Removing the Dummy Key - The Easy Way
There may be various reasons one may want to remove the Dummy Key in the Entry and Drive system (valet, car wash, prevent theft etc). The official method described in the manual involves getting a tool from under the fuse box cover and inserting it into a hole next to the Dummy Key.
However there is an easy way to remove the Dummy Key that has been mentioned a few times but without pictures and didn't seem to have been noticed by many.
1. Sit in car WITHOUT your key
2. Turn Dummy Key as if you're trying to start the car.
3. Error 2x message appears on LCD - see below
4. Turn Dummy Key to the left, hear a click and take Dummy Key out.
Done! Why bother playing with a pointy tool!
This only works with battery normal while the official method is useful even if the battery is flat.

While in Canada I set mine to metre/kilometre, yard/feet does not work for me, my nav voice is British though, which is what I get used to.

I can't get this to work - I never get the second message.
2012 991 Cab.
I've tried every combination of Off, On, Start that I can think of, but no joy.
Just got the car yesterday, so it's probably just me!
If somebody would elaborate on the magic I would greatly appreciate it....
Thanks!
And FWIW, my car spells "recognized" the American way with a "z".
