Porsche quality at a very fair price
The LED light is far better than the original and the key fit as well as the finish of the head are Porsche par. Nice upgrade at a fair price. You need this to find the ignition switch in the dark. Go online to find the "How To's" of removing the key from your old device if you are reusing it. I used the key from the awkward "switchblade" key holder to upgrade my 993.Read full review...

OEM Porsche key blank and head for older 911s
Quality OEM piece, very bright LED light. Fitment list is not complete. This key works fine for my 1978 930.
However, you need to be careful when you have the key cut. First place I went (in a mall kiosk) told me there was a 10% chance it would not work (even though I provided the original key for the template for cutting the new one), and that if it didn't work it was not their problem. FTS. Wasn't gonna risk my $60 key with those Bozos. Then went to a real locksmith. No problem. Charged $5. Gave him $10. Take the key to the best, most full-service locksmith you can find. It isn't worth a couple bucks saved to risk having it screwed up.Read full review...

you can do it! depress the little spring, tilt the blade and remove and put in new head with light
The head is fine and great improvement for night or dark trying to find the slot. The slight problem was finding the way to remove the blade from the from the old key. the locksmith knew how to do it. when U open the old head you see a slot with a small spring in it. you must compress that spring to be able to twist the blade for removal. ( by twist I mean you cannot pull it straight out, it must be tilted) If you look at the blade one side slips in and you tilt so the other straight goes in and then that little spring holds it in. I tried for some time to figure it out but the locksmith saw in a second---the little spring.Read full review...

Nice upgrade.
This lighted key head is a nice upgrade from an old aftermarket key. The key head I purchased came with the battery installed.

Just what I was looking for
I needed a new key head and this is just what I was looking for. My only comment is that I wish it came with directions on how to change key heads from the one I currently have. How do you separate the head without damaging it and how to insert the key properly. I am unable to find information about this on the internet. Read full review...

Genuine Porsche quality
This replacement genuine Porsche replacement key fob was easy to install and worked perfectly for my wife's 1989 911 Cabriolet. We will never know if this one lasts as long as the first one as we would have to live to be 100! That and the car only averages 250 miles/year!Read full review...

Better than the Original
this is a wonderful replacement for the original keys. They blade the pops out of your old key, will slide right into this one. Which comes with an LED light, instead of the old incandescent bulbs.

A little difficult to remove the old and replace, but worth the result
Working only from looking at the key, there are several pieces that must be removed, moved or 'unlatched' before the old one, the key head, which has been in place since 1986 is forcibly removed. Literally had to put the shank into a vice and pull.
Once you understand all of the moving parts, the new one goes in like a dream.
BE CAREFUL, there is a VERY little spring that hold a 'locking mechanism' in place. The spring has a tendency to fly :(Read full review...
