Perfect. Thanks for all the information. Now the guy before me got Porsche to put in a new Immobilizer, and also a new Key. So I have a line on a DME from a 1998 Porsche, would I be able to match it up to that brand new immobilizer that they put in? Or do they have to be part of a set from the 98, because I imagine they replaced it with a 1997 immobilizer, but if its brand new, it should be able to be programmed I think, or no.
I just don't want to buy another computer and find out it won't work. The98 is also an automatic, and mine is a standard.
Anyways thanks for all the help so far, hopefully I can be cruising in this thing by summertime.
