Thanks nine9six, I put in the relay today (the one behind the fuel gauge) and got my door buzzer. However, still can't get into programming mode where the programming fob light flashes after 15 seconds. (I do get the fob light goes out then back on once, is this the flash?)

My door top LED do settling into single blinks so I guess the alarm and immobilizer are working correctly?

My programming fob indicator on the dash does illuminate then go out. When the immobilizer primed, the fob light goes out after 15 seconds then came back on, but doesn't flash for me to put in the code.....pretty frustrating....guess nothing is easy with my first p-car....

After 15 second of being on, once the light goes out, do you turn ignition off and then on within five seconds as per the Porsche instructions?

I did, but I didn't get the feedback per instructions that " 1 Cycle the ignition switch (OFF and then ON again) within 5 seconds The Immobilizer warning light will light up and flash after 15 seconds". I never got the flashes.

Andy,
Sounds like your system is OK, and that its an error in the premiminary programming. This, in and of itself is a huge relief!

No it is not.

Yes, it would appear so.

When you do the on-off with the ignition key, are you going all the way off or just till the lights go off on the dash?

Also, it could be the mechanical ignition cylinder (where you insert the key), but lets not get ahead of ourselves...

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for taking time to answer my questions. I have actually tried both ways but none of them worked. I kind of started to suspect that it could be the ignition cylinder. The car does have almost 140k miles on it and sometimes it is hard for me to feel the "I" position...=( This is my first p-car so I don't really have any point of reference.
