Yes, but you need the immobilizer and keys to match, otherwise this won't start the car?

Wayne,
If thats the case then why didnt I need those parts when I replaced this for a stock ECU? Also why would FVD sell just the ECU and not the other parts or even mention needing them?
I believe you can replace the ECU and, if needed, just have the immobilizer reprogrammed.

You're right Tim.

All you need is either the programming code or the VIN of the donating car so the dealer can look the codes up in the Porsche database.

I also swapped a used DME in my 986 andhad the DME re-coded to match the immobilizer codes.

Only thing you can' t do is re-program animmobilizer itself.
