Takes aprox 2 min e.g. deleting old key codes (if any) and reprograming your new one.

The Porsche Piwis Tester KTS520 looks like below. Anyone who does super/sport cars, porsche, has one. Just rign a few and ask if they have this unit in-house and just go for it.



In my region, nobody buy the rip-off and useless "READ ONLY" durametric kit. We just buy the above kit and end of the story About the same price if you know where to get it (Kts520 Diagnostic Tool-Kts520 Diagnostic Tool Manufacturers, Suppliers and Exporters on Alibaba.com)
I forgot the name of the shop, but there's one at
1900 Old Middlefield Way in Mountain View, who has a PIWIS
