Poser, I thought this was just for boxsters?

nope, group buy open to all porsches- not just boxsters...

this is the website for the product, just click on "north america",then "online shop- all products", then "porsche"

https://www.wilhelmy-it.de/

here's what it says on their website:

Product Features:

* Remote window control: Easy one-touch comfort operation of windows with the original remote on all models (US and Euro) by holding down the power-locks button. No extra remote fob or reprogramming of the key or car is necessary!

* On 987 Boxsters the top can be operated in one-touch mode while the car is halted. Also, top operation is not interrupted when coming to a stop.

* The "Lock-In" feature locks the doors once the car starts moving. In contrast to the original Porsche feature which can only be enabled or disabled at the dealership, this feature is user-programmable and even better, optionally the doors also unlock when the engine is switched off and the key removed.

* Home light XL: The Headlights can be activated for 30 seconds at any time by tapping the trunk button on the remote twice. Tapping the button twice again before the time runs out will switch the lights off immediately.

* Trunk button delay: Prevents accidental opening of the trunk in most cases. If activated, the trunk can only be opened by holding down the trunk button on the remote for longer.

* Chirp on lock/unlock: If activated, the alarm horn will give brief "chirp"signals when locking/unlocking the car.

* Auto-Tilt function for the passenger-side mirror on reverse gear. A great addition for cars without seat-memory.

* Passenger window auto-up fix for all cars where the window will only roll up automatically once it is past half way. Usually found on 997 Coupes

* User programmable: All features can be individually enabled or disabled. Some also allow different personal preferences to be set. All settings are retained even if the car battery is disconnected.

* Shop/Diagnose mode: The chip can be set to be completely passive, as if it was not installed at all. It becomes "invisible" and will not interfere with any dealer diagnostic tools.












so, basically it allows you to roll the windows up/down from the key, gives you aubible confirmation when locking/unlocking your car, allows you to program the door locks on your own, tilts the passenger mirror when reverse is engaged, aloows you to turn lights on at will from the key, and puts a delay so you have to hold the trunk button down longer on the remote to open it...

i dunno about you guys, but it seems WAY to easy to accidentally pop the trunk with the key...i've had a few instances where i found it open when i didnt want it to...i also like the idea of hearing chirps when the car locks/unlocks, so i dont need to be looking at the car for flashes of the parking lights when i park it to make sure it locked...

i also have a similar item on the vette, and i use the window roll up/down feature on it...works GREAT on a hot day...i just roll the windows down from the remote before i get to the car...

install doesnt seem too bad, an article is written for it...

Poser, thanks for the info.
I am one who likes to hear a chirp when it's locked.

Where are you having it installed at, or are you planning to do it yourself?

Hi.....POSER

Thanks for explaining. Yeah....I like the chirp feature too. It lets me know if the car is locked or not.

No, don't think this mod would be of value to me. I have seat memory already, my key has to be depressed for a bit before the hatches unlock so haven't had a problem accidently unlocking them, and I can already hear the doors lock along with seeing the 2 light flashes.

aloha, alan

same for me, except since i don't have seat memory, i think that i would appreciate the passenger-side rearview mirror feature. with respect to the lock feature, it doesn't take too much effort for me to depress the central locking button to lock and unlock the doors. as for the window feature, it doesn't strike me as a feature i would utilize (in fact, i haven't even thought about using the remote to lower or raise the windows).

consequently, i don't think i'll get it just for the mirror feature.

works GREAT...i like how the horn chirps to let me know the car is locked/unlocked...i can exit the car w/o rolling up the windows, since i can do it from the remote...the mirror dips down as intended...and no more accidental opening the trunk...

Group Buy Remote Key....

Hi....

My remote key was installed and it's a neat thing to have. The best feature on it is the alarm chirp...when it's locked it chirps twice and it chirps once for when it's unlocked. It has so many great stuffs on it. It was well worth the price!!!

Also...I got the clear markers on my car too. It gives it a COOL look!!!

Thanks....POSER!!! You deserve all the credit....

Will RemoteKey invalidate Warranty?

Since you have to cut into the existing wiring loom at the rear of the fuse box, does anyone know how installing this will affect my warranty? My Boxster is late '07 with 18 months to run.
