jsavage Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Hey guys, I have noticed some weird issue with my 987.2 in that if it is left for a while (maybe a week or so) without unlocking it with the key fob then I have to unlock it with the key and then the key fob works to turn off the alarm after the door is opened. This is the same for both keys I have. Was wondering if anybody else has this issue? The alarm stays on as I found out the first time and I turn it off after I open the door with the key and get in it. Never had this type of behaviour with any other car. Stock alarm system. Any ideas? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureechos Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Not sure this is exactly it but: The 987.2 go into sleep mode after 1 week. Pull the door handle, this wakes the car, then try the fob button again and it should unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they reference anything about it in the owners manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingybreadman Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I had the same with mine, you're right it is after a week, this may help you. (1) being the lock button on your fob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? Joe As futureechoes says, pull the door handle but I think you have to 'double pull' it (twice in quick succession) to wake it. This will 'wake' it from low energy mode and the fob should work again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
