Picked up my 1996 Cab last night and I need a spare key do these car need to go to the dealer and be programed? Thanks

The key itself is conventional, and has no electronics. Probably available from any key shop. The key fob, however, must be matched to the car and requires programming. probably a dealer item.

Thanks, looks like a road trip for me.

FYI. You can get the programming code for your specific car from the Porsche dealer and program the remotes yourself. Up to 4 remotes can me programmed into the unit.

Programming instructions are on Rennlist and in the Porsche Repair Manual.

Great thanks

programming them yourself is possible but many (including myself found it difficult). meanwhile since you are in So Oregon do you get to Bend? Carrera Motors in Bend programmed my fob no charge - took 2 minutes. Sunset (where I bought the fob) wanted 30 min of shop time. Carrera is a great dealer (and many of the Porsche dealers are not that great). I sure miss driving Oregon roads! enjoy your Porsche!!! You know pics are required of your new car - congrats!!!!

I'll get some pics posted and yes Carrera in Bend was the road trip I was thinking about.
