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.
������ - if there is a market for this I certainly don’t need a third key.

These keys have always been expensive. We learned the hard way back the first summer we had the wife’s 02 A6. One of us dumped the ice out of a fabric cooler bag into the Atlantic at the end of a day of boating. Unfortunately her keys were in the side pocket. They aren’t waterproof...

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.
