"What else" you need is the vehicle code from PCNA. I am not aware of any indy with access to that data. My very good indy, long time Porsche trained and employed was in the same boat.

The "drawn out procedure" takes a very short while, as I found out at Hennessy.

I shopped all around, and found that by far the cheapest source was to fax my title to Sunset (to prove ownership) and get the new key shaft for approx $80.

I then bought the key head on ebay for about $75 (be sure it has the bar code tag) and received the aforementioned sub- $50 mating of 2 key heads at my dealer.

OK, so how about 997 keyless remotes? Are they compatible with 996's?
