key fob/remote.
Hi folks, any advice on this one please.
I have a 2000 year 3.2 cab 996 and 2 keys, but only 1 key remote works correctly. The other key will not operate the central locking etc but starts the car ok. Ihave fitted a new battery, and the red light works. Ihave also tested the key on a diagnostic tool and it seems to be ok. What is wrong. cheers.

Could have partially lost its programming. May be worth having the dealer try to resync it during your next oil change?

Probably going to have to buy a new head.
However some folks have been able to get them working by putting the batteries in backwards for a few seconds. Also take the board out of the head and reflow the solder on all of the switches. Dealer probably won't be much help unless you have the programing numbers from both key heads. If you buy a new one from other than dealer make sure to get the numbers or it will be decorative. ![]() PS: Keep that 2000 3.2 in good shape. It is very rare.
