Teaching remote control

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 immobiliser 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.
