Check with Suncoast Porsche (board sponsor on the right side banner) or www.sunsetimports.com

Both have very good prices for new parts.

Don't forget you need it cut and program it. I believe the cutting can be done either at an Audi or Porsche dealer. The programming needs to be done by Porsche using their equipment. They need to get the actual code from PCNA based on the VIN of the car. I think they need your car to program the key.

Bottom line: The actual key is typically just half of the cost. Cutting and programming make up the other half. Figure close to $300 complete.

I was quoted about $300 as well. Decided I could manage with just 1 key.

I would just go to your local Porsche Dealer and suck it up and pay for it. Long term you will want to have, especially if you loose one.

Heck, a few bucks saved here and there add up - get in touch with Steve and save some coin.

And if you want a Black leather Porsche Crest key ring to go with it I have an extra - $20 shipped.
