What to do about a Boxster car alarm?
First thing is to disconnect the battery and the alarm siren which is located on the right hand side of the battery, just unplug it once removed (13mm nut) and wrap it in an old towel as it has an internal battery back up. Charge your car battery as its more than likely flat. I would remove passanger seat and dry the alarm control unit out.
What happens when you disconnect the battery on a 2005 Porsche Boxster?
If the car is not started or unlocked for more than 5 days (7 days on the 2005 and later models), then the remote control standby function is switched off, and you will need to unlock the car using the key.

What should I do if my Porsche battery goes out?
Read out the fault memories of all control units after the test drive. If there is a fault present, check to see if the fault was caused by an undervoltage. If faults were caused by an undervoltage (or CAN timeout error), erase the fault memory, perform another test drive and read out the fault memory.
