The link works now. I just fixed it.

really?
I picked up a brand new one with a gold crest and the bar code tag from Ebay as soon as I got the Boxster. I called the dealer and they told me it cost $150 and then another $100 cut the key. One of my clickers was acting strange even after I changed the battery so I figured I'd have the old key put into the new clicker. I looked at the back and they both had the same FCC ID so I figured it was fine.
Guess I'll have to call up the dealer now.

The FCC number is the same on all all keys - it is the 315 mhz frequency used in the US.

That ebay remote is for a 996. Boxster keys start with 986. But it is a good deal for a 996 owner, or maybe you can get it to work on a Boxster.

Each remote has a unique 24 digit code on the paper tag. Without that code the remote is worthless.
