Can you transfer the guts of a key to a new fob??
My lock/unlock button is getting a little worse for wear (see pic). I see the day where it is going to detach itself from the keyfob, so, instead of going through the very costly replacement key process, is it possible to buy a "blank" fob and just transfer the innards from the old to the new???

Yes you can. Make sure you keep the tiny immobilizer pill and transfer that too.

I just bought the key below from someone on Fleabay for $30. He sold his Boxster, and found his extra key that he never used. The buttons on my key are worn now...not as bad as yours, but will get like that I'm sure eventually. Will just move all the innards to the new key and hope it works.

as long as you transfer the blade/internal/pill everythings good to go
|
if you really want, get a 997style key....it looks awesome
|
How do you remove the key blade from the key fob?

You're right...the 2 different 997 style keys only have 2 buttons. I guess that's not going to work |

You hold down the tab and pull the blade out. |

If it's just the buttons worn, you can simply replace the button side, nothing to "transfer."

You could also use a new keychain while you're at it.

how about this....
my wife's S key is broken. the circuit board is cracked. i have a spare second key from my base box. what if i took the circuit board out and installed it on my wife's key. could i then just have the stealership reprogram the circuit board to my wife's boxster? do you think that would work? |
