So why do you invest 225 usd in a cheapo chinese crap transponder cloner or 200 usd in 2 keys that don't have a remote function and will always keep the alarm system of your car in a state of a permanent error generator?
X2 is ordered and on its way (from China), which means it can arrive any time from 5 days to 3 months. Lol.

Like 986S, the P dealer in Calgary charged me $640 all-in the last time I did a key/fob/programming. But, this is not the primary reason I want to order a key fob cloner and programmer. I am in a car club and if this works then I can help others for practically free. Not to mention I love gadgets and tools and if I can do stuff myself then I will try it first. This way I’m learning all the time. The basic principles are applicable to all cars not just the Boxster.

please keep us updated,
I would love to buy one of these too as my local dealer (only one in the state) is 500 kilometres away and I hate to imagine what they charge...

I looked into the fob clone and between cloning keys and fobs, we got a real contender here. Keep me posted, I’d be willing to get a cloned or even drive down to Calgary just to check it out as you’re just down the highway
