Cayenne Key Fob Info and questions

[SA321]

Anyone try this on a US car?

the only difference between the two is frequency so should work

So you can do think instead of paying the dealer $150 to program your remote? I thought they had to use an electronic device to do the programming?

So has anyone in the US tried this method yet? I just order two new keyfobs from Sunrise Porsche (Luke Rogers in the parts department is a champion) and was told by a place in Brooklyn NY that advertises reprogramming of keyfobs that the dealership had to do the programming (my local locksmith can cut the laser keys)

I might give it a go over the weekend, but am concerned about screwing something up.

Thanks - Steve

I spoke to three different subject matter experts and none of them said that this would work, so I decided not to go with it and will have the dealer in NYC do the programming. Said it would cost $150 to program two key fobs, I am going to have a local locksmith laser cut the keys. I will let everyone know how it all turns out.

It's the best option you could take, after all IMHO.

When your key is popped open/extended, you can look underneath it on the case, and the writing will tell you its frequency.  My 2005 Porsche Cayenne (U.S.) says "Continental 315Mhz".  Cheers

FYI.  I've had lots of Porsche work performed on my Cayenne Turbo @ Unique Works in Longmont, Colorado (Coolant system, fuel pump leaks/replacement, suspension.)   I trust this guy with my kids!  Ultra reasonable $$$.   Ask for Larry. 

 

Separately, I've also had my transmission's valve body changed for $200 at a Fort Collins' shop.  Contact me and i'll share their contact info.
