If you change the alarm module you will have to change the DME as well, so that the immobiliser codes match.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 2Original post

Richard is away until Wednesday. I suspect you are going to have to trailer the car to get the VIN check done. AFAIK, the immobiliser is part of the ECU, not the alarm & by all accounts you would have to virtually take the car apart to change that. Porsche are the only people who can code the key & it's all done by linking up the car to a computer in Germany. I don't think there's any other way & that's why cars get stolen with the keys these days.

POST 3Original post

I think the immobiliser is part of the Alarm control unit found under the passenger seat. This can be changed as it often goes wrong/gets wet.

POST 4Original post

Just popped in to an internet cafe! The immobiliser is built in to the alarm system. The DME (ECU) is also coded with an immobiliser code to match the alarm control module. The alarm module is programmed with the key transponder (and the remote) codes. If you change the alarm module you will have to change the DME as well, so that the immobiliser codes match. You can buy a new transponder and remote, but to program them you need the vehicle IPAS security codes from Porsche, which they record with the VIN details. Once you have these codes you can program the alarm module with a PST2 or PIWIS tester. A good independent should be able to get the codes and do the programming, or you can take it to an OPC, but as you say they need proof of ownership.

POST 6Original post

You might want to get the VIN of the donor vehicle too. You would need it to get the security codes if you wanted to add key remotes, transponders, or make any changes in the future.
