Default One Key?
Anyone else picked up their cars recently and only received one key? Is Porsche sending out the 2nd set by mail or do I need to keep bugging the dealer?

It’s part of the chip shortage problem. You’ll get a second key eventually.

Obviously. You think they’re holding onto keys for fun? Lol. My question was are they mailing these when available?

They only gave me one key and who knows when or how they will send out the second key. Hopefully they will send it with a gift for our inconvenience, though it's really no inconvenience at all as the 2nd partial key I got (no transmitter), just sits in the drawer... along with the 2nd spare keys for my two other cars that I've never used.

Yes only one key here, with a strict warning not to loose it. I was told it could take up to six months but based on recent news, I'm guessing it could take longer.

I normally use both keys for all my cars, since the seat memory is programmed to the keys being used (gf drives my cars). I also keep one key near the garage and another in the kitchen. Today though, couldn't find my keys and drove me nuts. lol. Usually I'll go for the spare in the kitchen (never took the cut key out of the car). I threw on a tile right away after finding the keys and left the cut keys in the kitchen as backup.

Good to know! My dealer didn't want to give me any dates.

I finally got my second key almost a year later. I did not get the emergency blade key with it. Anyone else?

That has also happened to me. I had a discussion service manager, the blade was lost somewhere during the pandemic and the dealer ordered a new blade for me. I haven't picked it up yet but I've heard that it is at the dealership. For me it seems to be an oh never mind.

Mine was not in the glove box. Nobody told me at delivery that there was a blade key supposed to be floating around. But my dealer is an idiot. I want the key so the car is complete when I sell it.
