Dealership in NY for Alarm Code
Hey all,
I just ordered an additional key/remote for my 993 and I'm trying to find out the alarm code. Anyone know of a good dealer in NYC that can help me out? For free would be nice. MMC wants $90 because "alarm codes are twenty years ago, you need a computer to set a remote on these cars." Well I'll never spend money there again and I'm glad I had only spent $36 before finding out about their greed/incompetence. Can I get the code directly from PCNA? That would be fantastic.
Thanks for the help,
Charlie

Charlie, I'm pretty sure you have to fill out a documented request and provide proof of ownership (registration should suffice) and I beleive it has to be done at a stealership. The actual setting/ programming does not require a computer, but they will charge you close to a C note to do it.

I just showed up to the stealer with the car, new remote, and registration. It was fast and painless. It cost $50 as I was having the cab recall done. There is a thread on rennlist about programming the remote but I am not patient enough to do it.

I refuse to have it done by a dealer, especially one that refuses to give me the code and is unscrupulous/ignorant enough to know it can be done without a computer.
