I’ve heard good things about Tore’s keyless kit over on Rennlist. Have considered putting it on my 964.

Please let me know how this works out.
I only have 1 key and don't want to spend $500 for a spare.
With this unit, would it then be possible to hide the 1 good key in the car and use these remotes to lock/unlock the doors?
Sound like a better solution, at least for the moment.

Why would you need to "hide the one good key in the car"?
The key and transponder are completely separate from keyless entry.

To the OP: any keyless entry module will work just fine if you know what you're doing. I paid $13 for mine. It has a very long range due to the tiny 12V battery and has been working flawlessly for years.

I was under the impression that the "expensive" part of a replacement key is the programming to make it start the car. This way at least I won't lose the 1 key that will start the car and use the door opener to get in and out of the car instead of the key.
I'm not quite sure if I am explaining my idea correctly here.
What's the point of installing this unit then?
I don't quite understand it, apparently.
