Question 1

Are you licensed and insured to work on Porsche vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EZ Car Keyz is licensed through the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, the state agency that regulates locksmiths. We carry full liability insurance.

On a 2015 Macan specifically, key enrollment requires working through the immobilizer via the OBD port and handling security-layer credentials for the vehicle's electronic system. That is not a job for someone with a generic key machine and no immobilizer training. At this price point, you want documented credentials, proper equipment, and someone who has actually worked on the VW Group platform this car runs on. We check all three.

Question 2

How do I know you are not a scam locksmith?

Accepted Answer

Ask for a license number before anyone rolls. In California, every legitimate locksmith has a BSIS license number you can verify online in about two minutes. Ask for it by name.

Also ask for a firm written price for your specific year and model before work starts. Porsche key jobs attract price games because owners are sometimes quoted high dealer figures and then get steered toward cut-rate offers that either use aftermarket fobs that lose programming early or don't cover the full immobilizer enrollment. Neither outcome is good.

We give you a real number on the phone for a 2015 Macan specifically, and that number doesn't move when we arrive.

Question 3

Will the replacement key work exactly like the original?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We program the transponder so the immobilizer authorizes engine start, and we pair the fob so all five remote functions work the same as the factory key. Before we leave, we walk through every button and confirm the vehicle responds correctly.

There are cases where Macan owners have bought replacement fobs online and had them programmed somewhere that only handled half the job, so the remote functions worked but the key memory wasn't properly documented. If the car ever needs another key later, that missing data creates problems. We record what we do so you're not starting from scratch next time.

Question 4

My 2015 Macan is showing a key warning on the dash but the car still starts. What's happening?

Accepted Answer

This one comes up on Macan forums pretty regularly. The car starts because the transponder is still being read at close range, but the fob's signal strength is low enough that the system is flagging it. Nine times out of ten it's a CR2032 that's on its way out.

Pull the fob open, swap in a fresh CR2032, make sure it seats flat against both contacts, and retest. If the warning clears and all five buttons work reliably, you're done. If the warning stays after a confirmed good battery, or if the car occasionally hesitates to start when the fob is in your pocket, that points toward a fob that needs to be looked at more closely. Intermittent issues on this platform tend to get worse, not self-correct.

Question 5

I only have one key for my 2015 Macan. Is it worth getting a spare made now, or can I wait until I need one?

Accepted Answer

Get the spare now. Single-key situations on this vehicle are genuinely high-stakes because an all-keys-lost job is a longer, more involved process than simply adding a second key while one working fob is present. When there's an existing enrolled key, the new one gets added alongside it. When there's nothing, the system has to be approached differently, and that takes more time and more equipment work.

Macan owners in the Carmel Mountain Ranch area don't always think about this until something happens, and by then the options narrow. A spare made today is the cheap version of this problem.
