IPASS Codes Impossible to Obtain?

I've tried two nearby dealers and they aren't willing to give me codes for a vehicle I own due to "security reasons". Despite the fact that the vehicle is not under warranty and I own it free and clear they aren't willing to divulge any IPASS codes in person or electonically.

I have a new key remote I want to program and don't want to pay a dealer since I have a PST2.

I also have a spare DME and want to play with some software for it, but don't want to mess up the good one I've got - so I have a spare.

Has anyone had success with any specific dealers (pm me?), or if that is not kosher on this board due to "security reasons" - then perhaps someone would be willing to share their "tactics" on how they have successfully obtained this information?

I can't imagine any reason why they wouldn't be willing to give me codes for a 10 year old MY 99' 996 C2 - unless they are afraid I might reverse engineer their security system or something and start stealing Porsche's left and right or re-write the sofware on DME's and immobilizers - and even then it would take a whole lot more than DME codes/etc. to do these things.

TIA!

Where are you located?

Did you show proof of ownership?

SoCal near LA. I provided the title. A dealer in Irvine and another in Norwalk.

I may try Roseville/Rocklin up in NorCal in a few weeks when I drive up there. They were kind enough to enable my OBC for free (after a fair amount of haggling and "accepting all liabilty"). Perhaps they would be more open? Perhaps I am just using the wrong tactic.
