Original Keyheads
Hi everyone,
I've been going through the 928 Forum (read pages 401-988 so far!) Lot's of great information!
A question about the keys that I haven't been able to figure out.
What I've ascertained so far:
1) Don't go to the Porsche dealer. Slow and the keys don't fit.
2) Go local if you can to get keys cut.
3) Some (or all ) of the big 3 used to cut keys. Not clear who is doing it at this point.
So my question is, where can I get original blanks. Not the ones that have keyheads that look like they're from Wal-Mart, but the real ones?
The only key that came with my 86.5 928S was an original, for which I replaced the keyehad only.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
