Hi folks

I've a 997 C2S gen1. The lock/unlock button has just broken and fallen out of my key fob.

I bought the key repair kit only to find the OPC I bought the car from a coupl of years back had given me a set of Gen 2 keys (i.e. the black/chrome one not the grey two-tone that falls to bits).

Sadly, although the buttons look exactly the same in the repair kit they are slightly different and don't fit :(

So does anyone have a spare (even broken as long as the tiny lock/unlock bit isn't) I could buy?

Looked on eBay and loads of Gen1 but no Gen II (or Boxter/Cayman, I think they are all the same key).

Cheers

Tom
 
Is it the actual button or the micto switch on the circuit board that's broken?

Assuming the former swap your circuit board, transponder and blade into the gen2 key
 
The problem with shopping key internals is there's a diode in the key thats part of the immobiliser
You can swop the circuit board and the buttons and the key blade
But the casing holds this little diode
If that's the broken part you need a new case that will then need coding at an Opc's
 
That diode/transponder can also be swapped
 
Hi folks - thanks for the posts.

It is simply (and that's what's so annoying) the plastic button itself. This is a single piece of plastic which pivots inside the key when you lock/unlock.

So - I don't need a new key, I don't need it recoding, it all still works. It's just this single piece of plastic has snapped (and I don't have the bits so I can't even bodge it back together).

The Gen I key repair kit has this bit of plastic - but as I say, whilst it looks virtually identical it isn't and it doesn't fit.

And from what I can see there isn't a GenII key repair kit.

Loads of GenI keys on eBay. Not a sniff of a GenII :D

That's why I wondered if anyone had a broken key that I could buy - as long as that tiny button is intact that's all I need - I can do a 30 second transplant operation :)

Cheers, Tom.
 
resurrection of an old thread here - but I just had the same.

Main dealer just told me its a new fob at £129, but its literally the plastic lock and unlock button I need - anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
 
Thanks Phil - useful as ever - I had looked at those but £50 for a button kit still looks quite dear - especially when I now need 2.

Will someone please remind me not to take the working key apart to see if I can fix the broken one please.......

:sad: :sad: :sad:
