Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I have purchased these heads used, on EBay, at different times and swapped my stock key guts/blade into them with no problems.

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

I have a set of 997.1 keys from my totaled 997 GT3....Was wondering if I can reuse them. Can you program a 997.1 Key to operate a 2000 996. Same goes for a 997 to 986.

POST 2Original post

If the 996/986 key fob internals fit inside the 997 key fob then just shift them over. It should work.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

yeah...but the buttons don't line up...trying to see if I can actually program the fob to work?

POST 5Original post

You can't sway the internals form a 996 key to a 997 fob. The switches are I a different configuration 996 - triangle 997 - inline It may be possible to buy a new 997 fob and have a 996 programmedfor it. I have no idea if the electronics are compatible. Its doubtful a dealer will do it and you pretty much have no choice but a dealer to program a car for a key. In addition to needing a PWIS or PST2, you need to have the double super secrete codes from Porsche

THe article shows going from 997.1 to 997.2...My question is 997.1 to 996.

POST 7Original post

I have purchased these heads used, on EBay, at different times and swapped my stock key guts/blade into them with no problems. (From a 2003 C2 and 2004 Turbo) Actually I had to file the edge of the blade down to get the lock to engage on one of them. YMMV https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...g/00004400083/ For as long as the listing lasts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-New-Replac...3D191053161319 .
