Thats interesting brcause when I picked my new 997 up I got 2 keys and not the, I think you would call master key. Its a red one I think? Do they keep hold of the third key then charge you again for it if needed?

I just got a brand-new shiny key cut for my '88 turbo at my local (Lancaster) OPC. The little light works in this one too!

Took 10 minutes (while I dribbled over the new boxster) and cost £35.50

Thanks Globulator, Bolton is nearer so I'll get a price from them if not Lancaster here I come!

I may be wrong but, the 88' key will literally be the key. The key for the 996 has all the transponder gubbins/thingymibobs built into it for the alarm/immobiliser. That is about 250 inc vat from opc.....

Yes, it's £15ish for the blank metal, £15ish for the head with the light in.

IIRC the 993 is £67 and the price goes up as they load more stuff into the key, I'd expect (like all makes of car) transponder keys to cost much more.

My equivalent is the key + the alarm transponder thingy also on my keyring..

Gonna ring Porsche Bolton now so will let you know!

OK I have the old key so Porsche Bolton say they will reuse the "blade", the "head" is £70 and the programming is about £70 too, plus an hours visit where I have to stare at a new 997 and not buy one!
