How frequently are you using the car?

If the car is not unlocked in 5 or 7 days (never remember which) it goes into sleep mode where the remote is disabled. When that happens the car acts exactly as you describe.

After you turn the car on (doesn't have to actually start) can you then take the key out and use the remote? If not then the things I could think of would be:

1) Computer and keys need to be reprogrammed to recognize each other.
2) Something wrong with the remote antenna on the car.
3) Everyone's favorite security module.

A dealership should have a PIWIS and be able to diagnose this pretty quick.

The car is used only on weekends and does sit in the garage for weeks at a time. I agree that is appears to be in sleep mode. The key fob does not work after starting the car and then removing the key. The only option is to bring it to Porsche and see what they say. Will post an update.
