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

Tried to search this topic but had no luck unfortunately. My transmitter stopped working on my '03 996 Targa (still can unlock/start the car with the key - remote buttons don't work) and I'm looking for a new remote. I was able to find 2 button 996 transmitter and 3 button 986 Boxster transmitter. Does anyone know if 986 transmitter will work on 996? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

The key fobs with buttons have to be coded to the vehicle. You need to key fob code (piece of paper with code on it) to have the dealer/independent code the fob to the vehicle.

POST 3Original post

Yes, the Boxster remote also fits the 911 Targa Part # 98663724418
