Re: Extra key cost....ouch!
Guenter is right.
The car has memory capacity to store up to 4 keys (986/996) and up to 6 keys (89(987/997/C7).
Each key has two strings of data that must be stored into the car's memory in order to activate them.
One strand is for the Immobilizer (pill) and the other is for the remote (keyless entry) functions.
The key blade is just a physical key to lock/unlock the mechanical tumblers in the door's lock or in the ignition's lock.
Home Depot and similar do not have the capacity to cut a Porsche key.
There are locksmiths that can do it as well as through a dealer.
