Thx. My auto lock is happening even when I unlock, open, Putz for a bit, and close.

Mine did too sometimes, but I traced it to an intermittent door switch, i.e, "door open" wasn't being detected sometimes.

JPS Did you perhaps put in LED brake light bulbs? If so you need https://www.bergvillfx.com/products/led-smart-ballast or equivalent

Mine stopped working. Luckily there was a simple way to check the 9v battery and it needed replacement. Good to go. I like this device for so many reasons but mainly for valets in LA! Thanks again.

Right on schedule! Hard to believe it's been 2 years already. Mine's been running since Mar 2020 too so will see how long it goes. Thanks for the feedback.

Installed the Immo Block last Friday and I love it. No more embarrassing lock / unlock at the gas station or supermarket

I have purchased and installed the IMMO BLOCK on my 993s. It is one of the very best mods available, and probably the easiest to DIY. I am a completely satisfied customer!

Top add to my positive experience, Jay graciously talked me through (assisted by diagrams supplied by Jay) a failed clutch connection that was keeping my car from starting. Great guy, great product. The price is ridiculously fair. If you haven't replaced the gong relay with the IB, you will be so pleased when you do. (Just a matter of when.)

i think mine is due for a battery change - two year on a regular Duracell batt.

Probably a good idea. Mine is still running at 2-1/2years, but expect it to fall off the cliff soon. It should work down to below 6.5 volts.

I went with a fresh 9V Lithium in mine as Jay noted 3 years with such.

Question, I have made this IMMO mod with my 97 turbo, every since it seems as if my battery is draining very quickly, replacing car battery this week but was wondering if its due to the IMMO mod is pulling power or if the battery just went south. The battery is an interstate was only 3 yrs old.

Anthwp - No, not possible for the IMMO BLOCK to drain the car battery. It has it's own battery and no connection to car 12v.
