You can purchase a new Porsche key with keyless entry and have it programmed to the car. It will cost around $400 for the key and programming.
Thank you.

I'll pick up the 2 batteries for the fob... and 1 for the key (led).

Yes... the new Porsche fob. ~$400 when last I checked. However...

Can't I just purchase another fob identical to the one I have... and have it paired to my system? Is that the same process as the Porsche fob? Is that a dealer visit?

Further... I revisited the internals of the key. I found no identifying information (like the barcode so another key/fob could be registered). Watcha think?

Thank you, again.
