A silly question I imagine, but can the immobilizer be tested? can it be by passed? Or am I stuck going to the dealer on this one?

Other than reading the codes, which you say you have none, its off to someone that has the correct Porsche tester.

My dealer reprogrammed my key for free, when my immobilizer threw a code saying the transponder code was wrong (new key).
