Are you saying I need a new immobilizer as well? Or that the old one will need to be coded as well. My mechanic quoted me the dealer price for a new ECU and then told me I could order the ECU used and didn't mention anything about reprogramming issues so I assume they have the equipment to do it. I was having a brain fart at the time and forgot to ask him about the coding issue

I just recently did a little searching on the Internet and remebered about the recoding issue so I couldn't talk to the shop about it because they're closed today. They are the highest highest regarded indie in town so my choices are them or the dealer. But the necessary equipment is not exclusive to the dealer, correct?

There are a lot of Boxsters and Caymans in their parking lot so I assume they have the proper equipment. I just remembered this coding thing on the weekend and I'm freaking out about it.

My issues here are less about cost and more about building a relationship with a good shop, something I don't think I can do with the dealer here
