I've just tried the 'spare' key. It doesn't fit the car Bugger that sold me the car gave me a duff key I'm on one key and one remote for the alarm. Anyone know where I can get a second remote for a Selca alarm and how much is a replacement key.

Thanks for starting this thread Putney, I was quite happy til I tested all this

But who would buy it without the magical red key?

Maybe a Boxster driver or possibly a former TT owner

:serioushaton: I think its to help the garage reprogram your imobiliser should they even need to or something like that... and the grey one () is a valet key that allows someone to drive the car but not open the boot/glovebox.

It was the first thing the dealer gave me when they delivered the car, the red key in it's own presentation box.
