About Cayman Keys
Verified key reference for the Porsche Cayman — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer each generation uses. Boundary years can overlap; we confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.
| Model / Generation | Years | Key Type | Transponder / Immobilizer | Blade / FCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cayman (987) | 2006–2008 | Transponder | Philips Crypto 2 (PCF7946 / ID46) | HU66 |
| Boxster · Cayman (987) | 2009–2012 | Smart key (half-proximity) | Hitag Pro (PCF7945 / ID49) | HU66 |
| Boxster · Cayman (981) | 2012–2016 | Smart key (half-proximity / Keyless GO) | Hitag Pro (PCF7945 / ID49) | HU66 |
| Boxster · Cayman (982 / 718) | 2017–present | Smart key (proximity / Keyless GO) | Hitag Pro (ID49) | HU162 |
Security System & Immobilizer
Porsche ran ID48 and ID46 chips through the 2000s before proximity fobs — serviceable with VAG-family tooling.
On the Cayman specifically we see: Philips Crypto 2 (PCF7946 / ID46), Hitag Pro (PCF7945 / ID49), Hitag Pro (ID49). A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Porsche Cayman Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my Cayman. What now?
We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site — no tow, no dealer wait.
My Cayman is push-to-start — can you program that outside the dealer?
Yes. Late models (2017–present) use a proximity smart key on Hitag Pro (ID49) — we carry the fobs and the programmer, and we cut the emergency blade.
Do you still stock keys for older Caymans?
Yes — back to the 2006–2008 generation (transponder), and a fresh code-cut key beats any copy of a worn original.
How fast can you reach my Cayman in DFW?
We dispatch the nearest mobile unit metroplex-wide, 24/7 — call (214) 717-6398 for an honest ETA.
