Dr. Kill, after about 5 days the car goes into "sleep mode" to save power. Just put the key in the door lock and unlock car, then insert into ingnition, and this should wake it back up again. Do it fast or the alarm will sound. (Ask me how I know!  )

Thanks for your reply,
that is actually how I have been driving around today and yesterday, using the key to manually unlock and lock the door, but the key remotes still won't work.

Dr. Kill, time for the dreaded Owners Manual then. Try opening the door, turn the key but don't start it, take the key out, close the door and try the remote.

It is possible that the key battery got drained when you placed it in your bag...maybe somehow the buttons got pressed. I would suggest changing the key battery first. You can get the battery anywhere like Target, WalMart or Best Buy. Takes a minute to replace it. I am doubtful that the remote is dead since your car is still pretty new. Also, look up the manual for ways to reset the key etc. when car has not been used for several days. If all else fails, then you would have to replace the key remote head and get it programmed at the dealer. It will run around $200 depending on where you buy the key head....cheapest place is sunset import porsche and bring to local dealer for programming.

Hi,
Try pulling the battery, waiting 15 sec. and re-inserting it. This has been found to cure some other faulty remotes. Good Luck!...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I've also read that you can "re-boot" the key by removing the battery and inserting it backwards then re-inserting it correctly.
Here are some other suggestions on Renntech:

lock the door. unlock it, put in ignition, turn all the way to the right without turning the car on, pull key out, double click the remote buttons,
this should do it

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.
I managed to get it working again.
I replaced the battery but that didn’t help, then I tried to do the key reset procedure found in the manual, that didn’t work either. Then I tried a whole bunch of derivations of the key reset procedure, varying amount of times I pressed buttons, length of time holding them down, and other combinations of locking, unlocking, and placing the key in the ignition. The good thing is that one of them worked, I am just not sure which combination actually did it.
