Central Locking problems - miss-appropriate
The keyfob wont open doors/boot release. (Yes, I've checked the battery).I can only open the door with key in the lock but this sets off the alarm and doesn't central open the passenger door. Ithink the problemlies with the internal central locking button on dashboard as this stays lit at all times. Can anyone help me please? I dont fancy paying Porsche's hourly rate to tell me! thank you

Hi There,

Try posting this in the 'Backroom - Technical Matters' Forum. I got some great advice there over another electrical problem.

Good luck.

Do you get the same problem with the other key fob. you should have 2 electronic key fobs plus and an emergency one. The fobs are electronic devices so you might just have one faulty one
The alarm can be re programmed by the Porsche dealer so you can open the door without setting off the alarm but you might have to pay for this.

Good luck
