- If control unit requires replacement, new control unit must be coded. It will be necessary to obtain immobilizer (drive block) code and teaching code from Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) prior to replacement. To obtain codes, complete code request form (Technical Bulletin, Boxster bulletin group 9, number 9801) from nearest Porsche dealer. Proof of ownership (valid title or registration) is required. Original transponders can be reused, but require re-coding to new control unit.
- Install control unit. Connect Porsche System Tester 2 and turn on. Select BOXSTER and begin control unit search sequence. Select ALARM SYSTEM, TEACHING FUNCTIONS AND IMMOBILIZER. Enter 16-digit immobilizer code obtained from PCNA and press ENTER. Confirm code entry by pressing F7.
