Hi,

Sorry for your trouble. Seems like we have our 1st Guinea Pig - http://www.986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9402

If not, just get a locksmith and charge it back to the detailer. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

All you need is the metal part/shank to get in. I forget how much I paid. Call you dealer. It can be made from your VIN.

Or, a tow truck guy might have this tool. Shown on a 996, but have been told it also works on a Box.

Thanks boys! I do have Emergency Lockout Coverage on my Geico policy and am calling them this morning. I am fairly confident a Locksmith will be able to use a Lockout kit to get in. I am more upset that I cant find my spare... I usually dont lose things. As for charging the dealer for the service... I am the dealer. I work there and the guy that detailed my car is an employee.

That damn car better be look excellent!

I will take some pix of the escapade for fun!

I guess worse case is I will have to buy a key blank and get my buddy at Porsche to have it cut for me. I will just be embarrased that my car is sitting in the middle of the parking lot on a Monday morning clean and locked!
