Dummy Key on Entry & Drive System
Hey all
I just received a replacement dummy key as I never had one when I bought my 957 used.
I installed it but it’s not being recognized with the key fob in my pocket.
Is there something I need to do to “program” or have the ignition recognize the dummy?
It’s clearly a dead key. When I insert my actual key, the electronic ignition clicks and fires up upon fully inserting. Press the brake, turn and fire, we have ignition.
When I put the dummy in, I press the brake and turn but no electronics, and just a message saying key not recognized. Or no key found.... not sure exactly.
Any thoughts? Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Good questions. My car also has Keyless Entry and drive but did not come with the dummy key, or even a second regular key. So, I want to hear the answers to your questions and also find out if the system is worthwhile or annoying because if it's worth it, I may see if I can get it working on mine too.

I was so looking forward to just getting in and having it ready to go.
Im let down that it didn’t work. I’m hoping it’s just something I need to activate or something.

My 2004 Cayenne has Entry and Drive as well (and did not come with the key when I bought it). I purchased a new one from Suncoast, plugged it in, and it started right up. Did not need to do anything - so I don't think there is anything special needed from the dealer.

Oddly enough, it wasn’t recognizing the dummy key at first but after I locked the doors / armed the system from the drivers door handle button, it started working. It’s been fine since.
The dummy key is a great addition btw. Love the ease of operations and not having my keys hanging off the dash.

I bought an 06 cayenne with this feature but only has 1 key. Do i need a special replacement key for this or can an independent locksmith be able to make me a key with no issues. Similar to ones without the entry and drive feature.
