OK, that makes some sense. So...
#1: Order new fob. Easy.
#2: Order new electronics. I have no idea where to get that.
#3: Put old pill and old key shank in new fob with new electronics. Easy.
#4: Program electronics to the car. Where? Locksmith? Dealer-only?
Thanks for being patient with me. I've worked a lot with the GM fobs in the past and there's a way to program them to the car using a sequence of on/off with the ignition switch and possibly some other voodoo. I wasn't sure if the same thing exists in the Porsche world, or if the dealers (pardon the pun) have a lock on that.
