Apart from the factory installed option to preheat the car/engine (wasn't really available here in the US, too bad, nice option), this is the only one I've seen:

Cayenne electronics: abandon all faith ye who enter.....good luck.

This advertised remote pales in comparison and its distance doesn't even come close to the range of my OEM remote!

My comment was sarcastic BTW. I actually may have 20 feet to mine after they were replaced. Before I was lucky to have 20 inches!

A long, long time ago, in an auto assembly plant, far far away........

In order to keep things tidy and looking neat, the 'long' antenna receiver wire was
zip tied in a nice neat loop......did wonders for reception.

When owners (well, at least one that we knew of) started throwing their Cayenne keyfob remotes at the office of Peter the Great down at the Mothership, a phone call was made to the Fatherland.....

Message is as follows:
He's back again. Stop. He knows what you did. Stop. Please uncoil the antenna. Stop. Don't complain that it looks messy. Stop. It's under the spoiler, no one will know. Stop.

Actually you take off the spoiler and add a 4-5 foot extesion wire to the antenna, does wonders for the range of the remotes

Hey Brad, yes for real, I had mine open to fit the Sat antenna and did not see any sign of an extended antenna, check my Gallery for pictures
