I'm working through a project where I'm cleaning and restoring all of the locks on my car. I have two brand new Porsche 'black' keys. I also have one 'red' key (not factory).
How many keys did the cars come with originally? I understand that in this day and age I probably don't really need the red valet keys, but I will be adding the valet wafers to the correct lock cylinders, so I figured I'd order some correct red valet keys too. I just don't know how many came with the car new! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

Before I go to the dealer tomorrow, does anyone know if factory keys are still available by VIN from Porsche or Porsche Classic? My son has misplaced my only key and I was stunned that my long-time locksmith could not pick my locked trunk lock yesterday after I trailered the 914 to his shop! My key may be in the locked trunk. Locks are all original.
