milliemax:

just an fyi. when i got my new ignition switch and installed it, i too thought it was bad because looking at the old one and the new one they did not seem to line up.

the old one was \ whereas the new one was closer to __ (see the pic, old one on the left, new one on the right. both held in the same position)

that however was the problem. the old one was way worn out and did not turn all the way to where it should have. it took a little work but then slid right in.

what you got was the entire assembly (porsche does not sell just the electronic ignition piece alone). as has been stated, the assembly is a lot more involved to change.

it's no fun being upside down, but once i got myself wedged in at the right angle the actual change was quick and easy. since then no issues and the feeling of the key in the ignition is a lot more solid.
