Seems that there are a lot of issues from changing battery in 2000 and newer Boxsters. 
Thought I'd ask why this is occurring, and perhaps suggest what is absolutely necessary 
on my 7 series Beemer. When changing the battery you simply hook up a trickle charger 
to maintain voltage to the computers. If you don't do this the car goes into lockdown 
and will have to be towed to the dealer. My boxster is 98 so not necessary, but isn't this 
normal procedure on later models?
