Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

Great day. Bought a 1999 996, Black on Black. It's the third car that I had inspected. 2 questions (many more to come):
1. Where can I find an owners manual?
2. My Key Remote does not work. Is there an option to buy another one other than from a dealer?
3. Also, I am going to need an extra key. Again, is there an option other than from a dealer?
Thanks.
Awsum car, I just got mine as well. I feel like a newlywed. We're on our honeymoon!
How many options, miles, other details? Ive heard you can buy a manual from dealer for $15 Keys are very expenisive.
Owner's manual can be downloaded from RennTech

Key & Key head can be purchased from dealership, and a programming is needed, so the part cost about $100-150, and you figure in another $100ish to pay for the labor... so $300 sounds right... remote key heads is available of sunset... probably the BEST price you can ever find...

keys are about 500 bucks!! I had only one key and it stopped working (remote).....went to the ST(d)ealer....ofcourse the key wasn't programmable anymore...I ad to buy 2 new keys....BUT they only charged me on time program (machine) charges....total 450 or so.....and to be honest..I don't even know where the 2nd key is right now!!
Nice Black Beauty! Congrats!
I just got an extra remote key from the dealer for a total of $330.
I checked before and seems you can only get it done at the dealership.
Dealer told me keys bought off ebay are not able to be programmed by them,
it has to be a "virgin" key with its original code.
I bought my last two key heads from this ebay'er 2 for $150 I think took them to the dealer for programming and cutting. You have no other options. Call around if you have multiple dealers in your area the price may vary. BTW ONLY buy key heads on ebay if they have the tag that goes with the head. It can only be programmed with the info provided on that tag.

This may be a dumb question, but the remote key on another one of my cars actually charges while in the car or in use. While in for warranty work, the dealer puts it into a key reader and gets all the info such as mileage and history off the key.
Do Porsche keys work the same way? I've got 2 keys. If I just use one and keep the other as a spare, is this key going to loose its charge? Thanks in advance.
I'm very curious, what type of car is it that recharges the key? And if you put 20k on the primary key but then hand them the extra key at the dealer, what are they gonna get out of it?
