Found one...thanks bar dude!

I know you're looking at used (cheap), but how about this?:

Key Blank

I can't remember where I saw these links originally. Here, Pelican, Pedros... But the person that bought this and posted these links had great success with these parts. After having them programmed at the dealer, of course.

bar10dah · 07-09-2012, 06:55 PM

Heck, this is even cheaper.

particlewave · 07-09-2012, 07:00 PM

Wow! Thanks!

I literally just did a fleabay search and came up empty. I must be search stupid. Thats plenty cheap for me.

Thanks again! Buying now!

I swear that the last time I checked Suncoast, they were around $200....

edit: geez, I feel incredibly stupid now.

No worries! Glad to help. I actually saw those links somewhere else and saved them in my "watched items" in case my keys ever do fail.

I have two sets of keys and they both work. However, I've been looking at this. I really like it, but have a hard time paying $160 just for aesthetics.

That is a bit steep, but sexy! I'd probably pay up to $200-250 if it came with the transmitter, but just the plastic? ...I don't know...

Thanks for the e-bay tip Bar guy. I'm currently waiting to resolve a key issue with 'Originalkey.com'. They are selling a full blank with fob for about $130. Problem is they sent me a 2 button instead of a 3 button (01 Boxster) with no code and it took two months? I don't recommend them at this point but will advise after I see if they resolve the issue.

Neekk1 · 08-12-2012, 05:35 PM

The one they sent you. Is it for an 01 ?

Alan Manessy · 08-13-2012, 08:04 AM

They say it is and there are three choices: 1, 2 or 3 button remotes. I don't know any Boxster with only one trunk so it doesn't make sense to me. Also, they have not responded about the 'no code supplied' situation. Waiting...

Alan Manessy · 08-13-2012, 08:21 AM

The company is Originalkeyless.com and so far they suck. I sent the key back two weeks ago asking to exchange for a three button version with a code or a refund. No news... just waiting.

Surprise! They sent me the correct key and a code. Now let's see if it works. I'll post when I get it done.
