Teaching Remote Control

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2012 Porsche Cayman, 2012 Porsche Boxster, 2011 Porsche Cayman, 2011 Porsche Boxster, and 2010 Porsche Cayman. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Information

If an additional hand-held transmitter is to be taught, for example, all original keys/remote controls must also be used and taught.

If a new hand-held transmitter is taught for a vehicle, the Teach Enable Code (TEC), Transponder password and Transponder Secret Key specified in IPAS must be entered.

You can get the codes from IPAS or from your importer by specifying the vehicle identification number.

During programming, it is essential to guarantee the power supply for the Porsche System tester. It is essential to connect a battery charger with a current rating of at least 40 A to the vehicle battery.

The Porsche System Tester instructions take precedence and in the event of a discrepancy these are the instructions that must be followed. Deviations may occur with later software versions.

The procedure described here has been structured generally, different text or additions may appear in the Porsche System Tester.

Information

Only new hand-held transmitters or those already adapted to the immobilizer system on the vehicle can be taught.
Hand-held transmitters that are already adapted are overwritten, and so all hand-held transmitters that will later be used on the vehicle must be taught.
Teaching of keys is protected over a time period. Once this time has elapsed, teaching is aborted.

The Tester displays the following prompt: Insert key 1 [>>], Insert key 2 [>>], etc. until the relevant number of keys is reached.
Observe Tester information regarding Synchronisation of keys, insert key and press the Lock button on the key for at least 5 seconds when instructed to do so by the Tester.
Wait 5 seconds before switching on the ignition. Switch on the ignition, read out the fault memory of all control units, and erase them if necessary.
Start the engine using each of the keys one after the other. Remote controls have now been taught.
