I have not. But I kind of assumed they both wouldn't work. Ill go try them right now and see what happens...

It might be worth talking to the dealer - maybe you'll get lucky and they'll have the key codes stored somewhere.

I got a key programmed for 50 bucks about a year ago at my local dealer - well worth it IMO.

Any change? I have the same issue....

[Mrmaddbrad]

Nope no change. And i guess it would be worth calling the dealer and see what they say. I would hate to buy a $400 key just because the one i have doesn't communicate...


However, the other key i have, i noticed has a broken solder. I guess its time to bust out the old soldering iron and see how far it comes lol

Hi Mrmaddbrad :-)

The issue with the keys you described is exactly like what I got. The key contains no remote control function at all. They are just mini torch lights lol. I just bought my Boxter MY00 and the key I was given does just that and I was wondering why it wouldn't unlock/lock my car until I opened the key and found nothing but a battery and a lamp. So, unluckily, I guess you're right, we have to buy a proper key :-).
