Cayenne key/remote for Boxster?
I'd dig having a switchblade style key like the Cayenne... so I was thinking... the key blade is the same type... could a Cayenne key not be programmed to work with the Boxster?
Yeah, it's only got two buttons... I figure you could use one for the lock/unlock function, and the other for the front trunk. I can do without a remote unlock for the rear.
Any thoughts on this?

No input on this? I bet it would work. Might talk to the parts guy at the Porsche dealer, see if he thinks it will work or not.

Well... I also have a cayenne key, for our cayenne, lol, and while its cool, I prefer the original key. Your not thinking enough though, the panic button is useless for our cars (I think) so why not get that to be the rear trunk? If I were to do anything, Id buy a carrera gt key, those are cooler to me.

I kinda like the stock key, nice and small, I had the switchblade for my old S4 and we have the same for the wifes VW and it's to heavy, you dont even know the key is there with the regular key in your pocket
I like this one!

Well, I dig the switchblade design, even if it is a little bulky.
See, I keep my car key on a ring with a break away connector to another ring that has my house keys and gate remote on it (I live in a gated apartment community). I usually leave the other key ring in the car, and only carry the car key with me.
I dunno, I'll probably see if the Cayenne key will work. I've seen some with uncut blades on Ebay for a decent price.

I haven't checked with a dealer yet. I might swing by there someday when I'm off and talk to the parts guy. I'm sure he might have a better idea of whether or not it will work.
I figure the only drawback will be that the Cayenne remote only has two buttons (and I think a 'panic' button). I'll tell 'em I just want it to lock/unlock the doors, and pop the front trunk, since I use the front trunk a lot more than the rear.
