Hi all,
Thought I'd share some handy work I managed over the weekend.
One of my 997 keys was looking tired and had a cracked casing, so I took the plunge and decided to strip it down and fit it into a gen 2 case ordered online.
To get it done you have to stip the internals from old key, including very carefully cutting away the glue around the transponder, and tranfer everything across into the new casing.
It was quite fiddly, but I am very pleased with the results, and so far it works perfectly.
Key is much improved vs the earlier version, much more weighty and substantial, and buttons are recessed so its harder to open the doors/frunk by mistake.
Few pics below.. enjoy
