I have just created a nightmare for myself. I lost the only key I had to my 03tt. It is a 6 speed and is unlocked in my garage. The question I have at this time is when I receive my keys cut (not yet programmed), can I insert one into the ignition to unlock the steering, without setting off the alarm? This would make the towing easier. Second, is there anything I need to be carefull of so that I don't have to replace any other parts such as the immobilizer? I know the dealer will have to program the keys.
As a new member, I have found invaluable info in solving other issues with my Porsche. Hope you can help me with this problem.
Thanks to all for your help.

 

Tough luck.
Get a new key from the dealer from your vin# and proof of owenership.
the dealer can send some one to program it to your ECU.
if not
you can disconect the battery and the alam will be off put the new key in to unlock steering and have it flat bed to the dealer for programing.

Good luck

thanks,
I've got the keys ordered. I don't think the dealer is interested in doing a house call, so I'll disconnect the battery and have it towed to the dealer.
