I've tried all I've read on this forum, as in key in ignition on, key out and press etc, but all to no avail.

I was wondering whether actually this key really needs to be re programmed at the Porsche garage? or maybe there is a way that I can make it 'talk' to the car myself?

As I said, the other key fob i have works fine with the car, and i also replaced the battery with a new one just in case.

Thanks

I have the same problem on my 2001 3-button remotes. One remote blinks quickly and works, the other blinks slowly, and doesn't work. On both remotes, I've replaced the batteries, replaced the three surface-mounted momentary push button switches, and reflowed all solder joints (including those under the battery holder). All this got the fast-blinking remote working completely 100% reliably, but the bad remote still with "slow blinking syndrome" still doesn't work at all.
