Davion Posted 13September, 2016 Report Share Posted 13September, 2016 Hi guys,I need help! So I'm locked out of my Boxster - went away for a week and remote fob doesn't work as expected.- however, putting the key manually in doesn't work as well:( the key turns freely inside.I had the lock replaced recently and I suspect the repairers didn't test to see if it actually works before returning to me.I've read about unlocking the frunk using the special cable which will trigger the alarm which should activate it but guess where the tool kit is:(Repairers are not being helpful apart from saying to tow it back but you still need to unlock the car first. Is there any way of unlocking the car via remote fob so I can drive the car back to the repairers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwright_11 Posted 13September, 2016 Report Share Posted 13September, 2016 Have you tried using the key in the passenger side door lock as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoSo Posted 13September, 2016 Report Share Posted 13September, 2016 Supposedly you can wind down the window by holding the key to the left. Does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key doesn't work when inserted into the key hole Turn left/right nothing. Plus I guess the door would unlock if the windows could be wound down.

Diggin Posted 13September, 2016 Report Share Posted 13September, 2016 is your car battery flat?any reason why you haven't contacted your local porsche centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Kay Posted 13September, 2016 Report Share Posted 13September, 2016 Battery is definitely flat. You need to unpick the plastic under guard to get to the emergency cable that opens the froot/frunk. Jump the battery and your woes will be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caver Posted 14September, 2016 Report Share Posted 14September, 2016 If you leave the car locked for more than a week, the security system goes into a sleep mode to save battery drain. Pressing the key fob won't wake it up. Instead, you have to insert the key into the lock, turn and hold it anticlockwise for around 15 seconds, then release. Then the key fob button will open the car. This procedure is explained in your owners manual. Having said that, it sounds like you have a flat battery too, so you'll have to break into the bonnet as described above.Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
