A key can be made from your VIN. I know that for a fact because I ordered a pre cut key based on my VIN. Porsche calls it a stipulated key. So instead of buying a key blank you order a key cut for your locks. Problem for a thief is that it will not start the car.

As said, the key has to then be programed for the car. To do that you need a key learning code from Atlanta and as far as I know they only give the code to dealers. Then you need a PST2/PIWIS to code the control unit. I know 2 independent shops with a PST2 and Porsche will not give them key learning codes. They have to go through a dealer who then gets them from Atlanta.

So when it comes to Porsche the gone in 60 seconds is just a Hollywood dream.
