Information on key wanted
derekcohen replied to derekcohen's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks Bill I have downloaded this. Regards from Perth Derek -
Hi guys In a couple of days I will be taking delivery of a black on black 2001 S. It was purchased interstate (from Sydney, Australia) after coming very highly recommended by a Porsche mechanic with an excellent reputation. It is in immaculate condition and very low mileage. All looking good. However ... the previous owner mailed me one of the keys (the others are with the shippers). The key I received was unused and simply lay in a drawer. I suspect the battery is dead (a light does not come on when any of the buttons are pushed). Is the battery dead? What are the steps to replace it? If the battery is dead and I replace it, what are the ramifications for the remote? Do I need to have the key/remote reset by the agent? Or is changing the battery enough to make the key useable - assuming that the other key/remote is working when the car arrives? Many thanks. Regards from Perth Derek
