Don't forget the bi-level HVAC and fume-sensing automatic recirc button.

Those are 'short' tons. 2 metric tons are 4400lb.

rijowysock

we make any headway on where to buy these?

If I remember correctly, they must be ordered thru the dealer. It's also like getting a gun permit, they have to make sure you are who you say you are before the order goes thru and it takes a while too.

i guess ill call suncoast tomorrow then, they have had my car there for service before so should have the vin on hand but im guessing ill have to fax in a copy of license and insurance card like i did when i ordered a spare key for my 997.1..

curious on price.. hopefully under 100..

Yeah right. AFAIK, Porsche costs at the dealer service are in $100 increments only. It'll be $100 if we're lucky. $200 if it's a normal day.

No mention of such a key in the ".2" manual and I think I recall my dealer saying that none were available (I asked because I was used the to BMW "wallet" key).

But it would be nice if there was one.

rijowysock

i get mine tomorrow.. ill let you know.. dealer said its only under 06 in the system but he can order for 06 and give new vin so gets cut to the new car.. and just gotta wake it up by putting in ignition or something.

Bijan

The passive memory chip that holds the code for the ignition authorisation, transponder, is molded into the key head. The ECU will normally program it as a clone provided the other master keys are available and have to be inserted first in the ignition. May need the exact procedure for Porsche.

stevepow

cool - can't wait to hear how it goes. pls post the part no. also.

That is true, however, in order to be a successful "player," you have to be a runner.
It's a slippery slope.

rijowysock

anyone ever figure out this procedure.. on my 997.1/997.2 i never got the "spare" programmed because they wanted 200$.. but curious now because i loved the key for the beach/sports.... generally just use to unlock door w/ real fob inside but would be nice to have it work should i need it.

Minok

Good point. But do you even need it programmed at all? If its just cut to be able to mechanically open the door, and you keep the full key hidden but in easy access inside the door, could you then use the cut spare to open the door, retrieve the hidden real key inside, and be able to shut off the alarm before it makes too much of a racket? (or would it, given you locked the door with the spare key, never arm the alarm?)

rijowysock

only arms if you use key to lock, i used to lock w/ key then toss key in and then close.. then alarm goes off when unlock w/ plastic


i've done the plastic twice, but always wish it worked for "just incase"
