Key Problem

Not the answer I was hoping for! I'm finding it a pain in the backside...or should I say, my Mrs is when she's standing in the rain waiting on me opening door, key in ignition, sitting down, then leaning over.

I've got mine booked into a Porsche dealership next week. I've been quoted £190 for a new key should it need it (I'll need two if that's the problem).

I'll check back in here once I've got it back from the dealer and let you know what sorted the problem (if it gets sorted).

It would be great to hear back on what the resolution is. I was getting quoted mad money in the dealership for them to fix it and my Indy is more of an engine kinda guy. He wasn't keen on taking the door locks apart unless he had to.

It was the key fob. I've had them both re-programmed and they work. I phoned around my local area and nowhere would do Porsche key re-programming, it had to be the dealership - so I'm not too fussed about having to pay for it.

To get one done it was £190, for two it was £316 - so I went for the two to get done. I'm glad I've got it done, standing about in the rain wasn't that fun.
