I just bought a 2002 Boxster at an auction that has a missing immobilizer (control unit). I've called several dealers and this unit has jumped in priced dramatically this past year to $1,700 plus $700 core (which I don't have since it's missing). So, my question is... if purchase a salvage package... immobilizer, ECU, ignition unit, door lock chamber, and keys... all matching - will this work? I'm buying this from eBay and was told that it should be plug and play. Does that sound right??
