Porsche Entry and Drive

Porsche Entry & Drive

The Porsche Entry & Drive system is offered as an optional step-up in convenience (ID- Number for all models); this system offers, in addition to the "Ignition Lock with Single- key System" described above, keyless operation of the vehicle. Porsche Entry & Drive consists of a system using interior and exterior antennas, an integrated identification generator in the vehicle transmitter, proximity sensors as well as a locking button in the exterior door handle surrounds. The driver carries an ID sender (electronic mini transmitter emitting an identification code), which is integrated into the vehicle key. Access to every door is possible using "Porsche Entry." Proximity sensors are located in the exterior door handles; approaching the vehicle initiates the identification process when the handles are touched. Antennas in the spoiler receive the transmitted code, then by the driver authorization system (integrated into the so-called KESSY control module), decoded, and then compared with a preprogrammed code consisting of up to eight stored keys before the door may be opened. Positive identification of the ID sender carried by the driver within a specified time period allows the door to be opened.

The engine may only be started if the clutch pedal is pressed in vehicles with manual transmission, or if the shift lever of automatic transmission vehicles is set to "P" or "N.

After the driver has entered the vehicle, an additional identification process is initiated when the ignition switch is turned. The engine can be started only after this process has a positive result.







The vehicle is locked from the outside by operating a locking switch on the exterior door handle. As with unlocking, the user ID is queried, and the vehicle is locked upon positive identification. At the same time both the immobilizer and steering column lock are activated.
