Key and locks not communicating

[ike84]

Sorry, image quality is limited by Tapatalk. What it says is that if the remote gets operated out of sync from the car more than 256 times but less than 1024 times it can be recovered with the following procedure:

Start the car with the key
Shut down the car and remove the key
Use the remote buttons within 5 seconds.

This should reset it. I seem to remember reading somewhere that if you exceed the 1024 mark then all hope is lost and the link is permanently broken. It's odd that the numbers correspond to numbers of significance in binary coding, which probably has something to do with the rolling codes that the remotes use.

I've not done this to know if it works or not. If anyone has success with it please let us know.

Tried this with both of my keys with no success.

Also, I had the car at the local Porche dealer and they could not get either keys to communicate with the car. Car is US spec and has M535 alarm.

What could be the issue here
