Is there a way to disable the Porsche Drive block on a 993?

I want to keep the remote entry portion and eliminate the signal to the motronic that says it is Ok to release the signal to the DME relay and the fuel injectors.

Is there a part number that replaces the drive block module under the drivers seat?
The Engineers seam to have done a really good job of "Protecting" us.

Not sure there are many 993 DIY'rs on this board. You may want to post on rennlist.org and Pelicanparts.com

Hey Joe,

I know I'm late for the party here on this subject but perhaps I can offer some guidance.

I don't know what year 993 you have so I am unable to offer specific suggestions about your car however the OB-2 cars ('96-'98) DB functions must be disabled in software. The '95 versions require a non-DB ECU (.163) to do this.

Thanks for the feed back. Looks like the Engineers did what they were told to do. "Make it so the car will ony work with one key".

My pleasure.

I can disable the Drive Block in software for you ('97-'98) but you will still need the key to control the perimeter alarm. One can program as many keys as you need to the Immobilizer unit in the car (its under the passenger seat).
