Why Idaho customers mail in porsche alarm / immobilizer box clone

Idaho has roughly 1.9 million registered vehicles, and full-size pickups & 4x4 SUVs make up much of what Boise-area shops and owners mail us. European platforms cluster in Boise, Nampa, Idaho Falls, and most local Boise shops sub bench jobs like porsche alarm / immobilizer box clone to a specialist instead of tooling up for one car. Cross-country northwest — about 3 days each way.

Do you accept porsche alarm / immobilizer box clone modules from Idaho?
Yes — we receive modules from Boise, Nampa, Idaho Falls, Coeur d'Alene and the rest of Idaho regularly. With about 1.9 million registered vehicles statewide, full-size pickups & 4x4 SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Idaho.
Is there a porsche alarm / immobilizer box clone shop in Boise I should use instead?
Most Boise shops don't keep the bench equipment for porsche alarm / immobilizer box clone — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-country northwest — about 3 days each way.
Does Idaho vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Idaho requires emissions testing only in the Treasure Valley (Ada and Canyon counties); the rest of the state is exempt. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Idaho and federal requirements.
Mine got wet. Is the data gone?
Not necessarily. Water intrusion is a well-known problem on these cars, and the alarm module sits low enough to be an early casualty of a blocked drain or a soaked carpet. If the board still reads, we clone it before corrosion progresses further — that is the whole argument for doing it now rather than after the next rain. If it is far enough gone that nothing reads, we say so, and the job routes to our ECU advanced recovery service instead of a clone.
Do you supply the donor unit?
No — you source a used donor from eBay, a salvage yard, or a Porsche parts recycler, and we verify compatibility before you buy or ship. Match the Porsche part number on the label as closely as possible; early and late 986 units differ, and the label decides rather than the model year. Send us the listing photos plus your VIN and a technician confirms the pair at no charge.
