Second Key dead in 987.2
The second ignition key in my previously owned 2009 987.2 Cayman won't start the car. It unlocks the trunk, frunk, and doors just fine.
When inserted into the ignition, the dash displays 'Key 2'. But the full dash instrumentation doesn't come on and turning it won't engage the starter.
The key looks identical to the fully functional 'Key 1' so I suspect that the car's DME has somehow "forgotten" the transponder. Yet I find it odd that it does recognize it as 'Key 2' - seems like if it didn't recognize the transponder that it wouldn't do anything.
Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions? Yes, I'm sure the dealership can assist me but funds are limited.
TIA!
