Carrera GT

I'm trying to find a picture of the ignition with the Keyless Go option for the 2011 Cayenne (or Panamera.) Is it still the sort of "oh, they left the key in the ignition" blank or has Porsche finally put a button in (like Mercedes) ?

I spoke with my salesman yesterday and the option still uses the "key".

Don't want to hjack this thread, but one of the downers w/the new Cayenne is that is uses a key which is shaped lke the Panamera...Apparently they wanted to same money on creating a mold for a Cayenne shaped key...

Thanks for going to the trouble to take that pic.

I can't understand the thinking (if any) behind making it look like the car has been parked and left with the key in the ignition. Surely by now some crook has broken into a Cayenne only to find it was a blank?

Anyway, I agree it's absurd that the Cayenne key is just like the Panamera key and it's damn awkward to get the key in and out of the ignition now -- the locking mechanism really clamps down on the key and won't let it go.

Strange how the Cayenne gets the motorized parking brake (like Range Rover from 2006-ish) and the Panamera gets the motorized doors (which are insanely cool by the way, though I have found a bug where they start to close themselves at the wrong time.) I think the motorized doors on an off-road vehicle would be great, but I'm guessing Porsche is saying that once you're at 30 degrees up, down or sideways, those little door hinge motors will fail.
