That seems like a really good price from some of the other members experiences I have read about

This is the procedure specified by Porsche FYI.
FWIW:
Re-synchronisation:
Switch on ignition with key and valid transponder.
· Switch off ignition.
· Remove ignition key from steering lock.
· Operate transmitter within 6 seconds after the key has been removed.
If the LED on the hand−held transmitter stays dark when the transmitter is operated, this is an indication of either an empty battery or a faulty hand−held transmitter.
Radio transmission is OK if the LED on the transmitter flashes when the transmitter is operated and the alarm readiness lamp on the dashboard flashes rapidly.

Ok will give this a try today. Battery is next to new, remote indicator light works fine when button depressed, drive the car every day, tried the reverse the battery trick to no avail. Hope this one works or it means that i need either a new remote or reflash. Thanks guys.

yeah if the trial does not work on the way home, I will head over to the dealer. Will be racing the 24 Hours of Lemons against my service advisor - maybe he will cut me a break so that I dont put him in the tire barrier

Yes, this makes a lot more sence than inserting a battery backwards.
Do you have a link?

ok so i tried that process and the fob light worked but no indicator light from the car and did not re-synch. Looks like I am at the mercy of the dealer. Boo.

Hey,
I can't believe the price for a working key for these cars.
I just bought a new key and fob for my new-to-me 2000. I paid $100 for the key and $100 for the fob. What really galls me is they then have the nerve to charge for programming. If I have to pay for the key and fob, the programming should be included in the price. Otherwise, what good is the fob?
Anyway, I have one working fob and one that doesn't work. No way do I need another for that price.
