"... The bar code that is sold with the remote is necessary for the technicians to use in order to program the remote to the cars anti-theft and central locking control system. If that bar code with the programming codes is lost then the remote fob cannot be used as intended... When bringing your car in to have one key programmed you should bring all the keys that you have. The other keys might lose their programming codes and get overwritten by the new key code...The car will not start unless the remote is programmed to the vehicle..."




I only have one key that came with the car. It works properly but I do not have the bar code that (I'm assuming) originally came with it. I have been wanting to buy another key (item 16 on my "Porsche to do" list) and get it programmed at the dealership but it looks like my original key may lose it's programming. If I don't have the bar code, does that mean my original key will now be un-programmable?
