when the door opens from outside when unlocked with the key.
Apparantly, if they don't then it might be faulty door switch .... so car doesn't realise the door was opened with the lights on.

There's some stuff on changing the speaker on the net.
It involves removing the instrument binnacle.
If you search google for "porsche cayenne instrument speaker fix" there are a few posts about it.
This is particularly useful: https://rennlist.com/forums/porsche-cayenne-forum/...
Part is common to VW Touareg etc as well, so might be found easier (and cheaper) by searching for that rather than Porsche.
Porsche Main Dealer would likely charge an arm and a leg to do this, but seems like any competant diy mech or indie could do it once the part has been sourced.
I'd have to get someone to do it for me, that's for sure
