From that I deduce that some of the internals need to be replaced but I am loathe to be ripped off at a dealer so I am resigned to the situation.

I have already swapped both fobs with the GT3 ones and the issue remains.
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 guys,
I know there are a bunch of threads with keyless not working, but mine isn't typical. When I press the button, I can see the light flashing on the dash, so there is communication between the key and the car, but it no longer unlocks, locks or opens the trunk.
This just came out of no where, worked fine then one day stopped working all together.
Thanks!
let me expand: when a trigger is left open on the 996 the locking function will not work and the car will alert you with two short beeps from the alarm horn.
In that case my apologies, I wasn't able to find one that had similar symptoms. I had to manually go through the pages because for some reason the search function isn't working, any search brings up 0 results.
Pete,
Hope it works for you. When one of mine failed it was like OPs, the remote and car were winking and blinking but no consummation, just flirtation. Switches and trace re-soldering didn't do it, so I had to let the dealer burn some of my Benjamins while they danced around the car chanting, or what ever it is that they do.
It's a bit weird that no one has found a solution to this vexing problem. I have had the same for a while and beside buying a bunch of batteries ( cheap) after replacement, it only take about 10 days b4 the keyless feature becomes erratic again: works sometime, sometime not, sometime the frunk button works and unlocks the car. Closing it is manual. From that I deduce that some of the internals need to be replaced but I am loathe to be ripped off at a dealer so I am resigned to the situation. Incidentally, both keys malfunction. I have already swapped both fobs with the GT3 ones and the issue remains.
I have the same situation, dealer tells me my 13 year old key needs new internals. When I bought the 2000 C2 in 2011, I had to purchase an additional key so I would have 2 working ones. The original now does not operate remotely. $300+ for new key fob, the old head was ok, just replaced the fob, programmign and new fob $300+ from stealer....
