Got the Brittish key and had it programmed a year ago? Works great

 

The dealer in my area won't program the key unless you purchase said key there. Total cost here is about $350

 

Find yourself a new dealer

 

I feel you wife lost her key set wile on vacation last year dealer wanted just about 600$ to replace and reprogram. My local inde matched suncoast for the parts and charged me 125$ for the program total cost was 276$

 

Have you guys tried a locksmith? i had www.LocksmithOfLosAngeles.com do mine and my key was entirely lost. Took a little bit of time but they did it for around $300 much cheaper then the dealer.

 

^^^^ sounds like a troll and advertising. So this locksmith can also program Porsche keys?

 

lets pretend it isnt a troll/scam.
Isnt a dealer key ordered and programmed for ~$350 anyway? how it is much cheaper? for 50 bucks ill go to the dealer so that i can be certain it works AND have that 'porsche' stamp on the top of the invoice AND drink all thier coffee.

I just ordered two keys from Sunset Porsche as my original key's circuit boards have been dead for a while. I figured I may as well get 2 keys made instead of one while the dealership is going to charge me for an hour's labor to program.

 

They did program my key actually... Thanks for the love guys lol

 

With almost any brand's smart key you can waste a lot of time and spend a lot of money and still wind up with a solution that does not work. I'd spend the extra $50 and have the dealer do it every time.
