I believe the transponder pellet can be swapped from the old head to the new one (if disassembled).
So you're saying that there's a chance that I already have a receiver in the car for a remote control?

Yes, that's most likely the case. You just need new keys with the transmitter. I say "just", but it's not a cheap proposition. A dealer must program them, which is not cheap.

You buy the fob, Remote Control Keyhead:Porsche Parts & Porsche Accessories - Wholesale Porsche Parts & Tequipment - Cayman Panamera Cayenn.

Then take it to a dealer to program. I paid $125 I think.

Don't buy the fob from eBay unless it has the bar code.

Good luck.
