i would def. like to meet him and tell him how much it sucks.
It's so embrassing sometimes when you are trying to unlock doors and open the back. Why couldn't they stick to simple design like the BMW where there is one for opening and one for closing/etc.

My wife's Boxster key is the worst...the design is such that when you are walking away from the car, the slightest pressure causes the hood to open...come out the next day and see your damn hood was open all night...

I know, i'm ashamed of it.... big time.. Sometimes I can't get my girlfriend in the car, so she ends up taking a cab... I guess it's not always bad

You think the Cayenne is bad you should check out the key fob for the Aston DB9. They don't even integrate the key with the fob. Completely unacceptable in this day and age.

I dont really know what u mean, because ive never had that problem before. However, I think that the '06 Keys might be different from earlier models because my dealer mentioned something like this to me. Based on my key, i think that the FOB is actually great because it looks like a Cayenne and the buttons are easy to use/no problems.

I have a similar issue with my 997 key. I'm constantly popping the front trunk on accident.

I heard the 06 keys have seperate open/close buttons. as to where the earlier models have one button for both...

They do I just had a loaner and it's got 2 buttons one for open and one for close. They also got rid of the power gas cap release. It locks and unlocks just like my carrera with the doors and you push it open.
