I also replaced my ignition with new Porsche Original. And came with the same key set you show. This was circa 2014.

I tried using them, but had to use pair of pliers to twist key in ignition.

Then, I bought a key head from our host.

It's pricey @ $52. But, looks good, and serves its function well. You just pull the key stem out of the small head and insert into the new larger ones.

Oh, you know have to carry two keys, right? One for door, one for ignition. You can have the doors re-key'd, or if you are inclined and have tools, do that yourself. My local air-cooled shop/tech offered to rekey for me @ 1 hr labor per door, so almost $400 to re-key.

I'll keep on carrying two keys.

Good luck!
