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.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Generation: 20261027T011819Z · outcome-qualification-6. Deterministic extraction; no AI model inference. How we use sources

Advice greatly appreciated

POST 2Original post

HAve you tried the other key? Does it work? Try to reset the key. Remove the battery in the key fob and reinstall the battery upside down (reverse polarity) for about 10 seconds. Remove the battery from the key fob and reinstall it correctly again. See if this works.

POST 3Original post

Looks like I'm not alone. Let's hope your suggestion works. Hope he's not another candidate for the hold-your-ankles solution by Porsche dealerships.

POST 4Original post

You may have to put the key in the door lock and lock/unlock the car. This may reactivate the key. I know that if you lock the car and leave it for more than 2 days (I think) the car automatically disconnects the key from the lock/unlock mode to protect the battery. Manually using the key reactivates it.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Damn Chuck, see what you started???? Next we are gonna see a bunch of guys getting Europipes for $5k a pop! It really is hard keeping up with the "Joneses!" I know, I know...... this is why you thing I 'm such a ********!

POST 7Original post

Hey....good news.....I went thru the entire process one more time before driving out to the Porsche dealership....One of the procedures called for me to put the key in the lock....locked/unlocked it and immediately stuck the key in the ignition and turned it on before ten seconds elapsed.....then took the key out and closed the door and heard a "click". I couldn't believe it....the remote started working. Thanks to all the folks for all the suggestions. One of them just saved me $150. Sure glad it started working kuz my back is sore from practicing that bend over and grab your ankles process.

Awesome Chuck! Now it will cost you $150 less to hear the Europipes!

POST 10Original post

Tim: They'll be here next wednesday...I looked at the db ratings that are posted on the Europipe website and it's really not that much louder than the stock ones....one or two db at certain rpms....a little more at others. Hope I'm not disappointed.
