Key and locks not communicating

[ike84]

Ive had the same problem after disconnecting my battery a bunch of times in a row while working on things. The keys and the clu get out of sync. There's a reset procedure which involves turning the key in the door tumbler a bunch of times but it didn't work for me. I got a Porsche dealer to send me the transponder codes on my keys and will try to reprogram the clu using my piwis at some point. Not sure if it will work or not.

FWIW, it's a quick and painless process to install a $15 aftermarket remote lock controller. You'll have another fob on your keychain but will regain your functionality without too much fuss.

I saw some thing about a sync procedure, but I’m starting to think it only works on 987 and later Boxster’s. I couldn’t get it to work. Tell me more about this remote lock controller option, if you have a moment. Sounds like that might be easier than finding free time when my Indie is open to take it to them to fix the programming.
