Andy has a great write up on key fob programming Make sure all openings are closed, before trying. I'll let you guess how i know.. enjoy the new ride.
Please post a photograph of the Porsche key "with the squarish hole in the middle." Not necessarily the key, but the keyhead. The key itself can be copied from a photograph. Thank you!!

What is an "emergency key" and what does an "emergency key" look like? This is referenced in CT Mike's original post.
Thank you!!

Thank you!!

Good question. I assumed it was a physical key without the fob. So you would need to enter the demobilizer code manually prior to a start. Not exactly sure why anyone would want such a key.

403portside. Assuming we can get them I’m going to use Porsche original shocks. On my previous 88 911 I went for stiffer suspension: bilstein shocks, larger diameter torsion and sway bars, mild performance bushings and lowered the car to Euro spec. I’m looking to keep this car closer to stock although it has 19” HRE wheels. Perhaps it’s that I’m getting older. I joked with my mechanic who suggested lowering it and I said I think I might want to raise it a couple of inches to make it easier to get in and out of.

Go back to 18" or 17" for ride comfort and lower to ROW or ROW sport(RS+ 10mm max lowering.) Plenty of options on set up with:

1. M033 springs and koni shocks for a softer ride
2. M030 springs with Bilstein B8?(The more adjustable one between B6 or B8)

Where did you decide to take yours to get the strap fixed?

European Import Service in Watch Hill, RI. The procedure they follow is the one shown in the PCA website video.
