Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

When I had new keys programmed my dealer asked me to bring in all the keys I had - so I did and they were able to see which ones were using which slots and overwrite the ones that weren't in use.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The dealer will program a new remote key with the barcode, but says my existing key remote will stop functioning since the barcode is not available. Is this true and if so is there a way around it so the existing key will still function?

POST 2Original post

I think they are B.S.ing you. The car gets programmed to accept the new key. If they know what they are doing they would not deprogram your original key and the car would accept either key. Sounds fishy to me...

POST 3Original post

A 996 will hold 5 key codes (RFID pills) and 5 remote codes. When NEW, 3 key (RFID pills) slots and 2 remote slots are filled/used.. If no extra keys (RFID pills) have been programmed to the car, you will have "free spaces/slots" to add the extra keys/remotes.= no problem If additional keys (RFID pills) and remotes have been programmed, all the Slots MAY be filled, if all slots/spaces are filled, then the new key will have to "overwrite" an old one. This is no problem on the RFID pill (because it can be read with PIWIS), but will be a problem for a remote with no bar code, since there is no way to know which old one will be ok to overwrite.. So basically it depends on whether you have any free spaces left in the control unit..
