Battery
Your Porsche's key system is dependent on the battery. If your key fob has problems, it must be replaced. The battery can be replaced using the use of a screwdriver. It should take less than five minutes to complete.
The battery for the key fob can be found on a small, plastic "post" that is attached to the base of plastic housing that is surrounded by buttons. You can remove it using a small screwdriver with a flat head.
Next, you will need to take out the battery's negative terminal. This can be difficult because the metal is very delicate and may bend out of shape when you try to pull it out so it's recommended to put a flat-headed screwdriver under the post and pull it up and out of its slot.
You should also see a positive battery terminal which is the part that connects to the metal body of your key. You can remove this using an incredibly small screwdriver and it will come out.
If your key does not work with the new battery, you may need to bring it to the dealership for a programming. This can be done at the local dealer and will typically cost you around 100 dollars. Furthermore, the dealer will need the radio codes from your vehicle to complete the job.
Once you have your key programmed and tested, make sure that it is working correctly. You should be able to open and lock the doors with your new key. If you're unable do so it is likely that your key is damaged.

Transponder
A transponder key is the most technologically advanced type of car keys available on the market. It communicates with the receiver within your car using RFID (Radio Frequency ID) technology. Your vehicle will be freed and started if the transponder key matches the unique digital serial numbers stored in the receiver.
It's safer than a regular remote-key as thieves cannot use the wrong transponder to unlock your car's doors. It also blocks thieves from hot wiring your vehicle, which is how many car thieves are able to steal your keys.
The best thing about this technology is that you'll never have to worry about losing a transponder device because it will always be safe in your vehicle. It is also extremely difficult to break, which makes it a safer alternative than an ordinary remote key.

There are a variety of ways to determine if your Porsche 997 has a transponder. To begin you must examine the front of your car. It will be a rectangular mark with the letters T & E. This will tell you whether your car has transponder technology and, if so it will be marked with the T.

It's an issue to accomplish right as it can be difficult to get the positive battery terminal to pop out. To remove the terminal take a flat-head screwdriver underneath it from the front. Then, push it upwards. Once you've done this it's time to pull the transponder out of the casing.
