Spec Boxster Wiring Harness clean-up?

[Jittsl]

There is a company here in Florida called the ECU doctors who can remove the immobilizer function from the silver box that contains the ECU. I have no idea how they do it but it allows you do away with the immobilizer box and ignition key altogether (two less things to o wrong and a few pounds saved). Brad may be able to explain it better.

So all you do is send them your ECU and they do some magic to it? Or does it do away with the complete relationship between the parts - so they could do it to any ECU that you then install in the car?

Yes. You send them your Box and they do something and then send it back. Or they can send ou a modified one (as they did in my case). After modification there is no longer a dependency on the immobilizer at all. Mine could be fitted to any 2.5 986 and the car would start.

What did they charge you for the new box?

Honestly can't remember but it wasn't cheap. Drop them a line. If you can't find them Let me know and I'll find their details.
