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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone know if you can change the blade and board from a standard 996 key head to a 997 key head? I know you can do this with the 911 gt style key head that sun coast sells, just unsure if the same applies for the 997 key. Thx

POST 3Original post

It is my understanding that the circuit board shape does not fit. Also, it is the circuit board, blade AND the RFID pill that needs to go in another head.

133$ for a piece of plastic ... I have done it too ... but I think it is outrageous after I see the lack of finishing touch.

Totally agree, I did it too, works great. But I was underwhelmed by the build quality.
