Radio Code - New Procedure?

I just changed the battery on the Turbo. The input for the radio code came on, so I decided to drive to the local Porsche dealership to get the code. After 15 minutes of waiting around the service area, I finally got to talk to an advisor. I told him that I needed the radio code because I just change the battery. He told me that he would have to e-mail Porsche for the code and it takes two days for a response. He was only willing to do it at my next service appointment. He then turned around and played around with a new 2007 Porsche GT3 RS (which was real nice). Is the e-mail a new procedure? I thought they could pull it up on the computer.

IMO the guy you ran in to is a real di**. I had my radio and NAV code within 5 minutes of getting on the phone with a service guy at my local dealership. Once I proved to him I was indeed the owner he punched the VIN in the computer and gave me the codes. He then faxed me the page with the codes on it for future reference.

I don't have a bunch of experience with dealers in that area. However, my last P-car required some investigative work in that area of the world and 2 dealerships went out of their way to help me and maybe they can help you.

First was Newport Imports.

Second was McKenna Porsche

Sorry I don't have phone numbers for either off the top of my head.
