I bought a 1999 Porsche Boxster (986) around 2 years ago and it didn't start. I found that the Immobilizers was wet and corroded so I found a used Immobilizers on eBay and after identifying the chip that stored the memory I copy pasted the original code from my Boxster into the used Immobilizers. Now my car runs and drives. The fix costed me around $200 USD.

I want to know who has run into a problem where water got into the cabin and then the car didn't start possibly due to the Immobilizers being done for.

I want to see if we can figure out how this system works and possibly get a few more Boxsters on the road.

Thanks for your time.
