When to Remove the ECU Immobilizer Function
Before choosing the Immobilizer Removal service, it is important to understand that the Immobilizer Box on Porsche 996 and Boxster 986 models controls more than just the engine starting authorization. It also communicates with several vehicle functions including brake lights, turn signals, power windows, door locks, convertible top operation, and diagnostic communication with the DME.
If the original immobilizer module is water damaged or defective, it should first be properly replaced and restored before performing an immobilizer bypass on a street driven vehicle. Removing the immobilizer function without addressing the failed module can result in the loss of accessory functions and may prevent diagnostic scanners from communicating with the ECU.
In the case your immobilizer is water damaged, we recommend sending your ECU set, ECU, Immobilizer and remote fobs, for diagnostics.
