    I have found out 2 reasons; firstly the lock on my Boxster is actually faulty and I am getting it replaced. Secondly, apparently if you leave the car unused for a while the remote stops working to save battery. It could also be your car battery has run down (unfortunately this happens pretty quickly, especially if you have a tracker installed). There are other posts that tell how to re-engage the remote (can't remember off the top of my head). Failing that you may need to get some one to airbag the window and start the car (much less painful than it sounds!) Hope that helps! Thanks. MY battery is OK so I will have to investigate the lock mechanism as you said. Where did you find a replacement unit? Hi, Actually I got the guys at my local Porsche garage to get one in and fit it.

    thanks for the excellent advice. I will see if the guys at my porsche garage can shed some light on the key problem.

    'ALLSPEED' It's a little rubber bag you push between the window and frame with the help of a wedge. You then inflate and bend the window outwards to create a gap! You can then use a rod with the key taped on to turn the ignition.

    Thanks for your help DC. I think there may be a problem with the key as the RAC mechanic said the battery was fine. The battery in the key is strong too but the key won't open the door even now it's all powered up and working again. We airbagged the window, started the car and then opened the window...

    This has happened before! I didn't use the car for a few days and then when I went to use it the key won't work. The battery is new and good in the car and the remote, but the key just goes back and forth in the lock without engaging the lock. Last time I had to get the RAC to airbag the window and start the car with the key on the end of a piece of wire! Any more practical suggestions or will this always happen after a few days of not using the car?! THANKS!
