Hi all, I lost my only key to my 89GT. Where can I get some new ones (with proof of ownership of course)?

Thanks, Hammer

 

A Porsche dealer can provide new keys, if the locks are original, of course.

 

Got a photo of the key? If so send it to https://www.keys4classics.com/vehicles/porsche/928/

 

Still? Even for a car this old?

 

Yes, with ownership proof dealer order for you
If you have a key on hand, visit keysforclassics as Rob mentioned above.

 

I used these guys to cut me two new OEM keys. I had to take apart the boot key cylinder and gave them the wafer numbers, that was enough for them to cut the new keys. Worked great!

 

Yes. Ordered keys for both my 1987 S4 and my 1988 CS.
You have to buy new key heads too.

 

Thanks guys. The dealer is hooking me up.

 

Good to hear dealer can do that.
I ALWAYS take a front/ back and side pics of key when I buy, and store pic file away.
Keys4 classics can cut you another key from those pics if/when needed.

 

I only had one key when I got my 1987 4AT, tried the dealer but got a key that was nothing like the one I had, which works every lock on the joint perfectly. The dealer said the success rate for these keys was not high and they weren't going to order them for older cars anymore.
It's straightforward to get a door lock out and read the tumbler plate codes.

If you are running around with just one key it's a great idea to take good clear pictures of it and an even better idea to then order one (or some) from keys4classics before the old torn shorts in which you left the only key get thrown out.

 

Agreed with others - when you receive the key from the dealer, test it to ensure it works, then take pics of both sides and get extras from keys4classics. Note that there may be an alarm key (red) vs. regular key (regular key is black and shorter.) Keys4classics can make you a standard key from the photos of an alarm key.

 

This is a prompt for me to take pictures of my key and store them (on my gmail so available everywhere)
Thanks Bob

 

I don't think that's correct, Red versus Black key.
IIRC the Red key is the Valet key (non Alarm) and is shorter. All Alarm keys are longer to engage the Alarm switch that is an additional section at the end of the Key cylinder.

Edit: not sure when the factory alarm came as standard equipment 1984 or 1985 and up

I stand corrected - @davek9 is correct. I looked at my keys that insert into a lighted fob and those are the ones that are longer.
