I have a 2000 Porsche Boxster and when I try to lock the car using the key fob it immediately unlocks itself. I checked the complete car to ensure all the doors, bonnet and boot is closed but the problem persisits. I press the key fob to lock it, then a split second later the car unlocks and the horn beeps twice. I assume the beeps are to do with the alarm not setting. If I try to lock the drivers door manually I have to hold the key in the locked position to enusure the drivers door is locked as I can feel the lock trying to open itself. The passenger door is not locking and I am stumped to what is causing the problem. Any suggestions would be most appreciated

Hi Bgood,
I had the same problem. I locked and unlocked the car with the engine run several time utilizing the dashboard lock button. That fix my problem.

You can reintall your car system ,and look the isntrution to see if it can reprogram the key for you again .If it can't .maybe you have to buy a new one for your car.
If the key had gone faulty, the key code must be re programmed on the vehicle computer. This can be done only using a PIWIS tool, available at the dealer or at a qualified Porche garage. Try also the following reset: turn ignition on, turn off. remove
the transponder from the column push any button on the fob within 6
seconds. This procedure will reset the key synchronizing again with the vehicle computer.
does the led on remote flash when pressed, if so try to initialise remote by inserting key in door barrel or ignition lockthen turning key, whilst doing this press and hold lock/unlock button. the led on dash should flash to show the key has been initialised, then remove key and test operation. If none of this works then a new remote and coding to car is needed by your nearest dealership
Might be the central locking system. Try using the key in the door (rather than the remote control) to deactivate the security system. Also make sure that the center console is completely closed (this is part of the central locking system).
I connected a cigarette lighter (male on both sides) between my car and another car. Do not start the car, just wait until the battery has a little charge. The front bonnet should open allowing you to replace the battery. You will need to recode the radio (http://www.a2dvoices.com/realitycheck/porsche/ )
Alternative: Some newer boxsters have a red power post new the fuse box.
i presume little led in fob flashes when button pressed. Key needs to be initialised. Put key in door lock or ignition barrel and press unlock button watching led on dash, this should flash. remove key from lock, remote should now work
Maybe you can try this procedure to resyn your key. Initialization Procedure.
1. Open central locking system using the car key. 2. Get into the car and close all doors. 3. Using the car key, switch the ignition lock briefly to position "1" and then switch off again. (Please do this switching within 5 seconds or otherwise the system is not ready for initialization. 4. At the remote control key. Press the "OPEN" key (->) and keep holding. 5. When holding the "OPEN" key, press the "LOCK" button three time. 6. After pressing the "LOCK" button 3 times, release the "OPEN" button. 7. If the initialization process is sucessful, the door will lock and unlock immediately to confirm the process.
