I see your point but, I swear I heard of someone with a PS2 doing it with a VIN and a bud at a dealership..

I had the security black box thing replaced in my car. This process would most likely be the same as a lost key, requireing programing the new box to recognize my key.. I had no white tag and the car was returned with my same old key.

So the only thing they had was my wasted security box, my car that wouldn't start , my key and, the VIN. So either they were able to extract the code from my tagless key (meaning white tag is not needed) or, the code was linked to my VIN deep in some official Porsche central clearinghouse.

I don't really don't know the truth about it, just using some logic. My guess is that your dealer would not tell you if they could just call in the VIN and get the code. Not when they can an sell you a $250 key.

Regards, PK
