I replied back to your inquire on my thread. I have a M531 and M535 immobilizer set for $400+shipping. I'm guessing you have a M535 as you say your right door is unlocked. Generally from what I've seen M531's have keyed locks on both sides as where the M535 only has one on the driver's side. You'll need to verify what immobilizer you have but most boxsters have the M535. Another option is to contact Qmalas on this forum and see if he can repair it. Many people have had good success with him fixing their wet immobilizers. If you text me at 512-925-9171, I can give you his number

Thanks Guys! I will contact you for the number/parts shortly,itsnotanova.

I took things apart today and found out that I had not connected the IMU properly. The blue connector disconnected itself.

But I was able to get the car started. However, the locks, and windows dont work. I am able to car the car, operate the hood. Is this because only part of the circuit was water logged?

I do have the M535. If I change the set, does it change the VIN etc of the car on the software side of things?
