There was a thread a while back regarding this problem. I think it had something to do with the battery running flat and not operating the door locks.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Get the key tested, any decent garage should have a test kit . Takes 10 seconds to test, if not working get the batteries changed , you may need to
reset the key?

ok, as I understand it,
After 5 days the car "goes to sleep" to preserve battery life apparently the sensor looking for the signal from the key fob turns
off.......
This is fine provided the door lock operates properly, it don't seems the mechanism as become disengaged........
The car battery apears fine judging by the flashing lights and 2000dba alarm siren
So stuffed ?

they gut with the hook on a pole suggestion seems favourite to me. I watched an RAC man do this on my Alfa GT with frame less windows like the
boxster. He used plastic wedges to lever the window away from the seal at the top corner enough to get his hook into the car to pull the door handle
inside.

LOL Our friends boxer did this except he had left it in the under ground parking for a month. He was left with a hefty bill for the recovery as the
front wheels were turned and it was between a pillar and a wall. He had to get Porsche to sort it.
Seems the battery goes flat so you cant charge it cause you cant access it. Something I remember was they said you could plug into the cig lighter to
maybe get juice into the electrics.(had to be careful with the amps as its fused)
I will see if I can get hold of Hendrick in spain to tell me more.
Porsche stealer had it for weeks ......and took a chunk of his kidneys to pay it.

The key batteries are easily accessable!

Once you get in, there is a special lead which plugs into the fusebox near the accellerator pedal which energises the solenoid for the bonnet so you
can get to the battery.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

May be a long shot, but have you tried the passenger door. I had a '91, 944S2 for which only the passenger door would unlock by key when the
battery was flat (or removed in my case)

Most recovery firms will be able to open it for you
