Today the 06 Cayenne Turbo did not respond to either of its two remote keys. It rests at it usually trouble free spot in the garage. I am thinking some kind of radio-interference since the radio-controlled garage door opener's range had shrinked to about half a yard also.

I got the car started using the emergency unlocking prosedyre and everything worked fine when moved 20yards away from the garage.

I have tried cutting power to all of the house and garage to conclude the source of the radio interference could not come from this property. Everything worked fine a few days ago and will hopefully do so again tomorrow.

Any tips about what could cause such a problem?

Are the Cayennes very sensitive to radio-interference?

Glancing through the owner's manual, I found this statement from PAG. Strange that they would state something like this.

That's standard FCC language... on everything you've ever owned that transmits anything.

My '05 CS has done this a few times in my office parking garage. I'm not sure what is the cause, but surmised it to be RF interference.

Solved.

The problem was a radiotransmitter for some common wireless christmas-lights. It was stored in its box in the shed above the garage. It was in a bind so that it transmitted continously and jammed the Cayenne and the garage door opener.

Lesson; remove batteries from radiocontrollers before storing.

wow......maybe it could jam a radar!
