Porsche immobilizers are crap

This is the 2nd Porsche i have had with a standard Porsche immobilizer, and every time it gets really cold the crap thing will not turn off. Need to warm the whole car up somehow so it will work. Can start the car so thats no good. How the hell are you supposed to get to work in the winter months if you can't start the car.

I think they are all the same Rob.

Disconnect it.

What Dave said. Doesn't matter who makes them, they are all naff. You will have to use the Chavdeo until it gets warmer!

Mondeo has died, that does not like the cold aswell!!!

My Puma starts perkerly every morning, perhaps you should get one

What is up with the Frord?

What a bummer, have tried the 924 after 2 weeks and started 1st time

Hope you get it sorted.

Went out for the frst time in 10 days and started first time after being left to the eliments. I love German engineering

Yup. Managed to crank up the '44 yesterday after 14 days of inaction on the driveway. Was pleasantly surprised!

However, I am still amused that my (non-Porsche) immobiliser deems it necessary to disable the horn circuit.

I made my 'own' Immobilizer for the 924, find the positive feed for the electric fuel pump, (its at the back of the fuse board) break into it, and fit a key-switch, which you then hide somewhere within the dashboard area..... has work a treat for the last 19 years of ownership...

I thought the Fuel Pump relay was the official Porsche immobiliser!

I now have 3 porkas and 1 working FPR

PMSL!

you hit the chuffing nail on the head there chris

I'd rather walk

Plus never had a problem starting mine, but then it has an aftermarket immobi not the Porsche one
