If you want to get even more confused check out this thread: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/comfort-access-not-working.3973/post-54554 - note that @W1NGE states "Comfort settings are stored with your Porsche Connect ID" which would fit with your experience that the functionality...
Personally, I'd ignore the "(FOD)" reference - I suspect it means you don't have comfort access (my app just shows "comfort access"; no mention of "keyless-go").
For giggles you might like to check out this (old!) thread: (12) Taycan auto opening without comfort access | TaycanForum -- Porsche...
OK, so I guess your tax was due at the end of March anyway, right? - otherwise renewing would have given you 12 months from START of March, so expiring end Feb 2026.
Good advice, @Murph7355 - head to Taxing a vehicle - GOV.UK and have your V5C handy. Ignore the warnings that your vehicle is already taxed and you'll be taxed to end February 2026 for the sum of £ZERO.
I think you've confirmed our (collective) suspicion that the feature you now don't have was enabled through feature-on-demand by the previous owner. Where I think you've confused both your dealer and Porsche is talking about "keyless-go". Now you know it's "comfort access" you're having trouble...
What your describe is Comfort Access, not Keyless Go. If you only have one button in the boot your car didn't come from the factory with Comfort Access but it might have been added FOD.
Keyless-Go means you don't have to insert the key anywhere to start the car, just have it with you. I think...
Can't I ask what exactly stopped working?
Note what that "keyless go" is not the same as "comfort access". I also see "FOD" (function-on-demand) in your pic which might be relevant.
How many buttons do you have inside the tailgate? - 1 (close) or 2 (close and close-n-lock)?
I had Burmester in 2 970 Panameras which were both great, then moved to a 971 Panamera with Bose and I always thought it sounded rubbish. Last year I traded to a MY23 GTS Taycan with Bose and it's a huge improvement on the Panamera Bose.
The advantage of leasing is you know up-front what the limit of your liability (loss) will be. Buying outright means you're gambling on the future value, assuming you intend to sell at some point.
When I bought mid last year the car I found was not yet advertised so it's worth talking to the dealers - where you are you have the choice of Porsche Centre Bristol and Swindon, both the same group (Dick Lovett) so the stock will be the same; they also have Newport and Tewkesbury centres. I'd...
