Trying this on my Porsche 911 Carrera 4 later. Will report back.

Will this work for older Porsche 911 Carrera 4s? Mine's a 2009.

Great info! Needed this for my old Porsche 911 Carrera 4.

I’m not alone! My Porsche 911 Carrera 4 is doing the same thing.

Common causes: dead battery (most common), water damage, internal circuit damage, or the fob lost synchronization with your car. Try replacing the battery first. If that doesn't help, the fob may need reprogramming or replacement.
