Hmmmm, so it turns. Perhaps the boxster door lock system is really not mechanical at all. I suppose if my battery was dead, I could try to unlock my door with the key and it woudln't work because its not really mechanical.

Okay, so here is what I'm thinking... as you turn the key, it makes an electrical connection. Now, I don't have any idea how the door knows its your key and not my key. I know the ignition key requires that the RFID tag be in your key. (thats the little glass looking pod inside of your key). I don't know if the door key works the same way.

That doesn't explain the tinkling sound you heard though.

Sorry that I can't be more help.
