Odd question - Can key be used to open house door?
I have homelink working and am down to two keys on my key ring. Now I am wondering if I can replace my deadbolt with a compatible one for my porsche key. I know, odd right...but I would like to get down to a single key.
If not, will the house key wear on the porsche key? I remember seeing older 996 keys and they looked terrible...I want to keep mine looking good. Perhaps one with a rubberized coating would help? Or I wonder if they make hard rubber house keys?
Or wait, one more option...anyone hooked up a home lock/unlock system compatible with the RF keypad?
I think in theory you could use an electronic deadbolt in the door, then hook it up to the parts directly out of a Porsche. So when the key turns, it completes the switch and the electric deadbolt opens or closes. No problem, but you will need to build this thing yourself.
Now all you need is a power supply, say a AC->12VDC adapter, and the ignition parts from a Porsche.
I can't say how secure it would be - someone might be able to stick a screwdriver or something into the "lock" and "pick" it... but that is actually trivially easy for most home deadbolts too (bump key, etc).

I design complex, expensive high-tech systems for a living.
What you need is a house key in your garage (hidden out of sight) and a fake rock with a house key inside... somewhere outside the house.
This will cost you about $10 and take about 11 miuntes to deploy.
Well, I did leave out one critical point. I live in a community so the original key still needs to work.
Do the new porsche keys tend to get scratched up or do they look good after some years?
I was actually surprised at how cheaply constructed the Porsche keyfob is. Very lightweight plastic job that seems like it could easily be damaged. I prefer my Audi one much better with the folding key. Even VW has that.

I don't have any key other than the one that starts the car. No need for a house key when after I get into the garage (thanks to the homelink) the door to the house is a digital lock with key in combination. No need for a key.
A new key probably cost less than whatever you will need to do to make this work.
No, actually they're not inexpensive.

Correct, plus the car computer must be reprogrammed with all keys present at the same time. Fortunately, our Tucson dealer doesn't charge for that reprogramming, but many dealerships do charge $200 to reprogram.
Have you considered either a digital touchpad lock or a fingerprint lock for your home, then replace the original lock when it's time to move out?

What does "I live in a community" mean? A kibbutz?
Prison? Halfway house? At home with parents?
Everybody else seems to understand what that means. "Oh, yeah...a community...that changes everything."
What is the obsession with the "look" of your key, hozer?
OMG...I am sorry but I am laughing my a$$ off right now. I mean no disrespect.
Have a house key in the garage in an inconspicuous place.
Hide one outside for use in the event that a power outage renders your garage door inoperable.
You are making this way too complicated. The digital lock into the house from the garage is a nifty idea if you want to spend more than the cost of finding two hiding places.
