In anticipation of this, I called my dealer today to see what it'd take to get them to help me with that VIN and password. No joy. They basically mocked me, that I'd think they'd just hand that out. They're kinda dicks over there.

So, question: some of y'all who've done this (TRK?) Do you have a VIN and associated pass code you can share? And if not, do you know a dealer who is supportive of this, who I could contact?

I'd sure like to know I've got a clear pathway before I pull the trigger on the PST2.

Your Dealer in Utah is the worst in the country. I've heard multiple stories from 986 owners. I have a 996 ROW tune on my street boxster but my DME and immobilzer came out of a 996. Pretty simple switch, but I'm not sure about putting a 996 tune into a 986 dme. The immobilizer will still know it's a boxster (I think). I just put a 996 intake on my 2.7 rallycross boxster and was going to also switch over to a 996 tune. Give me a few days and I can tell you what happened
