My misses started whinging that she could not lock the Macan as "the key had gone flat".

My first thought was "Wimmin, she has stuck her finger nail through the rubber"

But no, as usual it's not her fault... It never is.

Has anyone ever had a key go flat before?
Do you think its a warranty issue?
Do you think we should carry an inflatable space saver in the boot for such emergencies?

I'll let you know what Hatfield Porsche say tomorrow as its going in for a PCM update.

Very strange - I didn't realise that the buttons are soft rubber until I just checked mine. Looks like the press switch underneath is actually stuck down too (hence locking problems), so I'd be asking for a new key.
Perhaps ask them if you can also keep the old key also, then have a go at fixing it yourself according to this fun guide! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqMTCsgEi9Y

Thanks Guy,
I'm a bit embarrassed about swaggering around with my silly Macan keys ...
even though I don't play golf.
Its like a plastic dinky toy.

We should have tough 4x4 keys with attitude and a discrete Porsche logo rather than toy cars.
Then I would not feel such a wally at the swinger parties.
