I've had several fobs programmed in the past at an independent shop which used an Autologic computer to do the job.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi maytag, yes. Well, sort of - I have two fobs that are not working anymore. I think I can get the buttons aligned and the red light flashes but they don't actually do anything.
That make sense? Where in Utah are you? I am sometimes in Park City
If the actual key works, and only the switches on the fob are not functioning, there may be a problem with broken solder joints on the circuit board.

Just sayin'.........

Yes, thank you 78F350 - I noticed that. Something is up with the circuit itself, probably need the buttons re-soldered. Haven't heard back from @particlewave... thoughts?
I have the same issue, but one key works fine and the other doesn't.
It flashes the same as the one working, I changed the battery and still does not work with the car. I just bought the car a week ago and the owner said maybe a battery.
Possibly have to go to the dealer to get it programmed, I don't really need the key now but would still like both keys to be working.
I had the same issue when I purchased my car. One key fob worked, one did not. I ended up going to the dealer to have a new key fob paired with the car. Rick
Where would I find the barcode, I have I think everything the new car came with (all the manuals & literature) also have a radio code card, but don’t see any kind of bar code.
Two codes are needed to program a replacement key fob. One is for the fob itself and the other is for the car. The fob code comes on a tag with a new unit. The car code may be found under the driver's seat (I'm not 100% sure about this) or a Porsche dealer can provide it. The dealer just needs the Vin to get the code. They may be resistant to giving it out, but keep pushing to get it. I've had several fobs programmed in the past at an independent shop which used an Autologic computer to do the job. Takes about 10 to 15 minutes per fob.
There are no security codes under the seat. That would kind of defeat the purpose of them.
You have to get the security code from a Porsche dealer. You most likely will have to prove you own the car. I got my codes, but it took a few weeks, the dealer said they had to get Porsche USA approval first
