Does anyone know if it is possible to some how program a 997 key to work with a 996, or to gut a 996 key and make it work with the 997 key?

No and No, already Researched about this... If you had a 997.1 you could upgrade to the 997.2 Key for it... Dont Like This? http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...y_Code=996keys I have it, its great, i love it

You might browse this site. I've seen some interesting things there.

One of the pages is on programing. Not sure which versions it applys to. Also, the site didn't come up tonight.

This is a no. There are completely different keys. The programming on the 987/997 key is slightly different and the metal parts of the keys are different shapes. The metal section is noticably larger on the 997.

Personally, I liked the 996 keys a lot better than the 997. They are a lot smaller, so they fit your pocket better. Then also feel higher quality to the touch. I was never a fan of the cheap gray plastic 997.1 keys. My 997.2 keys are the same size as the 997.1, just with the black finish like the 996 keys.
