Called ******** Porsche in Lancaster for a new key. They said $390 + $140 to program it! I have 2 old keys (01 porsche), wanted a new one "just fer nice". Is there an alternative?

I've replaced just the plastic housing (cheap) reusing the electronic guts and the actual key.
New keys from Porsche are ridiculous.

Most locksmiths can reprogram a key at a fraction of what a stealership will...but won't guarantee the results. Been down that path with my parents.... no regerts

Our local True Value can do it for many cars, including late model Porsche (my buddy got one there for his Cayman).

Must be done at the stealership, no way around that, it’s trying to find cheap blanks that is easier.
