Does anyone know how to replace the shell of a 991 Entry and Drive key fob or know of a link or where I could find directions? Thanks.

I guess I need to know how remove the original casing (shell, housing) off so I can replace the newly bought white casing (shell or housing).

 

Key fob or ignition fake key?

 

My dealer's service department does these changes at no charge if I buy the parts from them. Never learned how to do it myself. By the way, I'm told for each set of "sides" you can only change them once but I'm on 3rd change on one key.

 

here you go:

LexVan, not sure what you mean but here is the link:

 

Thanks SystemR, it looks like your link is the one that applies to my inquiry.

Thanks, everyone!

 

I watched my service department do it..and they just pop on and off.

 

no problem, its really really easy. i bought painted blades from ebay and it takes a few seconds to do the swap

 

Got mine from ebay two months before my car arrived.

 

Obviously this is a part that's very easy to replicate, but pricing is essentially $135 OEM or $12 on EBay or Amazon. Does anyone know if the cheaper ones are Porsche shells that are just painted by sellers?

I just don't want the casings popping off inadvertently.

 

Cheap ones are Chinese knockoff. "Fong Kong"

 

yes they are just painted shells, which don't match the metallic colors all that well imo, but they are secure and stay on.

see how the platinum metallic knock off version has a darker shade of brown? might bug some people but still looks better than that cheap black key blade that it came with:

 

Much cheaper than the oem ones. How do they hold up?

 

Yea , u can buy ten sets. My dealer told me the OEM ones chip, not worth it. I will probably do the knock off case and not match it to exterior paint since it won't be a good match.

The chrome one is appealing, as is gloss black.

For $12 it's worth a shot.

 

I bought these and followed the instructions on their eBay page.
