Key Fob programming?

[RichRobby]

To clarify a little better, the working key light flashes quick, many times a second whereas the non working one flashes maybe twice a second at best. It has a new battery.
Also the circuit boards are slightly different between the two. Only had the car about 8 months so maybe it's not an original key and never has worked remotely.

Worst case. Probably isn't the right FOB.

I have the same issue. From what I read on the WWW, they have a life span. Over a certain number of uses they lock themselves or stop working(not sure which is true). Just like butt dialing, you can ?key dial?. That is the most compelling reason I have seen.

You can purchase a new one for around 125$. But to have it programmed by an Indy-tech, you need the immobilizer codes. Allegedly you can get them at the dealership. This is where I stopped. I haven't gotten around showing up at a dealer yet.

I believe the Pro version of the durametric can program also, which is what most indy- techs have I presume.

Forget exactly what I have tried, it was a while ago but suggestions such as putting it in the lock and turning it whilst holding various buttons etc has not 'reprogrammed' it.

I just wanted to add. The key has an RFID for the mechanical side. That should be very easy to duplicate because of the nature of the function. To be honest tapping into the RFID system & tumbler with aftermarket FOB would be more cost effective in the long term. A screwdriver with the proper RFID would start the car.

For starters, a Durametric WILL NOT program the immobilizer for a key. It can ONLY be done with PWIS or PST2 and even if you have one of those, you need the special security codes that only a dealer can get

If you can find a fob with barcode for $125, that is a great deal. The best $ I have found is $137. Without bar code, its useless

I have never heard that a fob just stops working after a certain number of uses. Switches may wear out and boards start to fail, but not at a certain number of uses

As far as the RFID, its a little "pill" in the key fob and easily moved from one to another
If you want to mess with this on your car, be my guess. Its not worth it

There are many threads here and other forums about key fob programming and replacememnt

Sorry I may have been wrong with the durametric. But new head for 130$ is a really good price.

Newport beach Porsche did program it for free. Still trying to revive my old key fobs. They even provided the immobilizer codes when I asked!

Linky no worky. I can't believe some guys on this forum think this censorship is perfectly acceptable and not disruptive.

Yeah the link won't work as long as you don't assemble it.
