my car sits so long these days, i dont even bother trying to use the remote. i take both keys and open the door with one - then re-insert both keys in the ignition to "re-activate" them.
just did a 60+ mile trip to get eggs and beer lol after it's been sitting on the ctek trickler for several weeks. car threw a "failure" cel for the coolant system which didn't "store" ( false code ) and then found also that the radio didn't work! checked the level in the exp tank ( all good - and its new ) and pulled and re-inserted the fuse for the radio ( c8 iirc? ) and all is good ( again ).
but this is exactly the kind of ***t that worries. me. of all the cars i have ever owned. this one tops the demands that it be DD"d as often as possible - or else!
If the car is not unlocked with the remote control within five days, the remote control standby feature is switched off and the key has to be used in the door to unlock the car and disable the alarm.
Clever battery saving feature - I also set the alarm off the first time this happened by not turning the key the right way.

I have gone three and four (and even five) weeks without starting my 996 Turbo MANY times since I've owned it and have never thrown a code or had a single issue upon starting it. When sitting idle in my garage it is unlocked and stays on a Porsche trickle charger.

i believe that. but your car doesn't have 168k miles on it with me as the owner lol. the radio deal was a "quirk" and whenever it sits on the ctek for extended periods. the amp guage is almost PAST 14 when i drive the car under "no load" conditions. i think its gets "over" juiced" long term. plus i use the cig lighter adapter - for ease of operation.
its funny as that's the only 996 turbo oem accessory i've ever seen and thought of as "vintage". hell, if i saw it at a swap meet, at first glance - i'd think it was an AM transistor radio lol. even the name of it is straight "jetson's" = "charge o mat". i love that ha
