I only have one key for the car and it's the remote one. And yes, the coil is still there.

Why don't Porshce owners have both keys for you when you buy the car?

Sorry I couldn't help. A spare key (with the head) runs about $120 for the blade and $50 for the head. I have heard that some lock smiths can copy the blade and you can get a new cap from Sunset...but a dealer will still have to program the car to the key. I think Sunset also sells remote entry heads.

Good Luck

Viper, what year is your car? This is from the 2003 Owner's Manual:

1) unlock door with key

2) Leave the door closed

3) Press the "lock" button on your key fob

This will reactivate your key.

I don't know what FOB, but I will assume you mean hit the unlock key from the key itself. I'll try and report back.

Viper, I just simply meant key fob:

In the Porsche manual, they call the button #1.
