2 Buttons Replacement Key Fob Case Shell fit for Porsche 911 Cayman Boxster Carrera GT Keyless Remote Key Fob Cover

Here is why it gets 5 stars in my book... It comes exactly as described, and does not include the Porsche crest on the back side of the fob. I knew this going in, not a problem, but i forgot to order the crest and was feeling nit picky when I went to swap over. I didn't want to tear up the old key casing until I had the crest for the new fob backing. At the same time I was tired of one of the buttons on the opposite side falling off the fob with the old key...Long story short, I swapped the button facing side and rubber button pad onto the back half of the old fob, essentially using the back half of the old key and the front half of the new one. Snapped together just like the factory and worked great. It looks and feels sturdier than the original, but the dimensions and internals are absolutely identical. If it weren't for the price tag, you'd never know this wasn't a factory key shell.If there was a 6th star for a review, this would have gotten it. Great product and exactly as advertised.

I am not one to write lots of reviews but I wanted potential buyers to know this is a great product, much sturdier and better looking than the OEM key from my 2005 Porsche Boxster. HOWEVER, it can be a bit difficult to move the old key electronics and place them into this shell. In particular, the battery contacts and the transponder from the original key need to be taken out and put in the new shell. This process requires cutting up the old key to get the glued in transponder out in order to place it in the new key fob. Simply look for a youtube video on swapping out Porsche key fob electronics to see how to do it. Once done, the key is better than the original!

I dropped the key to my 997.2, 911 Turbo S and the button with the red part broke off. Glad to find this verse the dealer suggesting a $800 new key order. I only used the side with the buttons, it clicked perfectly into the other half of the original key, took 2 minutes, recommended if your buttons are broken.

great product and an upgrade from the 987-1 key.But be aware that the metal tabs for the battery must also be installed and used from the old key as well as the electronics. Having said that this is a much better and stronger key than the original including the metal attachment for a key ring where the original is plastic.

Very close copy. Dimensions accurate enough to move all internals over without fuss. The plastic though is a lower grade (to be expected) and the texture doesn't quite match OEM. I broke one button on my OEM unit so in the end I just used the button from this which did the job.

I bought two of these to replace the original set of keys for my '05 Porsche 911, and can't be any happier with the change. Both of my keys had cracked and one occasionally separated to spill out its guts in the parking lot. I was skeptical but the quality of the new units is superb and feels much better in my hand, with a studier and more attractive matte key fob. It took me about 30-40 minutes to change the internal parts out to the new unit, but I was quicker on the second one. By far the hardest part is removing the transponder in the original key, which as others noted is glued in. My method was to use a box cutter to cut out the narrow sides of the transponder, then score and carefully wedge away the plastic on the longer sides of the transponder. At first I was very carefully and light on my cutting, but realized quickly that I needed to be more forceful to cut away the surrounding plastic walls (where the transponder sits inside). Needle nose pliers help with the removing the battery contacts too. I was happy to find a new Porsche decal with adhesive backing in the unit as well to place on the key. You can either cut the key that comes with the new unit or simply transplant the original key to the new fob, which is what I did and was very easy (just keep an eye not to lose the spring that holds it in). I also kept and used the old silicone casing around the circuit board because it had a little lip that held the circuit board in, which the new silicone casing did not. Overall, it's remarkable value in terms of quality for less than $20 and less than an hour of your time per key.

great replacement for my broken 997 key. Absolutely takes some patience to move battery connections and transponder from old key fob to new so if youre not comfortable doing that, this is not the product for you. If you have a bit of skill and patience, this will save you hundreds over a factory replacement.

5 star end result, but no mention of transponder location and difficulty of removal.replaced an old key, I had no idea really how the key worked or what the transponder is. The instructions in the image are good, but incomplete. I followed them and had the pieces taken out of old key: key, key pin to hold it in, spring, so I figure that's the only 3 pieces I needed from the old key case. The electronics and contact points for the battery are pretty obvious, BUT the fact that you need to transfer the transponder to the new case wasn't anywhere to be found.also, it's incredibly difficult to remove the responder from it's location, it's glued in place, I basically tool two pliers and completely destroyed my old case, this was fine, I was just worried about damaging the transponder, (it's a little black thing that some other reviewers have posted pictures of).the end result was awesome, I love, it, can't tell it apart from factory (other than the lack of Porsche crest, but for under $20, an acceptable compromise for me at least)1 star is harsh, but my hope is the seller takes it to heart and updates the instructions or puts something somewhere to make things more clear
