Key - Not very user friendly

Has anyone else noticed the buttons on the key are really hard to use. There is no feel if the button is actually being compressed or not and they are so small that I always hit the wrong one. I try to release the hood and I lock the car, then I try to release the trunk and the hood goes up etc....

Just really annoying. You would think with a car this expensive they could do a better design job. My Touareg key works great, even the buttons on my wife's Explorer are much more user friendly than the Porsche.

Anyone else experience this??

First people want cupholders, then trunk latches inside the car, now better lock buttons on the ignition key. They're gonna want the RMS thing fixed next.

I agree. People are demanding way too much in a car that only costs $50K-60K. Where will it end?

LOL

Hey, speaking of keys, I want to replace the batteries in both my keys even though they both still work... exactly how long do I have to swap batteries before they need reprogramming?

I replaced the battery of my key awhile back and didn't need it to be reprogrammed.

yeah same here guy changed the battery at the dealer parts desk and didn't charge me.
He said if I was going to get a new key programmed (have one new one with colored crest waiting to be broken in) to bring in all the spare keys at once because there is a one time charge for all sets of keys.
