I've never had the keys on either of my 987s need to be resynced to the car and there have been times where my Box has been put away for 4 mo. That may be a 986 "trick". Before you go to a huge expense, try replacing the battery in the fob first. No much to lose if that doesn't work and a lot of $$$ saved if that solves the problem.

UPDATE: after I woke up this morning, I checked the owner's manual. It IS possible to have your key go to sleep after 7 days. The 1st step in reinitiating the key is to open the door with the key in the lock. So replacing the battery will not make any difference in your predicament. Looks like you'll need a locksmith to get your door open.

Guess that's why I don't lock my Box when she's in storage. Avoids a lot of problems.
