    Not off the top of my head and I think that it varies by implementation but I can look up what is standard. Headed out and can't get to it until Sunday but will post as soon as I can.

    Sounds like the battery has been flat for a long time and the rolling code has been lost

    Low batteries do not affect the rolling codes.

    I just found this thread. I've thought most guys with clones either keep the copy safely in some drawer and only pull it out in case the other is lost or rotate in and out frequently. I've sold my 360 and moved to the dark (Lambo) side so can no longer try things on my own car.

    Have we reached a consensus that the solution is to not use one more then three times without switching? Does the three presses in ten seconds not always work?

    I still program fobs, although not nearly as many because the big stash I had found ran out, and it would be nice to include some tips in the package.

    Hi there Mark, rotating the fobs (cloned and original) is the way to go. I neglected to do this for a while and was required to press the button on the one that I was not recently used close to 200 times to realign the code. Overall, a small price to pay for the insurance of an additional fob. I keep two key rings, each with a fob and a key and am now rotating use.

    Long term goal will be to obtain PIN and obtain a new 3 fob set from Ferrari. My particular car has had a number of owners, but I have a good set of service records that do not show replacement of the original ecu, so I am hoping that the original PIN from Ferrari will work.

    Didn't Eric and Taz find a way to extract the pin from a data dump?
