Hi All, I have a new (to me) 2004 2.7 Boxster.

When opened manually with the key, all the locks seem to lock and unlock as they're supposed to. I have no issues opening either boot with the buttons inside the car.

When blipping the key though it's another story.

99% of the time I get no reaction at all. The red LED flashes, so I'm assuming the battery and switch are good.

I've read about the "standby mode" and I've tried both unlocking with the key and then hitting the button and unlocking with the key and starting the engine within 10 seconds.

The most luck I've had is if I unlock with the key and blip the button, it WILL unlock/re-lock the car but only very very occasionally, and not for more than a few seconds at a time, before it goes back to not working again.

Any ideas?
