Left 2 voice mail messages with the part # and no return phone call. Pretty bad customer service. Don't know too many businesses that don't want my $$.
Took Ben's advice, and ordered from Phil Coy in Oregon. $106.01 + $5 to ship. Can't beat it!

Is this the product?
Near the bottom it shows:
"This will fit a 2001-2004.5 Carrera 996 (except Targa)."
So ... it only works for 2001-2004.5 996's?
It even says:
"The Design key is only available for keys with two-buttons (central locking system and front trunk lid)"
but then again someone on here said it also works for '99-'00 even though the key is different, it's 1 button.
So which is true? I have a 2000 C2 Cab and the key mod looks awesome but I don't want to buy it and realize I can't use it ..

99 C2. I did this mod a couple years ago with the GT key. (911 key was not avail yet). I used the entire key and had the dealer program it, only one button functions (doorlocks).
range increased dramatically.

My car has only one key and the remote stopped working.
Can I order the 911 key with the internal? or the internals separately?
I would like to use the old key as a spare, so I will purchase a new blank blade.
Thanks,
Danny M

You have to order a regular key head remote in addition to the 911 remote head cover. The 911 remote head is a plastic cover only. Some GT3 remote heads come with the internals, depending on where you order, and it costs a little more.

remove the crystal (transponder) that comes inside the new key. try to get the black glue residue out. Remove the crystal from your old key (very careful) and place it inside the new casing. If you don't put any glue, it will bounce inside... with a hot glue gun just place a drop or two. wait 10 seconds and you are done. Place the rest of the internals and enjoy.
i hope this helps!

same thing happened to me at local dealership. service guy was like "cool key. that looks like the carrera GT key. where'd you get it?" i told him it was a porsche design part. i wonder if the parts guys don't talk to the service guys.
