It is used to have the key "FOB" programmed to work with your car. If they are working already then not much they would do for you, if you sold one of the key FOB to someone else they would require the serial number to have it reprogrammed for their car.

Anyway that is my take on it, I am sure others will chime in on the subject ;-)

The alphanumeric characters below the barcode must be programmed into the immobilizer in order for the FOB to lock/unlock the car.

Speaking of 'radio code,' I didn't find a card with that when I got my 2011 last week; is there some other place, like on the menu/radio display, that I can locate my code? Thanks.

I don't believe that they have a code anymore for 2003+. The radio checks the dme via CANBUS

Does anyone know the specifications of the 'oscillator' on the circuit board? I opened my key fob and the oscillator is missing. Please see attached pic with the two points marked up with circles. One of the micro-switches had come off so I soldered it (still need to clean out the pcb...). When I press the switches the LED does flash but none of the doors open. I think it is because I am missing the oscillator part.

I have just bought the 2004 Boxster and cannot lock it. Something is also wrong in the door lock mechanism as the key swings freely when put in the door. But that is another problem. Need to first fix the fob issue.

Also does anyone have a spare/junk pcb for the key fob (for a 2004 Boxster)?

Appreciate any help.
