I think its about a 30 second delay, I remember after I hadn't used the car for over 5 days, I unlocked it with the key, then opened the trunk and was taking my time and then sat in the car and the alarm went off...scared the sh*t out of me...haven't done it since

The anti-hijack locking can be reprogrammed but I don't think you can change the deadlock settings?

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.

11 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

Ok, i parked her up (1999 C2) last wednesday and locked up as usual. Today I went to drive to a friends house and went to unlock the car, but nothing happened. I thought the battery might have gone in the alarm fob so I got the spare keys, but they dont work either. I've tried it from various angles, but nothing. The alarm appears to be working as the LED on the dash is flashing so I dont want to unlock the car manually as the alarm may go off. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

POST 2Original post

Unlock the car manually, I think after 5 days the Key Fob stops working and when you unlock manually it resets it.

POST 3Original post

unlock using the key and insert the key in the ignition promptly. If you don't insert the key the alarm will be triggered.

POST 6Original post

I usually unlock the car with the key. Close the door and lock the car with the remote, and then unlock the car. This re-enables the alarm and then disables it. Since I started doing that the alarm hasn't gone off on me, and it saves me having to jump in the car and turn it on immediately if I have stuff to load or if I'm not ready to leave yet.

POST 7Original post

perhaps it can be reprogrammed like the automatic door lock...mine are programmed to lock as sonn as the key is turned

POST 8Original post

i think that it can be reprogramed-check your handbook.

POST 9Original post

Spot on. 996s and boxsters are pre-programmed to deadlock after 5 days without use. Have to go through this pretty much every week with on or other of the cars. Unlock the drivers door manually with the key (no need to open the door) then the keyfob will be reactivated. Then use the keyfob to turn the alarm off or on as normal. The anti-hijack locking can be reprogrammed but I don't think you can change the deadlock settings?

POST 10Original post

What year was the anti-hijacking locking feature built into the car?

POST 11Original post

Not too sure, it's been on each of the post 02 cars we've had. Someone who has a 99 /00 car would know if it was spec before then.
