You should list the model number or year when posting about re-syncing the remote. From what I have been able to determine, the 986 does not use the rolling code and the On-Off-Remote button does not work. I think the 987 (2004-2012) does.
The remote and starting/unlocking/alarm are different systems. The remote just tells the CLU to lock/unlock the door or trunk (and sets the alarm by locking/unlocking the door). The RFID pill in the key lets you start and the mechanical key in the door locks/unlocks/sets the alarm.
Be grateful you have a mechanical key. A recently acquired Volvo (a real grannie scow) had remote problems. With their "emergency" key (which the dealer wants $200 for) you have to pry off the lock cover to use. You think having to open the trunk by the inside latch is an annoyance.
