What I'm asking is; "Is there the possibility that the code is stored on one of the chips on the fob? And if so, is it recoverable if it can be read with an eprom reader?" If the programing code that is normally on the tag is stored in one of the eproms, and it's readable, that means all those paperweights are now useful fobs.
I do not think what is on the key is everything you would need. The keys came with IPAS code tags, some forty or so digits in length, which are fed into the PIWIS system where an algorithm creates a separate code in the car's security system, which will recognize the key code when it receives it. From what I have seen is stored on the car's security system, it is not simply the code in the key, it is more complicated than that, so I think you are still in the paperweight mode.
