I feel very similar, unfortunately I have not yet found any tangible evidence that would point to it. (No error entries)

This seems a good idea.
I'm searching for a complete set.
But some guys where you can buy such sets are really very strange.
The last one I asked, offered a set of immobilizer, key and "airbag control unit".
When I asked about the engine control unit, he said that the engine control unit doesnt have immobilizer.

Austria, east of Swizzerland, south of Germany.
Ohh thats a good tip.
Maybe they are selling those kits I need.

There are already two of us.
I really dont have any idea how to find out that.
The car is definitifely a german car, no US-reimport.
The spare ECU I bought is from germany too.
They both have exactly the same Bosch.- and sparepartnumbers. (see pic attached)



I think without a 100% good set of key, ECU, and immobilzer it is impossible to go on and exclude this as cause of failure.
