986 97' Remote Control

[scherb]

Hello,

I am wanting to use another color key head for my silver artic boxster. I bought a key from Suncoast porsche and returned it as the Dealer (steves) said they could not program it.

As part of my research I think I can change the capsule on the Carrera GT for my "programmed" and be able to use the enclosure (plastics) of the silver color head.

I starting thinking of this after I returned it...java script:emoticon(':huh:')

I have a picture of what my remote look like and I need help from Carrera GT owners to see if they can open their key and shoot some pictures, interested in seeing if the internal design is the same as this old key. Hope you can help.

Keep us updated on your progress the CGT head looks nice.

Any idea of cost?

Suncoast Porsche has it for $115 +T&S. I returned mine without being creative and testing what I am now trying to do... still have not had any response on a open remote picture from a CGT owner -_-

I was Stevens Creek to pick up my Carrera GT book and spoke to Peter, and guess what. They had a Carrera GT in the shop for a clutch replacement so he showed me the key. He has never open one yet to see if the inside is the same as a Boxster key head.

He thought it would might work on a 2 button Boxster key head. Take the pill out of the Boxster and put it in the the CGT and program the CGT head for the Boxster car. I was not about to ask him if I could open the CGT key head on a customer's car and see if it lookes the same as a Boxster.

But not on a 1997 Boxster as that is the strange year.
