What did you do to your 996TT today?

That might not solve it.....the rubber sheath is just an external shield to the white tube underneath. My black rubber coating came completely off when I worked on my system and it still held pressure. I re-covered the lines with marine grade split loom and it has been functioning for two years now without any leakage.

I have determined that Matt's key fob works better than mine.

Nice.
You're missing a hose clamp on the right BOV...

It is remarkable how well Matt's works and how badly mine doesn't - both 2003 cars, but I basically have to be standing on top of the car to make it work.

Put a fresh one in and thought that is just the way it is... Matt's car told me it wasn't.
I figure by the time it's all said an done, with a new key blank and obligatory trip to Porsche, so be about $500... yay.
Unless my Durametric allows me to program keys...

need a PIWIS for key programming unfortunately. There's a TSB for the remote antenna which I'd check out first...remote either works or it doesn't, but battery quality and antenna exposure change the receiving length

Figured I was off to the dealer - I think the rest of it is OK, I did take the FOB apart and cleaned it - it has performed the same way since I have had the car.

what I'm saying is its not your key fob, unless replacement battery is weak(happens a lot) ...link to the fix.. Insuficient or Remote Control TSB 9662 Made Easy - Carrera (996) - Common Fixes and Repairs - RennTech.org Community
