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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Key fob went very lazy recently due to a low battery. Needed to operate lock/unlock manually for about a week and then received/fitted new batteries to the keys. I am getting a strong signal from the keys (flashing light)but remote locking system will not respond . Are there any "reset" steps that are required ...any advice much appreciated. 996 MYo4 C2

POST 2Original post

Yes, there is a reset routine for the key remote transmitter. Basically, you put the battery in reverse polarity for a few seconds and then take it out and put it in correctly. If you want the full details send me an email and I'll attach them to a reply.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Many thanks Richard....you have mail .

Hi, there is also a previous thread that I started ..... Jason http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=265927

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Jason. Went through the "reverse polarity" routine many times...both fobs seem to be working ok but will not perform on the car. Looks like a new fob for me as well. Did you bother getting two new ones?....presume everything is ok now ? I think the world of this car... the engine and its performance are wonderful but when it comes to "electrics" there must be some great job opportunities in Stuttgart[ ]
