Originally, I ordered a special key **** for my P-car. The dealer told me that it does not come with crypted-transmitter. So I ordered an xtra OEM key **** just to have the transmitter. Once, I received both the special key **** and OEM ****, I realized that the special key **** does has the internal transmitter. Now I have xtra transmitter that I don't need.

My local P-dealer reps. do not know sh...t!!!

looks good though.... how much did it cost you....? i am looking for the exact same thing...... but does anyone know how i am able to get the one with the GT saying 911?

There is a "911" version of the same key available from Porsche. It's silver and black. You can find it for sale on Suncoast Porsche's website. Google for it. I believe it's $119.95.

Thanks,

Be aware! Suncoast Porsche sale the key **** housing. It does stated in discription. Call them and be sure. I bought mine at my local P-dealer. I paid $134 with crypted-transmitter built-in.

TamiyaGuy

Are you sure? I got the whole thing including the guts when I purchased from Suncoast. Didn't use them, they're still sitting in the baggy the housing came in. It's not my understanding that Porsche sells just the shell separately.

r u willing to sell yours with all the transmitter and everything.....

Caution.

Local Porsche dealer, Barrier of Bellevue, was not able to "mate" the 997 immodilizer key to my 2001 996.

I only have the internal "guts" left, I made use of the shell.

I took my '99 C2 to the dealer today and -among other things- asked for another key. The service manager photocopied my registration and driver's license and said it would be $150-175; he wasn't sure.

We'll see what it is when they present the actual bill. I will post the result.

UPDATE:
OK- I got the result: It's $186 plus a half hour's labor ($65) to fix the broken remote key I have. It's $333 plus a half hour's labor to order another one.

Net:
$249 to repair the broken transmitter on my current key
$398 to get a second key

I declined both.

Without the xtra OEM key head, my total came out to be: $134 Carrera GT head/transmitter, $125 for blank, cutting, and recoding. Total: $259. I know the tech adv. so he didn't charge for the cutting and blank. Normally, it costs $45 xtra (blank/cutting).

Porsche_Smile

that's just a rip...... Porsche in Newport told me that it would cost $325 for a new one...... does anyone know if a locksmith can do the job for cheaper of course....?

996superfly

The cutting is not expensive here. It is the key head and recoding that cost $$$$. And no locksmith can do it.

My key only works sometimes if I push the button long enough or enough times??? I refuse to pay $250 for a remote door lock but I am close.

I had a similar problem with one of my keys. I tried switching to a new battery; no change. Ended up getting a new key, no problem since.
