Call a locksmith and bring $$$; rekeying Porsches is not cheap.

The only way - go to your local Porsche dealer with your VIN number and proof of ownership, they can make duplicate key with proper codes to work.

A lock smith will do nothing since the Porsche key has a transponder in it and the car will not start without it. Only way to get a new key is the dealer.

The car will need to go to the dealer for re-coding. The key will only open the door, not start it until recoded.
