I want to disconnect the battery but seem to remember that when I did this with my previous 2003 Targa it set an alarm off and had to carry out a special routine to reset!

Suggestion

Sometimes I have to reset the windows, but from memory only ever the driver's side (because, I guess, that's the the window that drops when you open the door to turn the ignition on before disconnecting the battery).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good Day All, Just got a 2000 C2 convertible after5 years without a Porsche. I want to disconnect the battery but seem to remember that when I did this with my previous 2003 Targa it set an alarm off and had to carry out a special routine to reset! Am I remembering correctly, will I have trouble with my new car? Comments/advice greatly appreciated, cheers, David.

POST 2Original post

Key in the ignition, turn to position 1, disconnect battery, no issues. If you do it without doing this then the alarm will go off.

POST 5Original post

I have a 98 C2 and have to re-enter the radio code on disconnecting the battery. Sometimes I have to reset the windows, but from memory only ever the driver's side (because, I guess, that's the the window that drops when you open the door to turn the ignition on before disconnecting the battery). Both are 30 second jobs, providing you know the radio code.
