I did some more searching and called acouple dealers. The dealer here in Nashville, Tn tried to charge me $470 for the unit. I had heard that Sunset Import (Porsche Dealer in FL) had them for $250. I called and it is true. I asked the guy why is the dealer in Nashville want $220 more and he said that Sunset Import only charges 15% on top of cost for parts and the dealers are able to set the price in the end. I guess I will break down and order it from them. It is going to be $175 in Nashville to have it installed compared to Sunsets $225 for instal. The guy on the phone couldnt tell me what unit was under the seat was untill I gave him my vin#. He said that different units will be under the seat depending on the options of the car. He said it is the central locking / imobilizer unit. All this b/c the owner that had it or the dealer didnt clean the drains.
