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 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.

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.

My main button on my 997.2 key fell off and I had no idea where - probably didn't matter because if it falls off, it's likely broken. So I ordered this to replace it and it worked perfectly. I didn't have to transfer the internals, so I have no idea how easy that transponder would be to deal with but the top cover with the buttons fit perfectly onto the original key. This is a really good quality key case - looks identical to the original and is just as nice. Also, take note: the Porsche crest is not on the backside of the case, but is included inside the case and apparently has adhesive on the back so that it can be attached into the recessed area on the case. I'm saving all that incase I need it later.Need to repair your 99.2 key - don't think twice, just order this and save a tone of money compared to Porsche.

A little tricky to install (watch out for the spring) only thing missing is the crest … worth the money

My original key was cracked and the 2032 battery kept falling out. I have the 2 button key fob. Yes, it did take about a half hour to successfully change the components. I was forced to reuse the old silicone rubber holder for the electronics as the PC board was smaller than the fit of the new holder. Fortunately, the old one was intact and not damaged. I am deducting half a star for that lack of fitment. The major problem was that the battery contact points, after removal from the old fob, were loose and would not keep in place. I was forced to bend the contacts sufficiently to create more friction in order to hold the contacts in the replacement. Deduct 1 star. My rating 3 1/2 stars overall. Possibly other cars would be a better fit, but if you are working with a 997 key, anticipate some extra time and frustration to keep the parts installed. I am used to doing delicate neurosurgery and watch repair, so I had sufficient tools and loupes for better magnification to handle the job. It was disappointing that the contacts had to be modified so much in order to ensure proper battery contact. The new fob works with the car without problem though.

I dropped the key for my 2011 911 Cabriolet and one of the plastic buttons broke off. I ordered this item and used the plastic button half of the case (I’ll call it the top half). The entire process took less than a minute and it’s working perfectly as near as I can tell.The only mistake I made is that I should have ordered a 2 button replacement as the third button is unused on my car. Overall I’m very happy with this inexpensive fix. No key cutting, minimal effort, good as new.

Had a 987.1 keyboard with a missing lock/unlock button. This worked perfectly just swapped the side with the buttons and silicone protector right onto my OEM porsche key and it fit like a glove!
