Anybody installed Bergville remote?

Great info! Thanks for taking the time to experiment.

I wish there was just a way to disable all this stuff once the car got to a certain age or value. Maybe sing a liability waiver for the insurance company if needed. The whole security/immobilizer seems to cause folks a lot more headaches than the security it brings.

You shouldn't have to buy a $500 key for a car that is gettable for $5,000 these days. Who's it really protecting?

Porsche Jacksonville (nee Brumos) quoted me around $365 for a new key, cut, and programmed (both immobilizer and keyless entry), for what it's worth. Labor was almost half of that. Many independent shops that have a PIWIS or PST2 can code keys to the immobilizer.

I finally got the unit in the mail. The install was pretty straightforward once you figure out how to disconnect the harness for the seat and read the instructions thoroughly The wires from the Bergville unit connect to wires in both of the harnesses that go to the controller. It seems to work fine and the lights even flash when it locks and unlocks. I always forget to take pics as I go. Its not even Christmas and the Boxster project list has dwindled to a fuel filter change and the installation of a new front rubber flapper thingy.
