I had wondered if it was possible to remove the chip, and then read/copy the code on it - to then program other chips with. It's obviously just something generic which recognises the rolling code of the P38 FOB... anyone up for a bit of reverse engineering??
If you had a YWY500170 unit 'spare' (yeah, not likely at the current prices!) then I'm sure there is a factory in China that would take the actual unit, reverse engineer the coding, copy it, and put a few hundred in a shipment for you for ohhhh about the price of 1 unit from LR...
Not that I'm saying that ripping LR off is legal or ethical... oh wait... much like their doing to owners?
