Need a spare fob?

Having trouble programming?

The F1-EZ comes pre-programmed and ready to use!

Fobs are traditionally added using the factory programming procedure to "teach" the fob’s ID to the immobilizer. This process requires the vehicle PIN code and the ability to successfully navigate a sequence of timed keystrokes.  This takes practice, and the alarm can easily be triggered, further complicating matters.   Even with practice, an increasing number of 993's CAN'T program fobs due to faulty ignition switch contacts.

Many turn to specialty shops for programming.  But this comes at additional cost and significant effort by the owner to remove and reinstall the seat, security bracket, and immobilizer—not to mention the risk of damage and vehicle downtime.  Faced with these challenges, many give up and drive without a backup fob.   

Sound familiar?

 What Makes the F 1 EZ Different? 

Normally, fobs gets paired to the immobilizer.  The F 1 EZ  gets paired to another fob.  Pairing to a fob that's already been through the programming process eliminates the need to repeat it, and makes adding a fob super easy.   Just send us a "donor" fob and we'll create a copy for you that's ready to use out-of-the-box.    For those that may be reluctant to send their only working fob away, the F2 may be a better choice — it's basically a "DIY version" of the EZ.   

How do I use the F 1 EZ? 

Using the EZ involves one small difference. Since the donor and EZ share the same ID, the immobilizer can only recognize one fob at a time. To activate a fob, simply press it three times within 10 seconds near the car. After that, it functions like any other fob—one press to lock, one press to unlock. The three-press sequence is only needed when switching between fobs. You can switch as often as you like, but the system is designed for situations where one fob is the "primary" and the other a "backup," meaning the three-button press would rarely be necessary.

  Our a 315MHz version for North American 993's is backwards compatible with Porsche P/N 993-618-259-02 and our 433MHz version is compatible with Porsche P/N 993-618-259-01.   Most, but not all, RoW 993's use 433 MHz fobs.  If unsure which one you need contact us for assistance.
