Possible Key Heads

[CabrioArtie]

The key head of my key fob is really beaten up and I was thinking about replacing it. I know I can move the guts to a new 996 key head or what they call a 911 design key. But, I was wondering if the guts could be moved to any other key head, for example a 997.

And, the key I fob I have today is a 2 button fob.

Thanks

I think I know what you are going for, but I don't have an answer. I did find some information since I am in the process of getting new keys I can share.

This is replacing the fob on a 996 with the updated one

And this is a 997 2 button cover cheap on ebay

In these posts the pictures of the inside and the chip. It looks to me like it will fit, but I can't say for sure. You are going to have to look through the pics yourself and decide if you want to take the risk.

I replaced my key head recently with the 911 Key Head.

Big difference.

The 997 key head will NOT fit.
