Door lock problem

[vath2001]

When it happened to me, the car was locked and my key stayed in the door at 3 o'clock. The dealer in St Pete was kinda enought to do the repair for only $800. They were honest, so I can't complaint about the dealer. I have more of a complaint with Porsche engineering the door locks.

So I got inside the door panel and it looks like the problem is in the lock cylinder. I grabbed the little bar that connects the cylinder with the rest of the lock and then turned the key. The bar never moved. I've posted the part I'm talking about. My question is, it looks like I can only buy the lock cylinder with the support which is $300. Does Porsche then have to key the Cylinder to my key? Can they do it and then I install it? Is there an alternative solution?

Not sure what you can buy, but no matter what your going to have to buy it from the dealer. I know I had to get a new key cylinder and a key blade came with it. I needed and extra key, so I also got a cap for the key.
Everything I needed had to come from Germany... took 10 days.
