Additionaly in case , you wanto to troubleshoot the problem your self, you can download the service manual from the site below :
If the key had gone faulty, the key code must be re programmed on the vehicle computer. This can be done only using a PIWIS tool, available at the dealer or at a qualified Porche garage.
Try also the following reset:
turn ignition on,
turn off.
remove the transponder from the column
push any button on the fob within 6 seconds.
This procedure will reset the key synchronizing again with the vehicle computer.
If you put the battery upside down you risk to short the key remote and break it.
When the key fob is falshing slower it means that is not synchrronised with the car.
Try also the procedure below:
1. Unlock your car using the key
2. Open car door ( if alarm goes off, put key in the ignition to stop the alarm).
3. Press unlock button on remote and the remote will resynchronize with the car.
If it does not work, then you have either two faulty remotes, if you are not, you have a faulty control module or a problem with ECU.
The best thing to do is going to any authorized card dealer, testing remotes and getting a remote that you know is working synchronised with the car.
