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.

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.

hi i searched and read tons of stuff but didnt find the answer
i have a single button remote and want to switch to another case and was wondering if the 3 button one will work? the amount of single button ones are scarce
i know that i have to move the chip, internals etc that i am not worried about, i am just not sure if the internals line up so the button works, i know the other 2 will not work
i would just like to have a case with less scratches
Since I've never opened my remote case, I'm just speculating here, so take it with a grain....
Most key remotes have contacts on the internal circuit board that either a) are bridged by a conductive "pad" on the associated button, or b) have a small spring bronze strip that is pressed by the button to bridge the circuits.
That means that the position of the button cannot be changed. So, in your case, *IF* the circuit board fits into the key head (in and of itself a probable issue...), if one of the "new" buttons lines up with the contacts on the old circuit board, it should work. You might have to press the frunk button to open the doors, IOW.
But I may be just blowing smoke and it will drop in like it was made for it...
^ thats exactly why i was wondering if anyone knew because i have no idea if they will line up or not
if nobody knows i found a single button one from poland at least
Why 3? How about 2 button head? I have a old 2 button head you can have if it works for you. I changed to a Porsche design head. What does yours look like?
Available one looks like this:

My New one Looks like this:

not sure if the 2 button works either but comparing all 3 from pictures it looks like the main button is in the same spot
mine looks like this

This is from an ad for the fancy "911" 2 button key head. If this works with a 1 or 2 button head any 2 button case should work.
I have one like this that had a bad transmitter I got it from EBay for ~$40 at the time. I put the guts from my 2 button head in and it works fine.
"This stylish remote key head housing is inspired by the Carrera GT key design. Shaped like the Carrera GT key head, but with a "911" logo instead of a "GT" logo, which lights up in red when a button is pressed. The transmitter and key blade will need to be removed from your old key housing and swapped into this one. This
remote housing will also work with 1999-2000 remotes, however the trunk release button will not function."
