Can you guys point me to the procedure for removing the ECM/ECU from a 2004 99 TT CAB. I know it's behind the backseats on the driver side. I know you have to remove the carpet. I don't know the rest....
Thanks,
Michael.

I don't have a cab, but see if this is what you need:

Thanks raineycd, got it.
Is it true that the removal of the ecu can be detected by dealer?
Thanks,
Michael.

Yes, that's true.

Do you know how they detect it? Does the unit log the event? Visual inspection? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Michael.

First they can tell by looking at the physical ECU if the fasteners have been turned. Second, with PIWIS they can tell if the ECU has been flashed. There are several options to flash the ECU without removing it...through the OBD port....but I believe that if the Porsche tech. is savvy enough, he can tell if the ECU has been modified. (yes the mod is logged)
