Default Alarm Unit - Please HELP - IMMO EEPROM Deleted

Hello All;

I had a 1998 Porsche Carrera;
I had 2 keys; but 2 months ago; the backup key started not working.
So I decided to buy empty immo transponder; and make a new spare key;
By learning IMMO CODE.

I searched in the forums and decided to read EEPROM in M534 unit;
I removed the 93LC66 EEPROM;
And connected to pc; everything was successful...

But accidentally, I ERASED THE EEPROM withcout READING IT.

Now; my car does not work Sad
Is there any way to fix this; or to disable Immobilizer?
Please help; any kind of supports will be appreciated;
I can pay for it also; my car is not working Sad

You will need new key and program it to your new immobilizer or you will need to send in your ecu to a tuning place to disable the immobilizer lookup function. A lot of race car guys do the second option.

The only other way is if you have the serial numbers from your original two keys which is highly unlikely.

Do you know if the place where you got your new immobilizer has the original keys? If they do, you can just swap out the immobilizer "pill" to your key head as it should still be programmed into the new immobilizer you got.
