Thumbs up Another Remote Key 997 Group Buy!

Everyone, I know there was a group buy last year for the Remote Key 997 which was very successful. It seems like a great mod that works on the 997, 987 and Cayman, it lists for $299 on their website. I've contacted Jessica at Wilhelmy-IT and they would support another group buy for this product. Thought I would take a shot and see if anyone else is still interested in getting one. I'm not affiliated with the company, I just want one for myself. I've copied the info from the previous group buy below. Are you in or are you in??

What we need to do is simply have people respond to this thread that they are going to order a Remote Key from Wilhelmy-IT. We start counting the numbers and what that number grow over the next two weeks. At the end of that time whatever number we have they will give us a group buy code to order the product from their website with the associated discount. Here it is:

-10% $269 for 10 or more orders
-15% $254 for 20 or more orders
-20% $239 for 30 or more orders
-25% $224 for 40 or more orders
-30% $209 for 50 or more orders - no more discount available

For those who have forgotten the features, either check the mods4cars.com website or here is a list I copied:

Fully programmable via the turn signal stalk
Beep(s) on lock and unlock
Home light on/off via key
4 second delay on front and rear trunks
windows auto-up and auto-down with key hold
doors auto lock/unlock on drive-off or key removal
side mirror lowering when car put into reverse - aids in parallel parking

I'm already in so I'll start the counting with myself at #1. If you are going to order a Remote Key please list yourself in a reply and add one the total numbers. Jessica said usually they let these run about 2 weeks before closing the group buy window so that products can be packaged for prompt shipment.

From everything I've read in this forum it sounds like a great product. Who is with me??

on the smart top, i think if we get enough people you would get a discount on that instead of the remote key, obviously its a very similar product

why dont you put your name in on this group buy and we'll see what they can do, more people more discount

This is already a feature... just turn the mirror adjust button to the passenger mirror

The caymanclub.net guys have a GB on now and are already into the 15% discount rate. It could be in the 20% off soon if you use their code.

Good luck with the group buy. I thoroughly enjoy my Remote Key for my C2 Coupe. I'd recommend your getting it even if the group buy is a no-go.

There are only a few features that I think I would use, the rest I already have. I like this feature, but why is it setup this way from the factory:

•*Passenger window auto-up fix for all cars where the window will only roll up automatically once it is past half way. Usually found on 997 Coupes

Also is there a way for the dealer to program our cars to chirp when the car is locked?

No chirp unless you leave lights on or glove box open or something else on!

the dealer can't program the alarm to chirp, thats the main reason i want the Remote Key, the other features are just a bonus

the cayman club does indeed have a group buy ongoing, current discount is 15%, enter the coupon code "ccgb" at checkout to get it, a couple more Remote Keys/Smart Tops get sold and we'll be at 20% discount

we cant beat em so lets join em

Thanks Larry -

Hope all is well. My wife is finished with chemo - just waiting for her hair to grow back

What are the chances of running into someone from this board at Dana Farber.

Talk with you soon

Matt

ps - is this easy to install?
