Re: Going away for a week should I simply lock doors with keys?
Unless it's changed since my 99, there's no reason to do anything special. I often travel for a couple of weeks (on bizness - the last time include HK) or leave the car in the garage during our bad weather season for weeks with no apparent ill effect.

Park it and leave it as normal. When you get back just use the key to open it. I have left a 996 for 5 weeks without an issue! My 997 has been left for 5 days, 10 days and 4 weeks untold times in the last year and doesn't miss a beat when I get back.

Re: Going away for a week should I simply lock doors with keys?
Yes, if I recall correctly the car goes into hibernate after one week - you may have to open the car by using the key in the traditional way, as the remote function may sleep. Also I think after opening the car the traditional way you have to insert the key into the ignition lock rather quickly in order to avoid the alarm horn to make music 
But I'm not 100% sure as my baby never got rest for more than 12 hours
- so you better have a look at the manual.

Re: Going away for a week should I simply lock doors with ke
Car goes to hibernate mode after 5 days. When you return your remote will not open the car. You should unlock and then relock with the key, then unlock with the remote again. Anythign else will set the alarm off when you open the door !

Don't you have something like 20-30 secs to put the key in the ignition before the alarm goes off?

So leaving it as normal is fine? Hibernating mode? Did you have to reset the alarm?

From experience of the 986 - NO !
Re: Going away for a week should I simply lock doors with ke
Here is what I found in the 996 owner's manual ...
The remote-control standby function
switches off after 5 days, If the vehicle is not started or unlocked with the remote control within five days, the remote control standby function is switched off (to prevent discharging of the vehicle battery).
1. In this case, unlock the driver's door with the key at the door lock.
Leave the door closed in order to prevent the alarm system from being triggered.
2. Press button 1 on the remote control.
The remote control is now activated again.

Re: Going away for a week should I simply lock doors with ke
I don't know about the 987, but on my 997 if its been over a week it goes into hibernate mode, but all I need to do to 'wake' it up is pull on the locked door handle once.
From there, I just press the button on my key remote and everything operates normally. Hope this helps.
