Does this method work for the 2009 Porsche Boxster models from 2010 onward?

Trying this out on my 2009 Porsche Boxster today—hoping it works.

Still can’t find the code for my 2009 Porsche Boxster. This might do it.

I’ve got a 2012 2009 Porsche Boxster, would this method still work?

Lost Keys
Costs vary widely: Basic keys: $50-$150, Transponder keys: $150-$300, Smart keys/fobs: $200-$800, Dealership replacements typically cost 20-50% more than locksmiths. Emergency/lockout service adds $50-$150.
