Key battery substitution |
|
|
I changed the battery in my 1998 Boxster 2500's key. Now the radio command
doesn't work. Should I "inizialize" the key? How?
Thanks
Carlo

Make sure that the battery is installed correctly. If your key has the
little red LED, make sure it is lighting up when you press a button. If
not...the battery is probably turned wrong, the contacts inside the key are
corroded, or there's an problem with the key's electronics.
Good Luck...

Thanks, but: red LED lights and the battery, i'm sure, is properly set.
Someone told me that there should be a procedure to rewake the key (for
example, Audi or Rover do so) when the battery is changed; something like:
put the key end make a code turning it right end left a given number of
times...
Is it true?

Based on what I know about the Porsche 986 and 996 remote systems:
If you don't use the remote for "X" number of days (either 7 or more), the
receiver in the car turns off. However, once you use the key to start the
car, the receiver turns back on...and it should work fine. If it doesn't,
then something is wrong....especially if your LED is flashing as it should
when the buttons are pushed. This means the battery in the key is installed
correctly.
If you've started the car with the key in question...then it's time for
professional help.

Oh, maybe. Tomorrow I will use my key (manually) and I wait and see the
result.
Thanks.

No, nothing to do. No problem with the second key.
