How to Replace the Battery in a Porsche Key?
2 Answers
Here is the method for replacing the battery in a Porsche car key: 1. Prepare the car key that needs its battery replaced. 2. Turn the key over, and you will see a sliding lock on the back; slide it to the right. 3. After unlocking the sliding lock, press and slide upwards to remove the mechanical key. 4. Once the mechanical key is removed, you will see a gap; lift the cover upwards from this gap. 5. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. Additional Information: Porsche is a luxury car brand under the German Volkswagen Group. Taking the Porsche Cayenne as an example: it is a mid-to-large-sized SUV with dimensions of 4918mm in length, 1983mm in width, and 1696mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2895mm. The vehicle is equipped with two twin-turbocharged engines: a 2.9T V6 and a 4.0T V8, with maximum power outputs of 324kw and 404kw respectively, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Recently, my car key stopped working properly—the remote lock button wasn’t responding, so I figured the battery was dead. Grab a small screwdriver or nail clipper and gently pry open the key casing along the side seam. Inside, you’ll find a round coin-cell battery, usually a CR2032. When I removed the old one, I noticed the negative side was facing up. Head to the supermarket to buy an identical replacement, insert it with the positive side facing outward, and snap the casing back together. Test it by standing close to the car and pressing the button—if the indicator light turns on, you’ve succeeded. The whole process takes just minutes, saving you a trip to the dealership, and the battery costs just a few bucks. The key casing is plastic, so pry gently to avoid breaking the clips. I’ve replaced mine twice—it’s convenient and cost-effective. Battery lifespan depends on usage frequency, typically lasting about two years before needing replacement.
