Other countries run a different frequency apparently so I would have to know which supplier has our frequency.

Or use some rubbing alcohol\goop off to dissolve the glue then an exacto knife to dislodge the transponder
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.

Dealer says $345 for the remote head alone + $192 to program. Ouch...
Anyone had success with after market remote heads?
Other countries run a different frequency apparently so I would have to know which supplier has our frequency.
Just straight off google, but won't people like this be able to reprogram a transponder chip to match?

what is wrong with your key? lost it?
I only have one remote key and the open close switch is coming apart. I'm off to a tech to see if he can replace that switch.
Only the dealer can program it to the car.
Even the locksmith said beware of ebay remotes, they could be wrong frequency. He has heard it many times.
He thinks his tech should be able to put a switch it if he can get the same one.
Thank you for the link. Unfortunately they can't help.
so your PCB and transponder is okay?
then you can buy the key shells from ebay and remove your original PCB and Transponder and rehouse them in the new case

Which I am planning to do with my crap 997 key
I will be buying a new case.
My transponder is fine. My Pcb as you say is ok, however the switch on the circuit board that activates the lock for the doors is coming apart. Someone has been heavy handed. I have repaired it for now.
Had an interesting thought last night.
I had intended to buy an 04 last week but it was stolen.
He still had his keys and I thought I should be able to use the head of it and have it programmed to my car.
Since the dealer said he had one in stock all the time, I imagine this to be possible.
So I called ol mate, and the insurance company took them and is investigating him (and apparently me as well).
Too bad, would have been a cheap option.
Be warned its fiddly getting the contacts out to be swapped into new housing, and the transponder is also a pain. But I am happy with new key housing, so much nicer then old one.
