Battery protection active while park?
As the title says, I got that message when I turned on my 991.2 TTS just now. Last time I used it was xmas eve. The remote wasn't opening the door and a red light flashed on the remote, I tried ejected the manual key out of it but eventually it started working. Car started with a weird noise that you get like a battery is dead but it's started now. Any advice on what's to do? (Besides the obvious that i need to use it more often)

Invest in a battery maintainer if you're not going to be driving it for extended periods. And, yes, drive it more often :)

I bought one from my dealer, if I recall correctly it cost close to $300.

Just bought the Porsche charge-o-mat pro battery maintainer and its coming tomorrow. Before I screw anything up just wanted to ask everyone how to go about it. Do I just plug it and forget it? Or do i need to check on it every few days? Are there any particular settings?

Don't they do this at the annual service? It did this last winter too when I didn't use it much then at the annual service in May they said everything is fine. Don;t recall any issues in spring and summer as I drove it more then.

I would have your battery tested. The fact it started the car doesn’t mean it’s not toast. Just plug the battery tender in and forget about it. It’s a smart charger so it will cycle off when the battery is fully charged.

How do you plug it in without not closing the door? Or do you leave the door open? (but wouldn't that drain the battery?) 1 end in the cigarette lighter and other in wall socket correct?

There is a rubber gasket around the bottom.
