My 996tt Key is just too badly abused to be used lol
So SunCoast Porsche Dealer (look to the right for their banner) was kind enough to honor the PCA discount and sent me the NEW design KEY which is an easy gut swap from old to new! As this process went on you can really see and feel why they went with a new key design. New weather seal design is much better and and the construction is 100% more solid. Of course its light years more pleasing to own.

New Key



Old and New OPENed Up


Remove the Transmitting Crystal


Pull back this Clip

Pull out the Circuit


Pull the woodriff key out that is sitting on a spring to release the pressure on the key blade it self



Pull and you have one dirty key...


Clean the Key Blade using metal polish and bronze wire brush (bronze so you don't scratch the key blade when cleaning.) LOTS of dirt from the keyblade!



So fresh and clean your Key Blade will be


Don't forget to clean the tract ... do it right!

Looks like I'll be calling suncoast porsche and using my PCA as well. Thanks for the great little mod.

 

I'm in too, great job. I want you to swap mine!

 

Thanks guys glad you saw the light. =)

pretty clever, nice write up.

 

Great write up with Pix!!! Easy DIY for even the least mechanically inclined.

 

nice DIY, thanks !

 

Well done!

 

had mine for a couple of months now, very happy with it, much better than the old one

 

Thanks again to all who enjoyed the idea.

Thanks to you guys for selling it so cheap! Couldn't have done it other wise. Although the touch up paint you guys sent me was 1/10th the price of my dealer.

Couldn't agree more

 

I did this mod. It is worth doing...nice photos, btw!
