i changed the battery in my key because i was starting to have problems with the c/locking, i thought it was a simple battery fading issue, however since i changed it the remote does not work at all, i swapped the batteries over double quick within a few seconds, so I'm now having to use the key to open and lock the car

Suggestion
Also if you change the car battery, put the key in the ignition, turn to the first position it stops the alarm from going off, when you disconnect the flat battery

The car had not been used for 5 days, so remote wasn't working, attempted to unlock and deactivate the alarm, when it went off.

changed the batteries on both my remotes on my 993 without any memory loss, I don't know if its different on a 996 but I would have a look at the manual.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Not that I'm an expert, but I think you may have erased the memory in the remote by changing the battery - On 993's you need the RED master key and then it's a simple case of reprogramming.

Darren, this makes sense to me i think the same must apply to my GT3, i often leave my car for more than 5 days at a time, and then have had to use the key to open the door and quickly put key in ignition before the alarm goes off.
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 all
i changed the battery in my key because i was starting to have problems with the c/locking, i thought it was a simple battery fading issue, however since i changed it the remote does not work at all, i swapped the batteries over double quick within a few seconds, so I'm now having to use the key to open and lock the car
any advice appreciated, cheers...rob

Not that I'm an expert, but I think you may have erased the memory in the remote by changing the battery - On 993's you need the RED master key and then it's a simple case of reprogramming. If you have the key, but no instructions, then a visit to the local 'friendly' OPC could be a quick fix.
Can't give any more advice..........sorry.

Guys
I've
changed the batteries on both my remotes on my 993 without any memory loss, I don't know if its different on a 996 but I would have a look at the manual.

I can't offer any help, but would be interested in the solution. :wink:
For the first time yesterday i was treated to the full bells and whistles treatment. The car had not been used for 5 days, so remote wasn't working, attempted to unlock and deactivate the alarm, when it went off.
on the plus side, i saw lots of my neighbours checking to see what was happeneing, so thats nice to know.

F1D, I think that is normal for C4S, if you read the manual I think 5 days is the longest you can leave the car before the alarm switches to a default to save the car battery. It automatically activates when the door is unlocked because of a voltage sensor.

Darren, this makes sense to me i think the same must apply to my GT3, i often leave my car for more than 5 days at a time, and then have had to use the key to open the door and quickly put key in ignition before the alarm goes off. Also i do have a spare key which i found and im hoping this will resolve my problem in the short term, saves a trip to my local OPS

if you have a 996/ boxster
after 5 days the alarm goes into sleep mode
to stop the alarm going off when you open the door using the key
put the key in the igniation and turn the ignition on within 10 seconds and the alrm doesnt go off
Also if you change the car battery, put the key in the ignition, turn to the first position it stops the alarm from going off, when you disconnect the flat battery

Ah, thats where i went wrong. I knew about the 5 day sleep mode, but didn't know that i had to get the key in the ignition so soon to stop the alarm.
Luckily a combination of not leaving it for 5 days very often and unwittingly fufilling the 10 sec criterea when i did meant i have only been deafened once! :wink:
Thanks Mark.
