Key Fob programming?

[amagalla]

Hello all,

I see all over the place Porsche owners with key fobs that they can't use because they don't have the program code for the fob. Because of this, they have to throw away a perfectly good, working fob, then buy a new one for $200, then have it reprogrammed. There are 2 eprom chips on the fob. Is there anyone out there with a universal eprom reader/programmer and a spare throwaway key fob that is willing to see if the program code is saved on one of the eproms, and if it can be rewritten?

Here are a couple of images of the fob board. The chip with the most promise is on the top right side.
