Curiosity with key FOBS
 

Rx'd a new one from Pelican, as well as a new blank,..locksmith made quick work of it. THEN, I noticed something that looks a bit different.

Clearly, my original is worn, but the colors look to be black and silver,..which would match the wheel centers on my '89 Silver Anniversary Edition.

Do any other owners of the S.A. Edition have an original key FOB from 89? Very curious on this detail.

Pics attached,....http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1353183119.jpg

Colored is the oem from the factory. The peuter black are replace crests.

I have both but prefer the peuter black :D

My 89 SA has a colored crest on the key.

Thanks!

chococrazy: is your KeyFOB the original from '89?

Silver Crest on Key Head
 

Have owned several 1989s and all came from the factory with the silver crest mounted in the key head. Perhaps the key crests were changed to full color when the front hood crest was changed to the black "PORSCHE" at the top.

silver crests came first, followed by the color crest mfg. could not say what year that happened

I knew it!!!!!!! Now,..where to find the proper key FOB (head) for my year car...

Thanks for the input!

Weird, I swear I read it was the other way around. Oh well Doyle you can purchase just the silver black crest and swap it if you want.

Damned right I will!!!!!!!!!!!!! Matches the car much better (hehehe).

I'll give my current one to the Wife to use (in an emergency),..order another blank and do it again....

Thanks to all!


Doyle

:d

Thanks for the PM, DRACO. Period correct FOB is now on order,..here's to peuter!!!!!!!!!!

BEST!

Doyle

I'd change that picture by cropping out the key portion. It would take about 15-20 min with a file to make a dupe of your key... (added an altered version above to edit your post with...)

Well, too late now you quoted the pic, can you delete please?

Good, you saw it.
I photochopped it after realizing I was continuing the problem.

Thank sir =)

Wow that's some attention to detail! I hardly look at any of my keys for any vehicle - so long as they work. LOL.


Good luck getting it sorted OP.

The OP has already sorted it out,..thanks! Proper parts are on their way!!!!!!!

Glad I cropped my pic!!!!!!!!!! (hehehe)

Key heads
 

For reference, my two '85s came with original pewter-colored crests on key heads, so am confident that version was used in '85.

Thanks Jon
