I believe if you had a good M535 immobilizer, and the chip in your immobilizer was good. You can solder your chip into the good immobilizer. I'm not good at soldering, so I can't say I've done that method. It's a lot easier and maybe even cheaper swapping out the ignition cylinder, door cylinder, immobilizer and ECU/DME. Only takes 30 minutes and that's mostly replacing the door lock cylinder. Qualityporscheparts is selling a part in his set (996.618.159.01) that doesn't need to be replaced. There's no need to replace that part. All you need to replace is the ignition cylinder and all you need is a paperclip to do that. I would suggest that you find a set that matches your car's year and transmission. You'll need to find a 97-99 set. I might be wrong about the transmission though. I've never checked to see how well a ECU/DME from an auto works on a manual or vice versa.
