New to the 986, and I've got a couple Q's!

Hey guys! Just picked up a new to us 986 yesterday. For a 1998, it's very clean, and has obviously been looked after. But of course there are some nagging little items, and having plenty of experience with older cars (though not Porsche) I thought "you know, someone else has probably been down this road before."

Therefore, a couple questions maybe someone can help with?

#1: Keyless entry doesn't work. The buttons fell off the PCB on one of them and I soldered back on, but the LED is very weak. The other is just non-functional. So I'd like to consider just replacing the entire assembly, electronics and all. Is there a good source for these, and is there a procedure to program to the car, or is this (ugh) a dealer item?

#2: Sometimes when I start the car, the spoiler light in the dash comes on. It always goes off after reversing a couple feet. I think the spoiler may not be sitting 100% flush. There is not a switch on the dash like I have seen in some pictures. Any suggestions?

Thanks! I'm certain that I'll have more questions as I come across things. I'm excited about my first mid-engine car!
