Low battery in key fob after just 1,000km ???...........

[JerShanMan39]

I've now put on about 1,000kms on my Macan Turbo and have just received my second "replace battery in key" message. The first one, I thought maybe the battery it came with was old, so I replaced with a brand new Energizer battery. Now, after about 3 weeks, I'm getting the "replace battery" message. There is no way that a battery of that kind can die so quickly in a key fob.

Anybody else have this issue??

Do you have "Comfort Access" or not?

Does this happen with both keys or the same one?

Maybe just a defective key fob? My Taycan used to send me that warning a lot. I also know the fobs are finicky about the exact battery used, I can't remember what the recommendation was with the Taycan.

if you have two keys, did you change the battery in both? or just one?
