Valet key

[hi8ha]

Do you need a barcode to program a valet key?

Do you mean the 3th ( small ) key? There are 2 versions: 1) only to open the door ( without transponder ) and 2) to open and start the car ( with transponder ) you don't need a bar code for both versions, version 2 needs an accession with the PIWIS to the system via E-pass. Bar code is only for the remote control.

I replaced a missing valet key. The car still has to be coded or you can't start the car, but there is no paper tag with the 24 digit code for a valet key.

Thanks.

I called an independendent Porsche repair shop. Thay said it qouls cost arrounf $135.00 and there was a need for a barcode tag. If I recall correctly the kay came without that tag. The y would also charge $70.00 to activate the OBC. Think is a little high. On Manday will call a dealer in Miami. The guy I talked to on Saturday said the they could activate the OBC for $70.00+. Think it would be batter if I wait for the Durametric to have that option.

Oout of context, when is suggested to replace the rip belt?

I assume you mean the serpentine belt replacement?? It is scheduled in the 60K major maintainenece, but I would suggest replacing around 40K to be safe. especially in your hot summer climate. The belt is only around $30 and is an easy DYI>
