Alarm Immobiliser

I have a 92 968 couple with the original immobiliser, the small electric key which fits into a socket just below the ignition key to turn off the engine immobiliser. It can take a few attempts to get it to work and I would like to see if any one has replaced their original alarm/immobiliser with a more modern radio controlled system?

I have seen some of the 969s that have remote controlled door locks and assume that this is an upgrade that has been fitted. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks
 
Very easy to do, just ring a reputable imobiliser fitter and you can have an imobiliser fitted that works the door locks, widows, sunroof etc. The choice is yours depending on your budget. It is quite easy for a competent auto electritian to remove the original Porsche imobiliser as well.
 
If you do a search on here and Porsche968uk you'll find the supplier of the little immobiliser keys - they're near Sevenoaks, Kent (Riverhead IIRC.)

Spot on - they sorted out spare keys for my 964. Recommended.
 
A new immobiliser key may not cure the issue of the immobiliser not activating/de-activating as it should, the switches in the immobiliser can fail making it harder and harder to start the car (I have just had this on my S2) The most economic route is then to have a good auto electrician remove the old immobiliser.
 
I have a '94 968CS and am also wanting to get rid of the standard immobiliser and replace it with a Cat 1 alarm. The two I have come across are the Toad AI606 and the Clifford Concept 650 - does anyone have any info on these? What do people recommend? Or is there a third (or forth) choice?
 
Hi Tom, I like the TOAD Ai606 and wanted one for my 968 Sport because it was such a reliable alarm, I spoke to the guys at Motorguard in Saltley (near EMC) who suggested I have the Hornet MAXX 1 which is a more modern design.
It's been reliable for the past two years, I'd recommend having one fitted. I believe Hornet is a subsidiary of Clifford which perhaps hints at Hornet alarms being well made with good aftersales service too . . .
 
Thanks for that, I was erring toward the Toad purely because it was cheaper and I've used one before, I'll check out the Maxx.
Tom
