Default Keys Arrived From Australia

My backup set of keys are here and they both work fine on the 91 S4.
Not cheap, but a lot easier to order than try Porsche with the VIN# method. Could not find anyone in South Fla. that would cut keys to my 2 blanks I had.

Keys4classics.com came through using my jpg pics I emailed to them.
Thanks Stuart for a job well done.

We have been using Stuart for a number of years now and every key fitted.

Porsche failure rate on cutting to VIN terrible. So as long as you have a key you are good to go.
Worth keeping a picture of your key on file in case thew worst happens.

I would say "not cheap" compared to the price of a key for my Toyota; but very reasonable compared to what the few others that can cut a 928 key charge.

There was a young fellow cuting Porsche keys at Sharktoberfest last year at 928 International. I didn't find out much about him; but he sure seemed busy cutting keys. I think I will take some of mine this year, if I make it, and have him cut them for me, if he is there again. I kind of thought he was probably connected to Mark's business, but don't know for sure. I am pretty sure he was using actual keys to duplicate, so I don't know what he might be able to do with pictures of keys.

Tony Euganeo in Sharon Hill, PA is another option.

He duplicated my key and shipped it back to me within a week.

55.00 key duplication
1.00 extra battery for key light
6.00 return shipping

26.00 Porsche key blank 944 538 041 00, I purchased separately - I believe Tony has them as well.

Jerry,

This is exactly how Keys4Classics does their keys! You send them a high rez pic of your key and they will cut you a new one and have it in your hands in 10 days or less!

SO, if you have your keys out and you see someone taking a pic of them...BE VERY AFRAID!
