Key conundrum

We have a 2014 958 Platinum Edition Cayenne. Occasionally my key will not operate remotely at all. Lights flash on fob when a button is pressed, but nothing is unlocking/ no boot opening.

I then have 2 options. If Mrs RCS is about i can use her key to unlock the KN remotely. If i then put my key in the ignition and turn on it works fine - and its remote functionality has returned.

Option 2 if Mrs RCS is not around is to open the door using the blade (hands up all those who know where the key lock is :lol: ), and then ignition bit again.

When my key isn't working the light flashes match those of the working key, so seems the fob is transmitting, i.e. not a battery problem

Anyone any clues? Its very irregular, usually only when you're in a hurry!! It bears no relation as to how long the vehicle is parked/not used - I'm familiar with remotes going to sleep from having had a 997 and a 986, and it isn't that, as Mrs RCS's key is rarely used.

I can get the OPC to have a look when its next there in about 2 months, but i like to have an idea before they start playing with it.
