Default Can I purchase original activation codes online?

I just need to replace my clockspring and apparently dealer cartels require an activation code for the stalks to work. I checked code-porsche.com and they don't seem to have this option. If I can get them I'll just buy a PIWIS and be done with this nonsense.

PIWIS II and III will still require the activation codes. Which one do you need? I am betting it is the cruise control.

Default Quick update

I decided to try and call my dealer since I’ve serviced the car there and I bought my new clockspring from them. I was able to get them to send me the enabling codes for no charge.

I was able to get them coded and now all is working. YMMV
