You can get the switch (part # 4A0 905 849 B) from an Audi dealer but they will charge you +/-$130.00 for it - that's what they quoted me, you may have better luck in Sydney.

I bought mine (+ a spare) from a local supplier in Qld, the switch is made by bbr automotive, Germany.
If you have the time, getting a couple of switches via the internet from the US (Pelican Parts) or the UK (www.design911.cm) is the cheapest option.

03 Boxster ignition switch

Thanks for the reply
I actually work for sn Audi dealer so should be able to get at cost
With the symtoms i described do you think it is the switch?
I'm locking the car with the key but it does not lock passenger door
Also cannot get into the boot as the internal switch is broken
Previously i used the remote
One think i did notice when lockingtne drivers door the horn beeps to confirm the dooris locked
This never hapoened when the remote was working
Any chance itcould be a fuse?
Cheets
