Default Key Fob broke, CPO upgraded free!

So my keyfob on my 997.1 broke and the dealer upgraded me to the 997.2 key under the CPO. Yipee!

The new fob has a few benefits:

- feels heavier and more robust
- all black and sexier (IMO)
- trunk release is hinged at the front instead of the back of the button so it's all but impossible for it to be activated accidentally.

All this and the Dealer (Mark Motors of Ottawa) cleaned the car for me!

CHV,
This key ring originally came with some heavy metal parts, although nice, I took them off and attached the ribbon directly to the key. Looks like this originally, can't find the exact one:

I don't use a key chain for my Pcar key. Actually despise key chains in general.
