    When I bought my 98 355spider it came with only one key fob. I did'nt care at the time but after getting it home, I decided to get another fob. Found out that if you don't have the red fob you cannot progam any used or other fobs and you will need to order a new set at $600 plus the programing fee of $150 at the dealer. Only good new was my top was not cycling properly and after the progaming the mechanic could find nothing wrong with the power top! So the lesson here is if your going to buy a used 355 and it does not have the red key fob, take 750$ off the price of the car. It also took aproximatly 6 weeks to get the key fobs and ferrari of north america needed to have the titled faxed to them from the dealer before they could even order them.

    I believe this is for 96-99 only, and does not apply to 95.

    FYI?
    Theres a lot more advice available for tire kickers (hopefully ones with a finger-worn blank check in their pocket)

    The Spider Owners Manual costs a lot more than the GTS/GTB.
    But if ANY of the manuals are missing, you need to offer a chunk less.
    Tow truck drivers especially love bringing the toolkit home to their old ladies.

    This will not pertain to 95 355's. This year did not have keyless entry. Not sure about 96's.

    Good Advice. The Red Fob is the MASTER. Do Not Lose it !!!
    You should also make sure you have the Owners Manual, Toolkit & Ferrari Cover. It will matter when you Resell your 355.
