I’ve watched a few salvage rebuilds videos where they have got an auction car with no keys and the locksmith they use has a device which inserts into the lock which has tumblers to turn which gives a code to use to cut a new key.

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.

Hi All,
I bought the car with only one key and now stupidly I have lost that !!! Can anyone advise on the best method forward ? Loads of stuff advertised on e-bay etc but I believe it will have to be re-programmed so a specialist needs to come to the car?
Thanks
Do you have AA or lost key cover in the insurance? I had to have my Mini taken to the dealer for a new key to be coded. Old one is at bottom of Thames....
There's a late brake show video on YouTube - where Johnny Smith is having issues with his cheap Boxster - he used these guys
https://birminghamcarkeys.co.uk
He's recommended them on the podcast too - so might be worth a call (depending on where in the country you are)
Hi All,
Thanks for all the response but still no joy. Its the type of key that is inserted into the dashboard so my question is if I get a locksmith to open the car via the lock under the door handle what will this achieve besides the obvious of getting in the car? Will the alarms actuate? Will it free the brakes and the steering? Porsche OEM garage wont come out as they say they are not equipped and neither will Porsche assist ! So I am in a bit of a mess! I am based in Oxfordshire so the Birmingham crowd mentioned in previous email wont come out!
Any help gratefully received !!
Many thanks
A right idiot !!
Hi
I used this chap from Scotland he travels the UK with his van replacing Porsche keys
07762 725041 i cant remember his name, great service he provides a new key or 2 and removes an ecu from your car and hooks it up to the kit in his van and 40 minutes later a fully working key fob however may be a problem with a key blade if you don’t have one to copy.

A very long shot
Call pollards in Chesterfield. They used to be the key cutting company that Porsche used.
They may be able to help you with a key, or a route forwards
I’ve watched a few salvage rebuilds videos where they have got an auction car with no keys and the locksmith they use has a device which inserts into the lock which has tumblers to turn which gives a code to use to cut a new key.
One video he demonstrates it taking him around a couple of minutes to make the new key, then a bit longer to plug in a laptop and reprogram and start the car, but its quite impressive to see the skills locksmiths have.
