Forum member particlewave posted a good DIY on the process. You can even send your remote to him for repair.

Key Transmitter Repair (new switch didn't fix it?)

Of course, you can buy a new one, but be prepared for some serious sticker shock.

Just sayin'...........

Thanks. $150 USD plus reprogramming at the dealer I guess. I might send one of the non-working ones to him in the winter. I'm not sure if it bothers me that much yet.

The car is running nicely and is in great shape. I had it up on my lift again for a closer look. It needs an outer CV boot and the large water pump hose looks a little swollen. I booked it into the local indy shop for that. I can't take it off the road for more than a day because its my daily driver right now. A coolant change has a staggering price as they only use Porsche coolant. The good news is that the rear brake pads have lots of life left although the rotors have a good ridge. Thickness is ok. I guess they just changed pads last time around. I even got touch up paint from the local body shop supply house for $11. Beats Dr. Colorchip at $60 Cdn plus shipping! Wiper blades are noisy and it needs a few other minor things. Charles is going to fix my remote. My Continental Bluetooth head and harness are on the way too. I forgot to check the date code on the tires before I bought it but they are 2015 so no issues there. I should keep things under $2k which is what I usually expect on a used car.
