Look in the manual to see how to make the car "learn" the remote's code. Failing that, look for a box with lot of wires under a seat or find where computer that controls that is in your car. Press the learn button on the box, and push the door lock button on the remote a couple times.

I have a porsche cayenne s 04 i am having problem with the immoblizer active and it won,t start

You will need to have the security system control module scanned to see why it is being falsely signaled to lock out the engine. Most likely the key sensor or the key has failed, try a spare key if you have one, also replace the battery in the remote if you never have just to be sure.

1999 911 Porsche hood latch wont pull up to open fron hood

On the 996 and 997 there is a panel on the drivers side footwell that has a fuse panel and exposes a red positive terminal that pulls out slightly. You can connect the positive lead from a battery or charger to this terminal and the negative lead to a convenient ground spot like the door catch.

I removed the battery for the winter from my 996 and went through this process in the Spring when I realized my mistake.

I have a porsche boxter 986 year 2000 and can not open the bonet

you need to pull the C3 fuse and insert a wire and then put the fuse back in.
connect the neg ground to the metal steering column and the positive to the wire. close the car door and turn the door key on and off three times. open the door and now the hood latch will work.

Key stuck

your ignition switch has gone bad... it will need replacing... there is an identical part made by AUdi that is much cheaper as well... tell your mechanic you would like it instead of the Porsche OEM one
