How We Work With Porsche Vehicles
We follow a clear, safe process tailored for high-value Porsche models and modern key technologies.
-
Rapid Assessment and Diagnostics
- We diagnose the fault using dealer-level diagnostic tools and OBD2 where applicable. For stored immobiliser and key data we use EEPROM and ECU-level diagnostics so programming is correct first time.
- We explain whether a simple battery or re-synchronisation will fix the issue or whether key programming or a replacement key is required.
-
Non-Destructive Entry Wherever Possible
- For locked-out drivers we use specialist, non-destructive vehicle unlocking techniques designed for Porsche doors and locks. We will only use destructive methods as a last resort and will discuss this with you before proceeding.
-
Key Cutting and Programming On Site
- Laser-cut key blades are accurately cut using mobile precision cutters, then matched and tested.
- Transponder key programming, smart key programming, remote key and proximity fob programming are carried out using OBD2/ECU or EEPROM methods as appropriate for the model year. We support models from older 911s and Boxsters through to modern Taycan EV systems.
-
Final Testing and Quality Check
- We test locking, unlocking, immobiliser status and engine start before we leave. All work is covered by our workmanship warranty and guarantees on keys supplied.
Tools and technologies we commonly use for Porsche work:
- Dealer-level diagnostic equipment and software interfaces
- OBD2 key programming tools for relevant Porsche ECUs
- EEPROM readers/writers for secure key data where needed
- Precision laser key cutters for high-security blades
- Specialist non-destructive entry kits and safe lockout techniques
Common Porsche Key Problems We Fix
We regularly repair and replace keys for these Porsche issues:
- Key fob not working or not responding to button presses
- Transponder key failing to start the engine (immobiliser faults)
- Key not detected by vehicle or “key not recognised” dash warnings
- Broken key extraction from ignition or door locks
- Replacement for lost or stolen Porsche keys, including security reprogramming
- Keyless entry and push-button start faults and repairs
- Central locking or remote central locking faults
If your Porsche shows a key warning symbol on the dash, or the car won’t accept a key despite a physical blade, we perform diagnostics to identify whether a reprogram, key replacement, ECU intervention or a battery/antenna repair is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a Porsche key without the original?
Yes. In many cases we can create a new Porsche key without the original by accessing the vehicle’s ECU/immobiliser data via OBD2 or EEPROM to program a new transponder or smart key. The exact method depends on the model and year. We’ll confirm the required steps after a diagnostic check.
My Porsche key fob stopped working — is it just the battery?
Often a non-responsive key fob is a dead battery, but it can also be an antenna, central locking module or transponder fault. We start with a battery and signal test and then proceed to ECU diagnostics if needed.
Will you damage my Porsche to gain entry?
No — we use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. Destructive techniques are only used as a last resort and we will explain the reasons and costs before proceeding.
Does programming a Porsche key require dealer-level equipment?
Some Porsche programming tasks do require dealer-level diagnostic access or ECU/EEPROM intervention. Our technicians carry dealer-level tools and software for many models, allowing us to perform programming without visiting a dealer in most cases.
How long does it take to get a replacement Porsche key?
Timing depends on model and whether ECU or immobiliser programming is required. Many replacements and programming jobs are completed on site the same day once we have the vehicle details. We’ll give you a clear estimate after the initial diagnostic.
