Hello Friends!
I am the sad Drover with the unlockable 09 Cayman S. I am using the correct key. The key does turn in the cylinder of the driver's door handle, but this does not unlock the car or cause anything to happen. The buttons on the key do work and the red diode lights up each time you press any of the three buttons. The red alarm light on the dashboard was also flashing. I was only gone from the car for 1.5 hours and I'm sure I locked the car when I walked away, as I watched the daytime running lights turn themselves off after 30 seconds as I walked away. This is a true puzzle for sure. I had to leave the car downtown and hitch a ride home last night. Now I have to figure out the best way to get back into the car. The manual suggests that if I push the central unlocking button on the dashboard the doors will unlock... it also says that if I pull the door handles twice the door should open. So I'm thinking of taking the extra-second key, some rods and stiff wires with me when I go back down there. Short of that I have arranged for a tow truck to come and pick up the car... which will be interesting as well as the car is completely locked, in park (PDK) and parallel parked on a side street with cars in front and in back. I am thinking they might have to drag the car out into the street in order to pick it up. What a day.
