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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone changed the 996 key fob to the one from suncoast? http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/911DESIGN.html Have been procrastinating, just held back by the ridiculous shipping cost of the item ($60 USD)

POST 2Original post

that is nice - maybe a group buy

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, my key looks tired and seems to be the only alternative - Its based off the GT Carrera key http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/GTHEAD.html

POST 4Original post

I used the Carerra GT key head for mine. My original key had a dead transponder and the GT key had came with the electronics so it made more sense for me. With that one it should be no problems to swap over the electronics and the pill from your original key and have it work straight away. I had to get Autohaus setup my new key for me with a code from Porsche based off my VIN number.

Nice..Do you remember if the GT key fob was cheaper than $270ish? Any regrets with the fob?

POST 6Original post

That price sounds about right give or take. No regrets. The only bump in the road of getting it done was forgetting to tell the technician that my car was a 1999, so he wasted some time trying to figure out why the second button wouldn't open the froot.
