It depends on the year of your Boxster the early '97-99 were cable operated and I don't know when the change to electronic was made. The issue with the mechanical, when the battery dies, is getting a door open to activate the frunk release. That is why it is recommended to reroute the emergency frunk cable from the wheel well to the tow hook slot. That way you can pop your tow hook plug and pull the emergency cable to open the frunk and access the battery to change it and activate the electrical system to open the door. If you don't reroute the cable then you may have to remove the tire to get at the wheel well liner to get at the cable. A strange set up for sure.
