When my remote key-head died, I bought a valet key head and swapped the chip from the remote head to the valet key head.

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I called the local dealer to get a valet key for my 2000 boxster porsche and he said that I can only get a full key since he does not have a part number. Is this true? Thanks Nick

POST 2Original post

I was trying to get a valet key recently, and reached the same dead end. No one new about the valet key, despite the picture of one in the owners manual. I ended up getting a key made by a local locksmith with a laser key cutter. It works great for surfing, etc. but it lacks the transmitter so the car will immobilized if you try and start the car with it. If you only want a key to get in/out of the car I would go this route as it cost me about $40, vs. $200 for a valet key, if you can find one. My key: http://web.mac.com/rick3000/Mods/Key.html

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I found this part number OEM-99653842301 does that part have the chip so the car will start?

POST 4Original post

That part appears to just be the smaller key cap that is inside the full key with the transmitter and battery, etc. So no it doesn't have the chip.

POST 5Original post

When my remote key-head died, I bought a valet key head and swapped the chip from the remote head to the valet key head. I also swapped the metal key from the remote head to the valet head. Now I have a spare key I can keep in my wallet, instead of a spare key with a big dead remote on it. This thread discusses it. I can't remember where I found the part number for the head. I think it was on renntech somewhere. Here's the other thread, but no part number is to be found there. http://986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14296&highlight=valet+key
