I searched and found conflicting info, some say it comes with 2 master keys + valet others say no valet key?

I got 2 master keys plus the dummy key for the entry and drive system.

any advice would be appreciated,
thanks

I only received two master key for my 05.

Thanks, I guess there is no valet key then.
seems strange for a $97K car....

You should have received two master keys plus the spare key plus the Entry & Drive key (if you have that option.)

There is a valet key. It looks similar to the Entry and Drive minus the big rounded head, almost like a boxster or 996 valet key but made entirely of plastic.

Are we on the same page by referring to a valet key as one with limited functionatily? Otherwise its just a spare key. I have an '04 w/2 masters/1 plastic spare key.

I don't have Entry & Drive, and I don't have any plastic spare key.

It should look like this.

Hmm... I only have 2 master keys, the plastic entry and drive key, but no key like the one pictured above, I wonder if they changed that for '05 or my dealer forgot?

I suggest reading your manual. All of the included keys are pictured in mine.

Cayennes do NOT come with valet key. Folks CONFUSE spare key for a dedicated valet key! Spare key is NOT a valet key! Spare key is pictured above and IT'S PURPOSE is to be spare and FIT into wallet...That's IT.

The purpose of a valet key IS to operate car without be able to operate trunk and glove compartment...to protect against VALET GUYS. It's idea works FOR sedans. But in case of an SUV...trunk is still UNPROTECTED and easily accessible by VALET GUY.

For example, BMW 540, 740 and M5 have SIMILAR small plastic key - WALLET SPARE key.
IN ADDITION 540, 740 and M5 also have DEDICATED another key, called VALET KEY, which looks like normal METAL key without electronics and buttons and BIGGER than completely PLASTIC spare wallet key...

On a contrary, for example, BMW M3 does NOT have a dedicated valet key. They "saved money" on this item, by NOT providing dedicated valet key, but by combining these functions in one spare key. And it's STILL is not a DEDICATED GOOD valet key, in my opinion! BMW says, that in M3 you CAN use spare key as a valet key.

Seems like, further we go into the modern age, German car manufacturers further SAVE MONEY on a necessary items...

Is it for better or for worse?...

05's are only coming in with two master keys, 04's also have the spare

nealM

Thanks, any idea why there is no longer a spare?
Could the dealer order me one?

not sure why Porsche stopped shipping them, but you should be able to get additional keys through the dealer
