Replacing Porsche Car Keys

For Porsche car owners keys are as iconic as the vehicle itself. An expert locksmith can help you find or replace a lost Porsche 987 Key key.

There are many types of Porsche keys. Before calling locksmiths, be aware of the specifications your car requires. You should also take into consideration the cost and size of your vehicle.

Keyless Entry

Keyless car entry systems allows you to lock, unlock, or start your car without the use of traditional keys. It also makes it possible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

The issue is that the radio signal generated by a key fob is able to be detected by criminals who use relay devices, which can be bought on the Internet for as little as PS100. These devices relay your key's radio frequency to a device located near your car, which will then start your engine and open it.

It's a popular method to steal cars equipped with keyless entry systems, which is why many manufacturers have taken steps to make fobs less vulnerable. For instance, Ford's most recent Fiesta and Focus models have the option of shutting off the wireless system for 40 seconds when it detects no movement on the fob, making it much harder for a thief to detect your car's signal.

Another method of protecting your Porsche from theft is to put your remote in a safe place. A remote that is keyless for cars will typically have buttons that lock and unlocks the door, and also one that kicks the engine.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips have been incorporated in every new automobile since 1997. They add an extra layer of security to your Porsche. The chip transmits a signal through the ignition locks to correct the code. If the code is correct, the car's immobilizer goes off and the engine is able to start.

Transponder keys that are standard don't have batteries like remote head keys. They use radio signals generated by the key and a tiny amount power from the vehicle to send the signal. They don't require any servicing or repairs and are not dependent on external power sources.

They are also considered to be more secure than conventional metal keys because they cannot be hacked using hot wiring techniques, which is an effective method of bypassing the keyless entry system of modern cars. Even if someone is able to hack into the system the transponder key is much more difficult to duplicate than a metal key because it is a rolling code.
