Update 986 to 987 key remote
 

I've just transferred my old key and transponder to the new remote and since I couldn't find a way to retro fit the internal into the 987 remote therefore I'll be carrying the remote separately... just like the good old days :cheers:

Maybe there was another thread that covered this question, but what's the benefit of this again? Why did u get the 987 key?

For look & feel...

Oh, so for the look and feel of a 987 key, you still need to carry the old one??

(I wasn't going to say it... Lol)

I can always just carry the key only... :cheers:

Evo, did you try to hollow out the 987, and implant the entire remote into it? the circuit board is pretty small, dremel a hole into the 987 for the button to protrude and presto!
I presume you looked into that route (seen some of your other handy work), why couldnt it be done?

Seen some of my handy work? in VWVortex or MDX forum? Thx! I did a quick test fit and know that it will need more modifications. Will try it when I have more time. Has anyone done this before?

Yes I've seen this one and it's for 2 buttons remote, any 3 buttons conversion yet?

Do you have an original three button remote on your 2003 Boxster?

Yes with 1 button near the key and 2 below it.

I never knew a 986 had a remote with three buttons, even online order replacement only has two buttons.

What does the third button operate?

Lock, Frunk & Trunk

Just received the aftermarket remote/key from eBay, the quality is ok consider it's only $22 shipped and includes a blank key blade. Now see if I can retro fit it into the 987 remote.
