I apologize if this has been covered extensively, but I'd like to buy a new key for a 2005 Cayenne S. I searched around this forum and didn't come up with much. Other than eBay, does anyone have any trusted sites that I may source one. I'd be especially interested if it was some site involved with this board.

Thanks all

 

I broke down and bought one on ebay for $25; lighly used (it was the "spare"key). It has not arrived yet.

$170ish @ suncoast parts new
$115 on ebay new

Anyone know how to program the key on an '08 ctt?

 

Thanks, I will check out Suncoast. As for the programming, here is an excerpt from another thread. I am not certain if this will work for an 08:

In order to program a porsche key, you need the PIWIS computer to access KESSY system (the system that handles keyless entry and immobilizer systems). It is NOT possible to program the keys without PIWIS computer.

If you get to use a PIWIS computer, steps are:
1-) Connect the cable to car
2-) Go to KESSY menu
3-) Scan for error codes
4-) Enter new key assignment menu
5-) Enter the number of keys to be programmed
6-) Insert the key that will be programmed
7-) Enter the factory programmed passcode for the key (you need to retrieve this information from Porsche, even dealer don't know it, they request it from Porsche NA)
7-) Cycle the ignition
8-) Voila!
9-) Do the same for the other keys as prompted by PIWIS.

Unlike american cars, where you can program your own keys, it is not possible to do the same for Porsche. What country is that, with no porsche dealer?

 

Thanks for the info! SO much for DIY =(

 

I got my set from sunsetimports, the parts associate name Luke, he is da man you want to talk to!

 

While I'd have no qualm getting parts from Suncoast, programming the new key is obviously a dealer issue. The electronics on these are so expensive to repair risking a discount solution may cost one more!

 

I get home on Thursday I guess I will find out how much my dealership service rep will charge to get the new key set-up. (if anything).

i will keep you guys posted.

 

I bought a new key from Sunset ~$150. Then took it to the dealer for programming - $150 for ~hr of work. Ouch!

 

oh wow,,, Barrier Porsche in Bellevue, WA charged me 1/2 hr to program the key. $70 or $75.

 

Did I mention how much I hate Sunset and how much I look forward to the new dealership opening in Portland? grrrr.

 

WOW.... we have a good relationship with our service guy. My father and i both go to the same dealership. I hope he wont charge!

 

My saleswoman quoted me $600 but then mine is Entry & Drive.

I think you got off cheap at $300.

They wanted $400 for the part and $200 for the labor. I decided I did not need a third key.
