How did your indie program a key? My understanding thy would need special security codes that only a dealer can get form Porsche

The indie is a former certified Pcar tech. He needed the vin first and contacted someone ( presumably at the dealer where he used to work) for the access codes. cost me $200 for a new key and fob with programming included.

That was a pretty good deal
I paid $210 for key fob and programming using the old physical key

Not to take away from what you're doing, but that's actually kind of scary. It was my impression that to get a new or reprogrammed key the owner of the vehicle has to present a VIN and prove ownership of the car before a new or reprogrammed key can be issued. If things are that loose what's to prevent a thief from iphoning your Vin and representing himself to a dealer as an indy and getting a key to your car. I must be over looking something here but that seemed too easy.

The indie knows someone in a dealership somewhere. I had the ownership with me when I showed up with the car and also another working key which starts the car. We replaced and programmed a new head because I only have one key and it,s remote functions aren,t working. Perhaps he would have asked to see the ownership if I didn,t have a key which allowed me to drive the car already
