So, after about 2 days and 3 visits to the dealership, here is the fix.
Symptom:
Randomly, both key fobs will stop working. However, the keys will still lock/unlock and start the car.
Have tried to no avail:
Replace batteries on both fobs
resync both keys (stick in ignition, press and hold unlock)
reassign keys at dealership
check all fuses (note, the alarm control module with the 15A fuse under the driver seat does not exist on 987's)
Solution:
Perform vehicle handover at dealership THEN resync both keys. No idea why this worked (Porsche mechanics didn't either), but this was a $150 solution that you now know for free. Ugh!!
Caveat:
To properly resync, stick the key in the ignition but do not turn it. Press and hold the unlock button until the red flashing light on the unlock button on the middle console goes away.
Hopefully this will save time for people who searched far and wide on Google for this problem like I did.
Cheers!
