    I just bought this F355 and in the paperwork there is an unopened envelope with the Alarm PIN code inside. I tried to learn to start the car with the key and the pin and failed multiple times. I looked at the VIN and it is ... not even my VIN on my car. I guess somewhere along the line a dealer mixed up the envelope. So, now I am PIN less.

    OK, so, Who ever has an F355 with a VIN ZFFXR48A1V0107141 ... I got your PIN. Contact me, it won't even cost you $500.

    That is bad luck. At least you were kind enough to offer it back to the owner. Hopefully the same will happen to you.

    Mitchell- I guess that explains why it would not start with the PIN.

    Not much hope right now if you do need your original PIN. FNA got flooded out and their computer system is dead.

    Eric355 and I are close to being able to read PINs from fobs. Do you still have all three fobs?

    Nope, I got one black fob, one key. i bought another black fob and both of them are in the middle of the Atlantic going to France for Eric to work his magic. That is why I wanted to start the car with the PIN today and failed.

    FedEx can't find Eric's house in Aureville. Funny thing is I put the address on google satellite map and it went right to the house. Why Fedex can't find it is ... beyond me.

    It would be wonderful if you and Eric can read out the PIN from the fob.

    Mitchell- No red fob, no PIN, unfortunately, since the PIN is only in the red fob. Once you get your cloned fob back, Eric can make additional duplicates without having to have your original. So if you send him another black fob, he can clone it from the file on the one you sent him.

    I sent my fobs snail mail (~$7), and they got there, but took a long time. Not the same as having your only fob in the mail, however. Last black goes out as soon as the 1st black one gets back. Red clone works great.

    I had the same problem but FEDEX found the right address and charged me an extra 15 bucks those suckers. I know Eric knows where he lives it is FEDEX that is messed up.

    107141 is listed in the 355 registry as being a 1997 Rosso Corsa/Tan 6-speed Spider in Teterboro, NJ. I wonder if its owner has your PIN. You should check with Robbie to see if he has contact info for the owner.
