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

Hi guys i have taken delivery of my new to me 987 from Autohaus, great to deal with btw. Now, both original key fobs work but keep splitting open and at times remote locking does not work. Where do I source new fobs and transfer the inner workings as I understand new complete keys are worth more than kidneys. is there a place I send them or do I eBay a couple and transfer the internal parts my self thank you

POST 3Original post

Ebay replacement is your best bet. Transfer the internals yourself, just a bit of mucking around getting the transponder chip out!

POST 5Original post

I've a few from Ali Express .. I had a habit of dropping the keys and the bottom button breaking. They were about $18 each, but takes a month or two.

POST 6Original post

If you are in the habit of dropping your keys - you might want to consider getting a leather key pouch like one of these: https://www.ebay.com.au/i/124179981851?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-139619-5960-0&mkcid=2&itemid=124179981851&targetid=921460872233&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9071771&poi=&campaignid=10101785207&mkgroupid=102311924860&rlsatarget=aud-786643581566:pla-921460872233&abcId=9300368&merchantid=7364522&gclid=CjwKCAjw97P5BRBQEiwAGflV6dJYoglvtYXbmGno5Max2-0FxxNkXHWfU89K2BU7aYLCooIg06QWnBoCHOwQAvD_BwE Or if you want something more expensive: https://sites.google.com/site/aracelideroche/porsche-design-keycase-lz2-key-wallet-mens Easier than having to replace the fob each time you break it.

POST 7Original post

Good idea, but far too big for me with modern car keys. I ended up getting a cheap silicone cover. But since having it I've not dropped them to test. https://images.app.goo.gl/DzVmmS7TZGcoMSwL6

I have that too and I still put the key into a key pouch. So that the key doesn't make holes in my trouser pockets either.

POST 9Original post

Does anyone know where to get replacement microswitches?

POST 10Original post

Aligned with the thread…micro switches for the key fob. I found some in AliExpress, less than $5 delivered in a week.

POST 12Original post

Can you link us @Kevvie ? My spare key doesn't seem to play nice when it comes to the switches.
