As a very recent Boxster owner (53 but 2004 facelifted model picked up 3 weeks ago!) I had a Tracker Moniter unit fitted to the car on Wed morning, drove the car 20 miles to work early afternoon, parked up at 2pm and came back at 10pm to find all hell letting loose on the alarm front! Couldn't get the car to turn over (Sounded like starter motor issues) so phoned Porsche Assist who couldn't help and called the RAC......finally arrived to get me at 2am (!!!) which for a lone female is pretty awful but another story. (RAC customer Services, watch out for your gonads.....)
Nice RAC chap told me the battery was completely flat, jumpstarted me and told me to chew Trackers ears off. Have chewed said ears, chap came out today and apart from an earth wire "possibly" being in not the place that he personally would put it, basically says he thinks everythng is OK. Porsche dealership I got it from are tellng me that they do an umpteen point check on every car including battery so if it is still having the same problem once charged up (currently in the garage on a trickle charger) any suggestions on what it might be?
I had opened the driver door on the key fob and then remembered a coat in the rear boot so popped that as well with the key, leaving the door open, alarms went off (I obviously panicked!!) probably didn't get the key in the ignition within the timescale recommended. Apart from that, nothing untoward was plugged in, the car doesn't have that many toys apart from climate and no, although I am blonde, I hadn't left the lights on!
Any advice appreciated as ths is my first Boxster (40th birthday present to myself) and I am severely p'ed off about not having it to play with!
