How to Open a Porsche Key?
3 Answers
The method to open a Porsche key is: use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the shells on both sides, then pry the top shell, and the key can be disassembled. Porsche models include: 911, 718, Boxster, Cayman, Macan, etc. Taking the 2020 Porsche 911 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4519mm, width 1852mm, height 1298mm, wheelbase 2450mm, and fuel tank capacity 64L. The 2020 Porsche 911 is equipped with a 3.0L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 385 and a maximum power of 283 kW.
I've researched how to disassemble Porsche keys several times. For the common folding key, there's a thin seam on the back - insert a small flathead screwdriver or dedicated plastic pry tool and gently lift to release the clasp. Apply even pressure to avoid scratching the plastic casing. For newer keyless entry fobs, first unscrew the small fastener on the metal keyring base, then carefully pry open along the seam with your fingernail. Inside you'll find the button battery and circuit board - note the polarity when replacing the battery. Work on a clean surface to prevent losing small components like springs. When reassembling, align the tabs properly and press until hearing a click - precision is crucial with these delicate mechanisms.
I've disassembled my Porsche key three times, mainly to replace the battery. First, observe the side of the key - for folding models, there's usually a hidden groove near the logo. Gently pry it open using a thin metal sheet or credit card, avoiding brute force. After separating the casing, pay attention to the internal structure: there's a metal spring at the bottom of the battery compartment, and be careful not to lose the small rubber ring when removing the battery. Newer smart keys are more complex, requiring removal of the mechanical key portion first to access the screw holes. The most crucial aspect of the process is maintaining steady hands; I recommend using pry tools from phone repair kits. When reassembling, ensure all clips are securely fastened to prevent water ingress during rainy weather. Finally, test all button functions before using it with your car for safety.
