04 boxster s engine swap

Thanks everybody for the replay
I replaced everything under the seat, immobilizer and all the connectors also the air bag module, etc. Remember that all the parts are coming from the 03 so I think that the next step is to replace the ignition switch or program the key to communicate with the immobilizer. The dashboard lighted it up and most of the electrical parts are working, lights, blinking, stop, etc. The only thing that is not working right now is the doors windows, but we know that we need to replace the doors plugs and retested. I am planning to go over there on Thursday, so I will keep you posted. Any other advice that I need to keep in mind?
Thanks in advance

OK you said you replaced the immobilizer. Did you get a key fob (the plastic part the key blade goes into) with the immobilizer and the ECU from the same car. Generally you can purchase all 3 from the same car which should be the same model and year as your car. In your case a 2003 or 2004 Boxster S with an automatic transmission would be the best match.

Pull the blade of the old key and insert it into your 03 FOB.

I think that will work for you.

This link shows how to remove the blade, and install it. the key fob may be different in the video but they work the same as the older style Boxster ones

I can use all the parts needed from the 03 and I have both cars side by side at Mussante Motor Sports. I drove the car from RI to Connecticut, around 2 hours to go to Mussante Motors Sports, so the car was working. So if I need any part i can use it.
