Porsche keys — what you should know
Porsche shares elements of Volkswagen Group architecture, and key programming access varies considerably by model and year. We assess from the VIN before committing, and we will tell you plainly where the dealer is the only realistic route. On models we can do, we supply and program at the vehicle rather than requiring it to be moved.

Porsche keys — questions
Can you make a Porsche key if I have lost all of them?
For most Porsche models and years, yes, and at the vehicle rather than at a dealership. HU66 on models sharing Volkswagen Group architecture — we cut from code obtained through authorised channels or by decoding the lock directly, then program to the immobiliser on site. Varies considerably by model and year; access is restricted on several. We verify ownership before any of it, every time.
What kind of key does a Porsche use?
HU66 on models sharing Volkswagen Group architecture. Varies considerably by model and year; access is restricted on several. This matters because cutting alone is never enough on a modern vehicle — a key cut without programming works the lock and turns the ignition, and the engine cranks and does not start. Give us the year and model and we will tell you exactly which key your car takes before coming out.
How much is a Porsche key, and how long does it take?
Price follows the key type, not the badge — a transponder key is at the low end, a remote head key in the middle, a proximity smart key at the top because the blank itself is expensive. A spare made while you still have a working key is the quicker job. All-keys-lost takes longer, and several makes impose a manufacturer security wait of ten to sixty minutes during programming that nothing can shorten.
