Porsche ignition key

One day, when I got into my Panamera, I saw an unfamiliar notation on the meter. It reads.Ignition key battery low Ignition key battery replacementIt says, "The

My husband's key has already had the batteries replaced since this notation appeared before. It's been about 2 years since we took delivery of the car, and even though I must have driven the Panamera more often than he has, I wonder how the batteries run down differently even with the same key.

So this time, I decided to try to replace the battery by myself without any help from my husband.

Porsche keys, change batteries!

When I say "changing the battery in a Panamera," I mean "changing the battery in a Panamera."What type of button cell batteries should I prepare?I don't know where to start. In such a case, the owner's manual comes into play, so I looked up the Panamera's vehicle owner's manual on the Internet.

Use (CR 2032, 3 V) for battery replacement.

It was written. I immediately went to a hundred-yen store and purchased button batteries as specified. Then, just to be sure, I decided to replace the batteries according to the instruction manual with my husband watching beside me when he got home.

1. Take out the emergency key.

The first step is to remove the part called the EMERGENCY KEY, which is quite hard. When I was "in theOh no, I can't!", I said to my husband.No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!I tried several times...but my nails are quite long, so I couldn't use my finger tips, and using my fingernails felt like I was going to peel them off.

This is going to peel my nails off! So I asked my husband for help from the very beginning (-_-), and he, too, was very happy to help.

Oh, you're right, it's hard. Mine opened more easily.

And. Is it slightly easier to do this with different keys?

2. Remove the key housing.

Next, remove the screwdriver key housing (chassis) from both sides. This is also quite hard. However, I have a strong grip and arm strength for a woman, and I am confident in my arm wrestling skills.(Does it matter?)I'm sure I can open it, but I can't take it out at all because of these long fingernails...

Again, my husband did it.

3. Remove the battery cover and replace the battery.

Then, after that.Turn the battery cover counterclockwise and remove the button battery.Once the buttons have been replaced, the battery cover is reinstalled, the left and right enclosures of the screwdriver keys are fitted, and the process is complete.

The procedure itself is simple and does not require any great strength, so even a woman should be able to replace the batteries on her own.Not for a woman with long nails.In that case, it might be better to use a flat-blade screwdriver or the like.

Well, it's a shameful situation... (-_-)

By the way, the battery replacement for the ignition key is almost the same for the GT3 and Boxster(slightly different depending on the shape of the key)It seems.

Next time I have to change batteries again, I would like to try again, this time when my nails are short, right after cutting them.
