I had a Cayenne key blade break off in my ignition. I talked to the dealership (which is 2 1/2 hours away) and they are sending me a new blade and said I can just replace it onto my Fob. Does anyone know how to get the blade out of the fob? The only thing that I can get off is the battery cover. (04 pepper S)

Thanks

When you open the key in the possition to go in the ignition lock, but not in the end possition - approx. half way, you can see at the end of the key blade just in the pivot part a very small pin, remove the pin with a small drill and a hammer, take the pin apart you need him to install the new blade. Pull out the old blade and install the new one.

So now Porsche says that I can't buy just the blade, I have to get the whole fob/blade. Does anyone know what the average price is for it? The quoted me $225 plus 1/2 hour labour for programming.............. sound about right??

Good News: That's actually about $75-150 cheaper than I would have expected.

Bad News: when an ebay search turns up ZERO entries for a Cayenne key or blade... looks like you're paying the $250 or so.

Programming the RFID requires hardware you probably aren't interested in buying, but I'd ask someone here to confirm the PIWIS/PST2 would be needed. It's been a while since I looked at getting a second key.
