After I read your post about changing your key over to a 911 Design keyhead, I wanted to see if I could do it for a three button version as I use the third button for the roof.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone know (Richard!!!) if the three button 997 key, part number [FONT=arial black"] 997 637 244 36 can be used for my Cabriolet three button key for my 996. The key is looking pretty tired and one of the buttons has split. I was hoping to be able to transfer the key blade, guts and transponder into the new key. Has anyone done this? Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thanks for your advice.

POST 2Original post

I did this on a 987 gen 2 key, moved all the guts over, transponder and blade to a new housing. Works fine.

POST 3Original post

You can buy the part of the 9x6 key which has the buttons separately. About £18. I think I might be able to get hold of a second-hand 9x7 Gen 1 key head, so I'll check it out if I can.

POST 4Original post

I can't see how a 9x7 Gen 1 key case would work. Here is a photo, and you can see that the battery is in one side of the case, and the circuit board in the other. Underneath is a 9x6 circuit board.

POST 5Original post

I can't see how a Gen 2 key head would work either........ well, not easily.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for that Richard. After I read your post about changing your key over to a 911 Design keyhead, I wanted to see if I could do it for a three button version as I use the third button for the roof. Never mind. Can you tell me where I can get a replacement cover for my exisitng key [ ]. Thanks for your help

POST 7Original post

Any OPC. Part number 996.637.355.00 (for the Cabrio) @ £18.06+VAT before PCGB discount. The description of the item is "Handheld Transmitter Upper Part".

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard
