You can test this yourself.
Lock your Boxster, then leave her for a week. When you return to drive her, try to unlock her with the remote control on the key fob.
You will discover that the car does not respond. You will have to physically insert your key in the door to unlock her.
Of course, you could also invest five minutes and read your owner’s manual. Just a thought. You spent a bunch of money on a semi-exotic German sports car, the least you could do is spend a lunch break with a cup of coffee and read your owner’s manual.
Good luck.

Good points, though I would also point out that I, for one,
have read much or all of my owner's manual, for the most part 14 years ago when I purchased the car. But I have not committed it to memory. At 224 pages, it's not exactly a "five minute" read. I tend more to
refer to it when I have an issue, or want to better understand some specific topic. Had I had issues with inexplicable battery drainage (which I haven't), that's the first place I'd check. I suspect that's the approach utilized by most car owners.
