Boxster 986 keys stolen
My unused 18 year old, spare set of x2 986 Boxster keys have been stolen from the house and this means they could return and get the car, if it wasn't blocked in on my drive. I still have the other (main) key that was used most of the time. I guess the cost and time to replace all the keys, door lock and ignition barrel switch and get them reset with the ECU would be a lot even if they were second hand?
Temporarily, I was thinking of removing the fuel pump fuse, C4 30amp as I have been told by a specialist this renders the car undriveable quite quickly and even stops the engine from running! But would that do any damage or induce warning lights and fault codes? The other idea was to fit a wheel clamp on the car or a steering wheel lock as a deterrent. Any better ideas or thoughts would be a help...
In the long term, is it possible to buy a new (blank) spare key and get it cut to fit the door and ignition BUT also reprogram both keys and the existing ECU with a new, different code so that the original (stolen keys) will not open or start the car? But I realise that this still means the thief could still get in manually with the keys he has!
