I don't believe my 98' Boxster "looks" for the FOB. That's my assumption because my FOB needs it's button to be pressed, and the little red light on the FOB lights up when I open the car up.

I certainly don't have the soldering skill that's demonstrated in the DIY video...so, while interesting to watch, I don't think I'd tackle that part myself......but impressed with those who can.

Suggestion....Once removed, WHY NOT replace it with a standard torx fastener NOT a security type....for the future?
