Or press the unlock and Lock button at the same time as this turns off the fob. I did this to my second key and also my main key when I'm away.

I assume the pressing of the unlock/lock buttons will reactivate it?!?

Press either, not both to wake it up. BTW, when you press both to shut it down, the red light illuminates on the fob to confirm the action.

How far is your Porsche from where you keep your Key Fobs? Enough distance and the car and the Key Fob can't talk to each other the way they'd like to.

There’s probably 40-50 ft. between my car’s location in the garage and the key fobs located in one of my master bedroom nightstands (…right along with the keys to my bike and the spare key to my Corolla, which just recently needed a battery change after nearly 3 years). Does the 992’s PCM warn when the key fob battery is low?

This tip should be in the other dormant thread about secret features. This is very good to know.
Thanks!

How do you know you spend too much time on Rennlist? You can recall threads that had a last post 9 months ago! Yikes...

Where’s the link to that thread?

Why is your brake pedal upside down?

Sometimes. It depends on how frequently I'm driving the car. If it's been more than a few days, the first warning I get is telling me something I already know. The time interval between first warning and dead battery is fairly short.

Good catch (you RL guys are so sharp!).

I think that position (like someone gonna be looking down there) flows/looks better from an angle perspective.

We like what we like.

Thanks for the tip, just did this.

Be careful with this. I used my wife's Key Fob (of course) to try this. It did in fact shut the Key Fob OFF. But no manner of Button Presses or Button Press Combinations would bring it back to life. But Note: First, The Lock and Unlock button press commands worked just fine before I did this.Second, I was NOT getting a Low Battery Warning from the car before this and Third, Although the Key Fob was already OFF (or at least it wasn't working) repeating the Key Fob OFF function by pressing both the Lock and the Unlock buttons at the same time again, reliably generated the red flash illumination of the Key Fob Porsche Crest. So it was basically generating a redundant Key OFF command, or at least it looked that way.
So I tried removing and replacing the Battery. Essentially doing a Hard Reset. That didn't work either.
What did work was to replace the Battery with a new one.
It would seem that if/when the battery is near to, but hasn't reached the official Porsche "Low Battery" level . . . . it will still work just fine. But shut the Key Fob OFF and there's not enough left in the Battery to reboot the Key Fob. So-o-o-o-o-o-o I'd probably not do this, turning the Key Fob OFF, if I didn't have easy access to a new replacement battery.
