BOXSTER BATTERY

Bought a CETK conditioner to ensure starting after periods of non-use ; previously the car had a flat battery after 10 days.
I find now that after only 5-days of non use the key fob will not unlock the doors. Is this a feature or a fault ??
 
There is a feature which turns off the receiver on the alarm system after a period of no-use to save power. I thought it was a little longer than 5 days, but could be wrong. To reactivate the receiver, put the key in the drivers' door and unlock it - BUT DON'T OPEN IT !! (The alarm will go off). Remove the key from the door lock and push the button on the fob. The doors should now re-lock. Press again to unlock and disarm the alarm.
 
If your car is a 987 a simple tug on the drivers door handle will also re-activate the remote system.

Just curios .... I wonder ..... (mine is LHD) ..... Would those devious German engineers left the programming on the left hand door aka UK passenger side ?
 
Oddly enough Nick, I had a problem with the alarm module a few months ago and haven't tried the "door-tug method" since its replacement. Jeff
 
Thanks for the fast responses ; i tried the key in the lock approach , however the alarm went off without opening the door !! Anyway....... now all seems to be OK...... interesting to see what happens next time.
 
mine works by pulling the door handle then you can use the fob, it's to save battery life if car is left
 
On my 986 you put the key in and unlock, take key out, open door and then you have about 10 seconds to insert the key in the ignition.
