My Cayman only arrived with one key and I'd like to duplicate it. I know this is painfully more expensive than it seems like it should be from the dealership. Any recommendations on a good website to find an OEM 3 Button Key as well as a blank blade (hopefully at a discount)? Also any sense if it's worth it to go with a key cut based on my cars VIN? vs just copying my current key blade onto a blank at a locksmith?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I trying to get a spare as well. I went to 2 locksmiths and both told me the only place to get a key cut is at the dealer, some proprietary tool that they wont share. Went to the dealer, 400 bones, still dont have a spare. I have a slight moral dilemma with spending 400 bux on stupid key that I guess I'm going to have to get over
My independent service shop here in LA sells them. Maybe try an independent shop in your area?
Suncoastparts you can get a blade and fob for 200 bucks then find a dealer that will cut and program for about a 100. Not cheap but I was quoted 550 fron a dealership. I was going to try ebay, Amazon and such but decided that it is too important even if not fun part to skimp out on. Also my wife told me that she be ticked off if I lost this key, had to have the car towed, keys remade, etc.
I would look at Ebay, you will still need to take it to the dealer to be programmed.
Anyone want to take a gamble and buy this tool? Maybe we can all put in $20 and have a group effort. FVDI ABRITES Commander For Porsche

It just feels like there's an opportunity to be absolutely gouged at every level and step of the process. The 3 button key head (not to be confused with the $20 body shells with no internal electronics) The blank blade cutting the blank programming the key head. Literally you feel like your being robbed at ever step.
