Hey Guys, broke my switchblade key fob this morning and have decided to go for the individual key and alarm fob design.....anybody done this recently and researched the best place to go.....I am assuming it will be either Sunset or ebay.....anywhere else I should look
Thanks in advance

I posted this a couple weeks ago. I bought the transmitter and key head with light from Pelican. Transferring key and circuit board to the new transmitter and key head took all of five minutes. Nice mod.

I did this about a month ago, right after buying my 993, and the entire process took less than five minutes. This site was very helpful: http://p-car.com/diy/key/

I ordered the key fob parts direct from my local dealer, along with a spare immobilizer (my 993 only came with one). I probably should have shopped around, since I am sure I could have gotten them for much less than I paid. It took about a week for all of the parts to arrive.

Good luck.

I did the $65 eBay thing and it was perfect. All brand new Porsche parts. Best price around. My local dealer wanted much more than $65.

BTW, the eBay auction is also Suncoast ....same as the link above.

The crest is gold.

Hey guys, does the key head come with the remote shell or do you have to order that seperate from the remote shell??

on a somewhat related note.....when the led light gets weak, is the battery in the key replaceable? before i start tearing the thing apart, i figure i would ask the group.

The lighted key head comes with the fob as a pair.

Yes the battery is replaceable......in all - switchblade, fob and lighted key head

OK, I'm an idiot. I'm having a hard time removing the key from the switchblade housing. Can someone help me understand the secret? Thanks.
