I replaced the battery, fixed the broken solder joint for the switch and the remote still wouldn't work.

Suggestion

Suncoast sells a GT key head for $129 - sounds like it would replace a 996 head (but would still need to be programmed).

Suggestion · Original poster

So after a month of having to use the key I got fed up and decided to just go to the dealer and see just how far they were going to bend me over to buy a new remote head and code it to my car.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If you remember my last post about my remote head... I replaced the battery, fixed the broken solder joint for the switch and the remote still wouldn't work. So after a month of having to use the key I got fed up and decided to just go to the dealer and see just how far they were going to bend me over to buy a new remote head and code it to my car. I walked into the parts dept and told the guy what I needed and asked how much it would be. He looked it up and told me it's $180 just for the head and then another $50 to code it to my car. YGBFKM?! Grrr.... So after my PCA discount was applied, I walked out the door with a bill for $217 but at least I now have a new remote head that works.

POST 2Original post

POST 3Original post

POST 5Original post

I have a MY2000, without the front hood release. I wonder if this will work with my parts. It looks great!
