Hello,

I own a 2012 Porsche Panamera Turbo S and recently while driving randomly I'll get the "Key Not Detected" message in the gauge cluster even though the key is present in the vehicle. I did replace the battery after this warning since I did notice the key would only work in close distance to the car. However this issues still persists of while I am driving the "Key Not Detected" warning will remain in the gauge cluster. If anyone else has had the same issue or give any insight to what it could be, I would be appreciate it greatly.

 

Where are you keeping the key in the car? If I put mine in the center golve I would get the same message.

 

If I have my key anywhere near my Iphone it's guaranteed the same message.

 

Me too! This happens with all cars with Keyless go for some reason

 

Best location is right pocket or center console.

 

I believe the key sensor is located in the arm rest console so having it in your right pocket would be best

 

I keep it in my middle hoodie pocket or right pocket. Just confused mainly because I've owned the car for almost year and never have had this issue until late.

I get that message often. Battery replaced and put in the small left compartment in the arm rest.
still receive the message.

 

i've had this as well, i went from the cheap batteries to an actual brand name battery and problem went away. it also might be a good idea to make sure battery is fresh as far as age is concerned.
