Purchased a 2012 Pan wih 60K miles 5 Months ago. Was enjoying tremendously, then nothing! Electrical, lights, windows, trunk all worked, put in key. nothing. Dashboard has gone dark! Had vehicle towed to "Porsche Specialist" shop. Thye could get nothing out of the car except battery OK. Towed to dealer where it's been for 2 weeks and they can't get the vehicle to "talk" to them. Last informed that they manually programed the car to partically wake-up...but still unable to get a code from it. Now ordering a new key fop (i only got one) to see if there was some type of Kill code from mine. Anyone have a clue what's going on?
Thanks

This is a follow-up for those who might encounter the same issue. $2000 later at the Porsche dealer (New Battery, New Controller, New Key)...it was the Key! My old one malfunctioned and locked the car down, A new controller, which had to be programmed manually, was installed to just wake the vehicle up. Once new key was programmed, everything is fine. Third party service contract paid $0 because it was the key. They declined covering the parts necessary, controller and battery because the battery isn't covered and the original controller, though a covered item, did not cause the vehicle breakdown. NOW on the way back from the dealership the oil pressure sensor failure warning light went off....and oil pressure gauge dropped to zero. Car drove fine, pressure gauge functioned again. This happened three of four times. Hasn't happened again. Called dealer and made appointment. This is covered!

WOW, that sucks that at least some of it wasn't covered. But thanks for the update - good knowledge.
