Remote central locking not working

[keiran connolly]

Hi All

Just purchased a 997 3.8s and can not get the car to lock via remote. I have changed the battery on the fob and opened/closed car with key but still no success 

Appreciate any input

Have you tried your second key?

Try reversing the battery for a few seconds - remove it - insert it the proper way and then try it.

How old is the car's battery? If it is 4 years old or older I would strongly consider replacing it.

Thanks for the reply. Will give that a try later today and come back with the outcome
