How does an alarm work on a Boxster?
If I use the key remote the alarm chirps once, the lights flash, and both doors plus the gas door lock, and the alarm indicator light on top of the dash flashes. Upon unlocking/disarming with the key remote, the alarm chirps twice and everything gets unlocked as it should.
Why does my Boxster not lock the door?
