2018 Panamera Lost key
i lost one of my original key fobs between Santa Monica, CA and Corpus Christi, TX. Costs $385 to replace plus $85 labor at dealer to code. Haven’t bought the replacement yet, but I’ve ordered Tiles from Amazon for the one I have remaining. Limited tracking via Bluetooth.

Wow, I had no clue a replacement cost that much. I just got my 2018 4S and on one of the two keyfobs I got the red lighting around the Porsche symbol wasn’t lighting up so I asked about it and they checked it out, said it works fine other than the light not working and ordered me a brand new one. And, gave me the non-lighting keyfob back to keep as a third key.

Pays to have friends of someone in the business! Only cost me $155 including programming the key for a new remote. Only got 1 key with my Panny that I bought from a non Porsche used car purchase. Actual cost about 350-400. Saved me a bunch.
