Remember, most all OEMs, e.g. Porsche Cayenne, still use a mechanical relay in critical
areas such as activating the FP.

Bottom line: One still needs to carry a spare FP relay to have a little security!
I seem to recall that these units are pre tested at a higher draw than they will experience in operation, and that the electronics are all heavy duty. My gut told me to buy this before I even knew if they made one for the Carrera.

You too should listen to your gut. I just put the word out for people who might be interested. I am in no way a salesman for this product, just a happy consumer. And I am happy that people are still making new parts for our cars, and providing technical support and upgrades. I want to support these people, and encourage their efforts.
