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.

lost my key in the airport this week. Have a valet key as a backup and so would like to replace the primary. I know you can buy the head and the blank and then pay the dealer to program it. What's the cheapest protocol to put it all together. Checked paragon and they don't sell them. Thanks guys
Get the Full Key (Head & Blade) from Suncoast or Sonnen Porsche for Less than any Dealer. But you will have to take it to your Local Dealer to Program it. It should be 1/2 hour Labour. Also any Porsche Indy that has the Porsche Factory Computer/Software should be able to program it for your As well.
Yes, but he asked for the cheapest way to get a NEW key. That would just mean that he found his old key. How boring is that?
That would not be the cheapest way to get a new key.
They cheapest way to get a NEW key is for someone to buy it for you...or steal it...although I don't condone the latter, which could actually get very expensive if you wind up needing a lawyer. Never mind, just get someone to buy it for you.

With a responsible job, needy wife and three kids I really don't get enough sarcasm in the daily course of events. Very appreciative of you guys catching me up! Have an email into the Brits per the thread a few weeks ago. Thanks for the tip
Are you kidding? All apart of the fun. I've gone from being a daily viewer to monthly and so I miss some stuff. Contacted the guys in the post he referenced so I'm on my way ...Just being a smart *** back. :-)
I bought the cheap key head without transmitter and blank blade. Had the dealer cut the blade...and not even that was cheap...but a helluva lot cheaper than getting the transmitter programmed.
I feel you wife lost her key set wile on vacation last year dealer wanted just about 600$ to replace and reprogram. My local inde matched suncoast for the parts and charged me 125$ for the program total cost was 276$
Have you guys tried a locksmith? i had

do mine and my key was entirely lost. Took a little bit of time but they did it for around $300 much cheaper then the dealer.
lets pretend it isnt a troll/scam.
Isnt a dealer key ordered and programmed for ~$350 anyway? how it is much cheaper? for 50 bucks ill go to the dealer so that i can be certain it works AND have that 'porsche' stamp on the top of the invoice AND drink all thier coffee.
I just ordered two keys from Sunset Porsche as my original key's circuit boards have been dead for a while. I figured I may as well get 2 keys made instead of one while the dealership is going to charge me for an hour's labor to program.
With almost any brand's smart key you can waste a lot of time and spend a lot of money and still wind up with a solution that does not work. I'd spend the extra $50 and have the dealer do it every time.
