Guys, I’m having the worst luck with this. Can’t even get the ****************ing wheel off. Is there some trick aside from taking all five lug nuts off that I don’t know about on this Boxster S?

Cig lighter is not for starting the car, just for powering the lock.

I don’t even know what I’m looking for, am I getting warm?

I have resorted to this https://ibb.co/gDLz2T

It's behind the wheel well liner.

Here's a way to open it if the battery is completely dead, but it requires taking out the driver's seat and disconnecting the immobilizer box.

Thanks particlewave, that video did it and I'm in! Thanks to everyone else who helped me, this forum is an awesome community!

That was a nightmare, but at least I finally got the windows rolled up.

Between the headlight and front trunk well.
Maybe use a mirror to see if you can see it up in there?

This worked for me as well a couple of times on my '07 987 CS and also on a friends '07 911

I used 12V light that was already dead, cut the light portion off and applied 12V from an extra battery and managed to open the front trunk, since I was never able to find the emergency cable :rolleyes:
