But that is for the RFID pill, correct?
#3 in my list of 3 things in the key

Basically PIWIS is used to tell the car that , this particular pill is approved to disable the immobiliser circuit.
the pill inside is not programmed to the car. The data code in the pill never changes.

And then you still have to do the procedure sync the rolling codes of the Remote bit , to the car with the key inserted to the car. correct? #2 in the list of 3.


And it Is an arm and a leg for a key, But from my understanding that's because Porsche only rents out PIWIS, eg, you cannot buy it. right?
