I've seen these on ebay too btw (slightly different, but just in case you're looking for a specific color that's not offered by that company).

The key case just came in the mail today. It doesn’t fit the key. The listing says that it fits the Panamera etc But doesn’t mention the Taycan. Apparently those cars have a different key than the taycan. The taycan key is a little bigger. Would you mind checking to see where yours came from? That link is not correct.

Yes, I just noticed that. I ordered B. Not sure how you’re supposed to know which is which. My bad. I have a friend with a Panamera, I’ll see if it fits his key.

Here is some additional information on Porsche key fobs. There are two versions depending on the year and model of the Porsche. Older Porsches have the shorter version with the silver tab that protrudes.

I got the new key case! Can anyone tell me how to remove the top part of the key? I don’t want to break it and don’t see how it snaps off. I tried googling but can only see instructions for the older style key.

It has been a while since I installed my new FOB cover. If I remember correctly, remove the emergency key. You should then be able to push apart the original cover outward. To install the new cover line up the plastic tabs and it should snap back on. The tabs are not meant to be removed often, so once the new cover is on don't fiddle with it.

Here's a link to replace the battery which also involves removing the FOB cover.

Thanks. I figured it out. You need a special star screwdriver which I happen to have. But I wouldn’t think most people would.

no, b*ll*cks do you, it just prises off! At least mine did, perhaps I’ve just stripped a load of tiny threads..
I prised (carefully) from the end opposite the Porsche badge, each side at a time. The original silver central bezel is essentially hinged (clipped, sort of) at the badge end. You just have to be a little brave.
If it’s an issue I can disassemble mine and post up a video of it if required.

 

[Dave T]

No thanks, as I said, I’m all set now: it was much easier to pry off the middle piece after removing the key chain ring holder thing. So that’s what I did, but I believe you that you were able to pry it off without doing that.
