04 CTT Keys

[derekmines]

A simple question here but one that I can't find the answer to despite many google searches.

I'm looking at buying an '04 Cayenne Turbo here in Dubai (it's acutally a US car though)

The seller only has one key (a flip out blade)

I'm assuming there should be more than this... how difficult is it to code a new key? can I buy a blank on ebay, have the blade cut and then code it to the car myself or is it a dealer only job... Should I have some kind of master key as well?

Lastly, how do I tell if the car has PSM / what other features should I be looking for on an '04?

Mine came with two plus the dummy for the Keyless entry. When I lost one it was about $350 for a new one, that price included programming.

Personally I'd stick with a local car, there are plenty around at good prices.

All CTTs have PSM and PASM.

Thanks for the info

I must confess I normally do stick to local cars (my Corvette is a GCC model) but the price on this CTT is attractive enough that I have some financial room for remedial works, hence the question.

If you are looking for a PPI, I'd strongly recommend ARM at Dubai Investment Park. For Dhs 500 they will find everything that's wrong with it.

What sort of mileage and price are you looking at?

I ended up walking away from the first car I was looking at and I've now bought another car.

most history present, though no record of the coolant tubes being done.

It's had a fair amount of work done at ARM (assuming that's Alex Renner?) already so I think I might have them inspect it fully at the same time as the next service.

Thanks for the advice all.

Yep, that's Alex Renner. I sold my 05 CTT (195,000km) to a colleague and it's still on original coolant pipes, cardan shaft and transmission valve body, and I know of others on 150k+ km still on original coolant pipes. I was doing the Abu Dhabi commute so 5k km/month and a 20k km service 3 times a year; it always cost a bit at service time but never anything in between. I was always happy that the car was in the best possible shape.
