A Key Component
 

So when I bought my 01 Boxster it came with the two button key (for alarm). But after having owned the car for a few months now, and having seen what's out there for this wonderful car, I am wondering has any body replaced their key casing before. I know that you can open it up pull out the blade and PCB set very easily but will the thing still work in another casing? I assume so as long as the push buttons line up right? Just curious to see if anyone else out there has gone this route, before I spend a little over a $100 for a pretty plastic casing. Thanks all.

<rant!> $10.00 for first class mail postage? WTF!! What a ripoff. For $129 bucks they should take that 3 oz item and send it UPS for free. At least Priority mail. I hate eBayers who make shipping as a profit center. <end rant>

If this a genuine Porsche product you should be able to get it from Suncoast Porsche much cheaper. From the reentech.org site

I have gotten clear side markers and and other asst parts cheaper from them than most anyplace else.

2001 should have a 3 button remote.

I replaced my key casing with an original porsche part. 2000 Boxster. It came with two. Still have one if you are interested. Brand new.

SGR yes I would be interested in your extra casing, do you have any pictures that you could get to me? Der Ghost thanks for the links will check out for sure.
