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

Hello, A fingertip switch cap fell out of my Boxster 987 key fob (see photo). I can't find away to buy a replacement switch cap. As my spare key is broken I thought I would buy a replacement key fob, with internal components, and get it programmed to fit my car. Excuse me being dumb but I can't find the right part (or parts) on the Design 911 website, nor on the Parts-Wise.com website. Could a member of this Boxster group on Pistonheads advise me on what to do please? How can I buy a key fob + components for the car and then, a second question, get it programmed? I'm based in Croydon, Surrey, by the way.

Buy a replacement key from eBay and swap the relevant parts over. Should be a simple five minute diy job. You should be able to swap the blade as well. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304231621726?_skw=porsc...

Thank you Trevor. I have initiated the buy from eBay. Cheers ... Chris.
