As a new owner you may find this link helpful. It is written for the 987, but most of it applies to the 986 too. http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-problems-complaints/6951-didnt-read-manual-read.html

I use the car every day. I didnt say anything about my Key FOB not working, the handle of my door broke.

I took the door panel off today which was nice and easy to do- and after peeling back the liner behind it i could see in the little hole behind the exterior door handle. It looks like there's a male bolt that's loose I could find any kind of cable where is should connect to loose in there. Of course, it was a tight squeeze and it may have been out of sight... Im 0 for 1. Didnt get it rectified. Any thoughts? Anyone have a bentley manual they may be able to look into? Thanks!!
