Stupid question and an Interesting Challenge

Could anyone here explain why a newer Porsche key fob would not be able to be paired with an old 986 immobilizer?

I found this article
How to Install a Start Button | Civic Junkie
and it got me thinking about the possibility of having a true keyless start button in our cars.

Now, my (very rudimentary) understanding is this (and it's probable that i'm wrong somewhere):
The pill sized device inside the key fob is what will allow the car to stay on, but the programming of the immobilizer with the remote is what allows the remote to open the doors and trunk, etc.

So if a keyless start button was installed, and the "pill" was to be relocated inside a newer Porsche fob that was paired to our 986 immobilizer, it could work like the newer Porsche models do now, right? :dance:
