Porsche Key

[Kirk]

Your problem definitely sounds like the remote head of the key is not working right. Are you sure the new battery you put in is good and installed correctly? Can you maybe check the charge on the battery with a multimeter? Sometimes if a battery sits too long before purchased it can be dead (or close to it) in the package. Compare new and old batteries to make sure you bought the same marked voltage.

If it's not the battery, then you'll just need a new key head with the remote buttons. You can go to a Porsche dealer and they can install one on your key and program it to match your car. There is no need to change the actual locks in the car.

Hi, I have a key which has also stopped working.There are numerous suggestions as to how to get it to work,and none of them do. I think Kirk is right that you need to go to Porsche as do I.
You can lock/unlock with the key, if you do you must turn the ignition on within10 seconds or the alarm goes off, pretty good really as it stops some thieving ****************************s
breaking in the locks and taking your motor,as they need the key matched to the car to be in the ignition to prevent this.
When you think about it,remote locking isnt a must have,we never used to have it
and opening the doors with the key isnt difficult, we just get used to walking up and pressing a button on a fob. But, if your like me, you will have to have it working !

Let s know how you solve the problem.
