Help cant get in, locked out, battery???

[reidmav]

Guys please help, i have left my car outside since the 24th in the snow and with it now defrosted i tried to get in today but the bleeper wont bleep, i.e. i cant get access to the car. Ive only had it for 2 months now and only ever received one key. Ive tried the key in the lock and it turns both ways but it still wont open.

Any ideas?

help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee :ah:

I believe when the car stands for more than 5 days you MUST open it with the door lock.
Could it be that the door is still frozen shut and that's why you think the key wont open it?

Even if your battery is out, unlocking the driver side door with your key is a mecanical process that should work everytime.

i thought i could do the turn of the key in the door thing too but it wont open, no noises, nothing. I never opened the door with key at any point that i have owned it so does anyone know for sure if the ignition key will be the same as the door key as a matter of fact?

can a porsche dealer get it open? at a cost im sure?

plese keep helping thank you all its tearing me up not getting in, i take it this will mean the battery is actually dead?

I once locked myself out of the car and the road service was able to open the car up:
You must very carefully pry a flatiron between the top and the window
But what they did then was to press the "door unlock" button which opened the door but the triggered the imobilizer
Just to be sure better check if the battery in your key is still good
Also look for a thread how you can provide power to the front hood unlock mechanism by attaching a battery to the relevant fuse (do a search and you should find it)
This all is of course step #2 after you were able to get the door open....

hey again,

ive just got the road service to stick a wire between the window and the hood, i have 98 version with no central lock button so they lifted the "arm" in the footwell that sprung open the bonnet, we attached a jumper booster to the battery and it had absolutely no effect at all, no change nothing.

We also tried warm water over the door and lock mechanism, again no change.

So im still not in the car but i now have the bonnet open therfore gaining access to the battery, should i disconnect the battery to reset it or would this cause more problems, any ideas from here? because im felling very sad now. Typical Scottish/UK weather its snowing again.
