I purchased a used 2001 Boxster here on Oahu back in 2013 and am working through a key issue. It came with a single key only and no buttons on it other than one round button for a light. I have been using the key to manually lock and unlock the doors without issue until the driver side door lock went 'limp' - spins freely without locking or unlocking the door. The key still works on the passenger side and that is how I have been locking and unlocking the car. I am working the lock issue in a separate thread but when I stopped by the dealer they said the car never had remote entry.
Is that possible? Was keyless entry an option in 2001 and the original owner declined?
How can I verify if my car has remote entry 'installed' or available - meaning I would be a new key fob and having it programmed away from keyless entry?
