I don't recall the details; others here might know the reverse battery/button pushing sequence. (?) *NM*

For some bizarre reason, neither of my electronic keys for the 2001 Boxster S is working.
Is there some arcane ritual one must perform after changing out batteries?

Also, a possibly silly question, should the battery positive side face up or down (visible or not?).

Have tried it both ways to no avail. Going into the dealer Friday and I want to be knowledgeable about the options.

Minus 40 degrees... Is that Fahrenheit or Celsius?

try the procedure explained here for the "outside lock in range." i doubt that's it since both keys have failed at the same time but you never know.

one thing to check is if the LED on the dashboard of the car flashes quickly as long as you're holding the key down. if it does, then at least you know your key is talking to the car. then it's a question of whether or not the key is sending the wrong code or if the car doesn't recognize that key as being the correct one.

Often people use only one key and then when the first one stops working they try the second and it doesn't work. That doesn't mean that they both stopped working at the same time.

Very good point. There was some time dilation in there I seem to remember. Got one working again but the other seems quite dead.

Anyone know a source for keys with built-in remote for some reasonable price (<$50)?
