Removing the Dummy Key - The Easy Way
#18
I've got the dummy key and think it is cheap and nasty. And unsafe because a thief might think I left the key in the ignition and break some glass to find out. A version that doesn't look like a key from the outside to the uninitiated, and which feels like it belongs in a super car, is what Porsche should do in the next iteration. Please and thank you.

I have seen people getting it painted to try to make it look less tacky. Not sure it does the trick though. I would love a nice dummy key made of aluminum

I would not mind the dummy key vs a button if it did not look and feel so cheap. As it has been considered as part of the tradition and 'tactile' experience, a better material should have been used. I would happily replace my dummy key by a nicer -better finished- aftermarket part...

Thanks! I am on it...

Porsche really cheaped out on the dummy key. I have this beautiful 911 shaped key on my ring. then my momentary pride of ownership is instantly diminished when I turn the cheap plastic dummy key fob to bring my car to life. I probably overlooked some 500 dollar option for a metallic body colored key fob somewhere.

Well what the world needs is one less politician on the passenger's side, I always say...

Thanks for the picture. I am surprised it is not available on Suncoast's website. Emailing them right away!
