Suggestion
IF the fob is unsync'd, you can check/reset using one or more of the following:
Leading evidence: 'Check /' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check /' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
As the remote uses a rolling code (new code every lock cycle) if the remote sender has been activated more than 256 times and less than 1024 times with the receiver out of range or while the vehicle battery is disconnected the unit must be resynchronized as follows:

Can you use a flip out key like the Cayenne ones for the 996?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

hi, anybody had any keys duplicated not by a dealer/indy,only got one key for the car and been quoted £200 plus vat at an indy for a duplicate!
had the same thing done on my van (i know its a bit different)last week
and got 2 keys and a remote fob for the same price,must be essentially the same process? seems like a bit of a rip off,any ideas?
Same here guy's
1 key
got 100quid off the price towards said key
went to OPC asked them to be kind and they did the job for 150 squeelers and gave me a new Porsche key ring ta boot.....
Smile be polite as my dear old mum said and you never know what might happen :lol:
I got 2 keys but no emergency/valet key ..
On my 1999 VW Golf IV bought from new I also got a black plastic key mold to make new keys with. Supposed to take that back to VW dealer if I lost all the keys (assuming the plastic mold was not lost ofcourse
)
Was there something similar with new Porsches, and am I supposed to have gotten that with the car? :?:
i got the two full keys and flat key also, had to use the spare key today as id misplaced my main keys, only prob was battery flat, not a problem i thought so i popped in the cr32 battery and it lit up again, woo hoo i thought, only problem was it didnt go out, on the key fob, so i went to car, pushed button and nowt ! and the lights still on the keyfob! put in car and managed to drive it ok, came home, light still on key fob, wont lock on remote locking , had to use manual lock .. whats that about? do you have to program the key to car if the battery goes flat for an age ??
The car receiver (and other circuits) go into "sleep" mode after 5 days.
To wake, simply unlock car using key in lock. The car will awake, lock/unlock using remote again to turn off alarm.
If key fob is at fault (or no battery), you have 20 secs to turn on ignition after opening door before alarm goes off and it will be disarmed.
If your fob is either unsynchronized or dead it requires a replacement and is about £85 including reprogramming.
IF the fob is unsync'd, you can check/reset using one or more of the following:
The remote uses a normal button (CR) battery like many calculators, watches etc.
CR-2032 (20mm diameter by 3.2 mm thickness)
I think they are £1-£2 from Wilkinsons, Boots WHSmith etc
Just carefully prise open fob and swap over. I think it is easier to align rubber button downwards and then click "lid" over the PCB. Otherwise I found that doing it the other way resulted in the "lid" (the other lid this time!) not quite aligning with PCB, leaving a gap.
Porsche advise any remote range of 5 ft or less suggests new battery is required.
RESET PROCEDURE
Reset by manually unlocking the car door and whilst the key is still in the door, press the button, lock/unlock button. This re-syncs the electronics if it is time that has caused the car to forget the remote.
As the remote uses a rolling code (new code every lock cycle) if the remote sender has been activated more than 256 times and less than 1024 times with the receiver out of range or while the vehicle battery is disconnected the unit must be resynchronized as follows:
- Switch on the ignition (ignition key must have the correct transponder).
- Switch off the ignition.
- Remove the key and press the remote sender button within 6 seconds after the ignition key has been removed
The activation counter will then be reset to zero.
If the fault lies with the remote, you can reset the remote fob's chip by inserting the button battery in reverse (wrong way round) for a couple of seconds. (ie -+, +-)
If none of those work, you probably need a new remote!
