I am the primary driver of our Cayenne and when I could not locate my key I used hers. My key was programmed to open all doors, horn + lights for alarm. Hers wasn't so I set hers to those settings. Then my key lost those settings, I did this back and forth. Once I changed the setting for one key the other key went back to just lights for alarm and only driver door opening. Well this morning when I locked the car the horn was absent. On my way home I went to adjust the settings and I lost the "Comfort" selection in the menu. I clicked reset to factory and it did not work. Anyone know what happened and how to get it back on my menu?

Thanks

Funny -- I just spoke to the dealer about this today -- I was in for other reasons. I have an '04 Cayenne S. Try new batteries in your remotes -- very easy to do then go through the drill of resetting what you want per key. My wife's key keeps her seat and mirror settings (as does mine) but the door open and honk sound always comes back for my key. I can live with it -- as long as the seat and mirrors are fine. The dealer said if I had both keys with me he can reconfigure on his system. I did not have both keys with me and it's not a big enough deal for me to make a return trip.

As to your absent menu settings -- when you state, "on my way home" I take it that you were in motion. When the Cayenne is in motion many of the menu settings are intentionally disabled and not seen for safety reasons. Try again with the vehicle in Park/stopped.

No it simply disappeared, usually when in motion it is just greyed out so you can not access. My key also has a new battery, this is just weird

I would do a key reprogramming to start with, don't forget to submit ALL the available car keys to the service manager, he will need them all.
