As far as I know, all Boxsters have remote central locking. My key has 3 buttons, but then it is a later model than yours. Hope that helps.
Hello Pjv, a fellow Aussie and Melbournian too :-). Thanks for your welcome too.

I would have thought so too mate, I mean that all would have central locking. Using the info I got from here, I found where the fuse box is and checked all the related fuses, 3 according to the book were related to central locking. E1, B8 and C3. All are good. I was only given the one key and just wrote to the seller asking for the other/s. Is it possible that the one I've been given is just a spare key? I opened it today to check the battery and there's nothing in there accept for the battery and the lamp, no circuitry whatsoever. Once again, newbie observations.

Anyone one knows how to reactivate the remote central locking system since I read that if the car is not used fro 3 or 5 days it will turn itself off?

Thanks and cheers to everyone.
