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.

I bought this flip key from ebay for 50bucks. before i transfer my original boxster key components (circuit board, battery) into this new key and attempt to line up the buttons, i would like to know some thoughts on the matter.... This key is heaps cooler than the original but there is a risk of turning my 1 old key into 2 broken keys :-/
Someone has to be the first.... let us know how this turns out.
This looks too interesting. Tell us how it goes!
Cool! I'd buy one of those ... If it works!
i always wondered why porsche didn't go to the vw style keys. though the jetta we had the key always collected all kinds of crud in the key recess...
I'm going through a "retro" period. I prefer my no-frills key: But I have always wondered why my '03 Porsche key isn't nearly as nice as my '00 Audi TT was...

Did you ever get this to work?
Geez, that looks like a challenge. What I really want is an RFID like key that detects when I am within 10 feet of the car and unlocks. When I leave and go more than 10 feet it should auto lock. With technology today that should be pretty easy to do...now that would be worth some effort. Guess you still have to get the keys out of your pocket to start the car but thats a good phase 2 project...push button starting. I always thought cars technology lagged so far behind and can not understand why they don't adopt the new technologies more aggressively, they have nice sized development departments so its not like they don't have or couldn't contract this work out.

My 1996 Corvette does this - I don't know why all cars don't. It's awesome.
