Programming is a very loose term, and if that is all you need to "start your car", then you shouldn't have to "pay a fortune" maybe only $300.

All they would do is get the codes from Porsche to "link" the Immobilizer and DME.

Good Luck.

Please update when this matter is resolved. We like to know what you paid as it seems the pricing is all over the place, especially when only Porsche has the codes and you are at the mercy of the dealership.

$300 is a fortune just to press some keys on a test set to re-align some electrons. This really should cost no more than $75. My indy will do it for regular customers at no charge.
