Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

It seems like the current programming allows for you to not use the remote keyless entry for 7 days, before it 'disables' it use and forces you to actually USE the key.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

On the 996. It seems like the current programming allows for you to not use the remote keyless entry for 7 days, before it 'disables' it use and forces you to actually USE the key. For anyone with the door plug, this becomes 'annoying' if you drive it less than once every 7 days or so. Is there a way to reprogram this ? When I brought mine into the local Porsche dealer, they said 'no'. I've decided to ask around in case there was a 'better' answer :-) I drive the car at least once a week, but it seems to always be a day or so after the 'grace' period. Thanks, Andy

POST 2Original post

Does it actually work? Twice I've left mine locked and unattended for over 7 days and the remote worked just fine when I got home. I do keep the car on a battery tender but I doubt this would alter anything. Also my dealer (Champion) turns off anything they can turn off before the cars are delivered. Maybe this functionality can be defeated.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, it actually works. This has happened to me more than a handful of times. Sounds like it might be something that can be 'turned off'. I didn't think to ask the dealer THAT specifically... I asked if it could be programmed for a different # of days. hmmm......

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
