In the meantime, thanks for trying to be helpful elgyqc. While the post wasn’t directly on topic the poster was a pro in the 12V industry, exactly the kind of guy who would understand what I’m talking about and might know the answer. So I PMd him and hope that he is still around these parts.

In case anybody pops by this thread and does NOT want to talk about having a summer car, living in Texas, car theft histrionics, or the inappropriateness of remote starters in manual transmission vehicles, my technical questions remain.

Specifically:

1) Does anybody know how to install DEI 556U in 2001 Boxster? Eg, is the wiring Euro style, non-euro, or some other way (there’s a VAG tech bulletin from DEI)? Which transponder wire is cut?

2) Can the factory transponder ring be directly powered during crank (and ACC) to read the required key (if inserted in the ignition cylinder).
