We make Porsche keys at your car in Las Vegas, 24/7, from older 911 keys to the newer car shaped fobs. We tell you before the visit if your model needs a dealer step, since a few newer Porsches need the dealer for one step of the process.

If you are locked out or lost the only key, read our lost car keys with no spare guide first, and then call us so we can explain what your particular Porsche needs.

Left side ignitionMost Porsches place the ignition to the left of the steering wheel, which is a tradition from the brand's racing history.
Car shaped fobNewer Porsches use a remote fob shaped like a miniature version of the car itself.
Classic keysAir cooled 911s from before the mid 1990s often use a plain metal key that we can cut by code.
Garage carsMany Porsches sit unused for weeks, and a weak battery can make a perfectly good fob seem completely dead.

Which Porsche Key Do You Have?

Porsche went from plain metal keys on classic cars to chip keys with a remote head during the 1990s, and then to the car shaped fob with keyless options on most current models.

Classic metal keyOlder 911s and other classic Porsches use a plain cut key without any electronics, and we cut it by code or by reading the lock, and no programming is required.
Remote head keyPorsches from the mid 1990s through the 2000s often have a chip key with buttons in the head, so we cut the blade and then program the transponder chip and the remote.
Car shaped fobNewer Porsches use a fob shaped like the car, often with keyless entry and keyless starting. We tell you whether your car needs a dealer step before we schedule the visit.

Porsche Models and Their Keys

Porsche 911

Classic 911s use a plain cut key, and chip keys with a remote head became standard around the mid 1990s. Newer 911s from the 2010s use the car shaped fob, and many have keyless entry and starting.

Porsche Boxster

The Boxster arrived in the late 1990s with a chip key and a remote head, and later Boxsters moved to the car shaped fob, and many newer cars offer keyless starting.

Porsche Cayman

The Cayman came out in the mid 2000s with a chip key and a remote head, while later cars use the car shaped fob, with keyless options available on many trims.

Porsche Panamera

The Panamera arrived around 2010 with the car shaped fob, and keyless entry and starting are common, especially on later cars.

Porsche Cayenne

The first Cayenne from the early 2000s uses a chip key with a remote head, and the second generation from around 2011 moved to the car shaped fob, and keyless starting is common on later vehicles.

Porsche Macan

The Macan came to the US in the mid 2010s with the car shaped fob, and many have keyless entry and starting.

Porsche Taycan

The Taycan is an electric car that arrived around 2020 and uses a keyless fob, so we confirm before the visit whether it needs a dealer step.

What a Porsche Key Costs in Las Vegas

A Porsche chip key with programming typically runs $150 to $350 in Las Vegas, and car shaped fobs cost more than that because the fob and its programming are more involved. A classic Porsche with a plain cut key usually costs $50 to $180.

Nights, weekends and holidays usually add $25 to $75, although whether a dealer step is needed changes the price the most. Our automotive locksmith page covers the rest of our vehicle services, including vehicle lockouts and spare keys.

Make a Spare Before You Need One

Porsche keys are not inexpensive, so a spare made while you still have a working key is the better deal. Starting over after every key is lost takes considerably more time, so see all the car keys we make and add a spare now.

Owning a Porsche in Las Vegas

Porsches in Las Vegas often live in garages and come out for weekend drives, car shows and track days at the speedway. A fob that sits unused in the summer heat can lose its battery, so keep a fresh battery on hand and store the spare key somewhere other than the car.
