Ok so I bought a 99 boxster recently. The PO gave me two keys. 1 looks like a valet key. The other must have had a light in it but is missing all of the internals.

So upon looking at the original window sticker in the paper work it says it has central locks and imobilizor alarm. My question is this.... Does that mean I can buy the keyless entry remote and program it to my car? Is there another component needed?

Is there any way to tell if my car has it?
(the other problem is the horn doesn't work so if it's supposed to signal when locked I will not be able to tell that until I fix the horn)
