The automotive locksmiths at Car Keys Ottawa just need a few small details about your particular Porsche to determine what type of key you’ll need and we’ll have you back on the road in no time!
No spare? No problem! In most cases, our automotive locksmiths can get a new key fob, smart key, or remote programmed for you in as little as one to two hours. However, it all depends on the year and model of the vehicle in question. We service the following Porsche makes and models:
Porsches have used many different types of keys throughout the years. Keys for some older models made before 2010 can be cut with a standard cutting machine, however, there are some laser-cut keys on newer models that require much more sophisticated equipment. The majority of newer Porsche keys have chips or transponders in them. Cutting the keys to spec isn’t enough, the key will also need to be coded and programmed to work with your vehicle.
Pretty much every new Porsche made in the last five years will come with an intelligent key fob used for your vehicle’s “push to start” ignition system. These are the most highly advanced keys on the market when it comes to security features, which means they are also the most expensive to replace. Whether you call an automotive locksmith or head to a dealer, your new fob will have to be coded and programmed before it works properly.
There are several options for you to get a new Porsche key made:
Make sure you consult a professional about what type of key you need. The year and make of your Porsche will determine whether you need a remote, intelligent fob, or just a regular key.
The most important factors to consider are the type of key you had and the year your Porsche was built. These particular details will determine whether you need a traditional key, a remote for a “push to start” system, an intelligent fob, or a key with a chip. Generally speaking, the newer the car, the more you’ll pay for a replacement key because auto manufacturers are improving security features every year.
Getting your new key directly from the dealer will save you roughly 15% of the initial cost compared to a locksmith. However, consider this: You will also need to pay to have it towed to the dealer where the new key can be programmed, so the final bill is likely to be higher.
Calling up a locksmith is always a convenient option to have, but if you need them outside traditional business hours, your cost could be much higher than you anticipated.
One final factor to consider is your Porsche’s ignition cylinder. If it’s been changed in the past, it could mean the dealer’s code for your vehicle no longer works. So, you’ll have to either call up a locksmith, and even then, you may have to change out your ignition cylinder completely.
