It looks like that a trip to the dealer was called for 5 "Emergency Transmission Run" events ago. You may have a problem that needs special attention or it may be cleared up by the PDK software reflash PAG issued and the US dealers say does not exist... but it does.

Keep us posted.

Take that lemon back to the dealer genius! Maybe you shouldn't have tried Launch Control with only 500 miles on the car!

That should have been a no-brainer right after the 1st warning.

Same message on my 09 Cayman S

Posted a thread in the Cayman section. I got the same message after driving a new Cayman S PDK for a little over 3 weeks. I had it flatbedded immediately to the dealer. Porsche is replacing the entire PDK unit on the car.

That is really good service, hope the replacement unit is new version without any problems. Good luck.
