Who is stevestrange and does he supply the kits ? I only bought a replacement alarm ecu off eBay with the same number on it as my original.
Did the working kit you bought have exactly
The same numbers as your existing ?

I had the same problem back in May, brought a complete set and it failed like yours so the seller sent me another complete kit, still didn't work, I figured someone at their end mixed up fobs. Brought another complete kit exactly matching from stevestrange last week and all good, I'm back on the road again.

Porsche in notts wouldn't take my word on what was wrong with the car so said they need to plug in and do a full diagnostic before they started work which may take an hour at £156 so I took another gamble on another breakers set and won. If you didn't know the dme new is £230, key fob is £115 plus half hour programming plus mr vat.

You need all three items otherwise it ain't gonna work mate, they have to match each other and come from the same car.
Stevestrange is a seller on ebay who breaks porsche, ferrari's and all nice cars and knows what he's doing. All my numbers matched on the ecu and dme and were also the same model and year type, it all has to be perfect.
Find a ecu + dme that match your numbers that also include a keyfob as you will need the pill inside. Always best to do initial start up too by turning ignition to position one for about 1 minute then off (for the throttle valve to recalibrate) then on for 15 seconds then off, then it should start ok.
Click the refund button and send your unit back mate.
I got mine all sorted for 175 notes.
