Default Interesting find under my driver's seat

Hey All,

I finally got my 993 a few weeks ago. I was doing an interior detail tonight and while I was looking under the driver's seat, I found this medallion from Porsche Customer Commitment. Anyone know about these?

Dan

I got one with my car I presumed that it was for lost keys. Which wouldn't help much if you lost them under the seat and

Neat little surprise. Do those numbers match any part of the VIN at all? It is for lost keys, I wonder if it's tied to the VIN or just random numbers assigned to the purchaser.

not sure last 6 of my vin is 323189 my key tag is 11323 maybe the op can post his last 6.

It came in tiny ziplock attached to a leaflet that says to please use attached form to update any change of address etc so that your 'lifetime key protection' remains intact.

The numbers on the pendant don't match my vin at all. I'm the 3rd owner of the car, I wonder if the offer from porsche still holds. Something tells me it may not.

on the part where you update the address info it has check boxes for if your vehicle was purchased new or used and also for date acquired - no limitations or restrictions printed.

It came with the car when it was new. Mine is still on my key ring and has been since May 1996. If you have it on your key ring and lose your keys and somebody drops it in the mail, PCNA could find you and return your keys.

That needs to be located on a thick gold chain, open shirt, positioned just above navel (as most owners in the 80's and 90's did).

Although non ferrous - still a lady magnet!

I just like that the first car in the line is a 356. :-)

My original Merkur XR4Ti key chain is similar, though it's a Merkur logo on the front with "Drop in any mailbox. Return postage guaranteed." and a Michigan address on the back.

Wow, you have very large hands.

Not much else to add of benefit on this.

Other than I don't have one of these, and wish I did because they look cool and have a 993 on them.

Way cool....as jotaking noted above there could be a potential retro dress code for 993 owners
