alank Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Can the alarm be disabled on the boxster, 2003 S. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Given from your other thread you are going away, a battery disconnect might be a short term solution. Put key to position 1 (lights on on dash) then disconnect neg terminal and lock her up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Does the 986 have a key lock on the passenger door? On a 996, if the battery is disconnected, you can only lock the driver's door with the key, as there isn't a key lock on the passenger door..

Richard Hamilton Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 And it you disconnect the battery and lock the front lid it might be difficult to open it to reconnect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_S Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I fitted one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12v-24v-Heavy-Duty-Battery-Disconnect-Isolator-Cut-Off-Switch/352638603228?epid=14026959592&hash=item521ae60fdc:g:5DUAAOSwenVcpbZ9 Makes disconnecting less faff. As said above, key in position one when you do it. On the 986 you can fully close the bonnet. The only issue is the window. I usually do it with the door open which means the window is down a bit. Of course it doesn't go back up when you close the door if the battery is disconnected. I have a car cover so no problem. Maybe others can advise if the car lets in water when the window is in the 'door open' position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alank Posted May 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hi all thanks for your comments. Off on hol today, so decided to put it on life support and hopefully keep the battery charged up to prevent alarm going off. Why can't their just be a way of disable alarm, sure my other cars have .
