A new, unprogrammed two-button remote head is about $135 from Sunset in Oregon. Blades can be purchased from them for under $20.
Do not buy a remote key head off eBay if it does not have the barcoded hang tag on it and you can read the part number and your dealer tells you that's the right one for your model year.
The Bentley Repair Manual for our cars shows how to change the top switch. Not a bad thing to ask Santa for this year if you own a boxster you plan to work on yourself.
