can anybody help?
i own a 996 c2 which i bought last june, no problems til yesterday when after returning to my car after playing golf i couldn't open it with the remote and had to open it with the key which set the alarm off until i got the key in the ignition, i have two key fobs both have new batteries, one did work for a few months then stopped working so i used the other until the car was serviced in december and had two new batteries. i took it to porsche sutton coldfield today and they said it was the control unit and with labour and two new key fobs would be £500.
the alarm still works but it goes off every time i open the door which the service manager said shouldn't happen to if it was ok.
anybody had similar problems? or anyone who can think of a less expensive solution very welcome,
i had thought about going to an alarm specialist s to see if it could be repaired?
