That's the catch.
This place has very cheap parts especially for cars that they don't get a lot of interest for in this area- ours.
I have to pull it myself.
But if it is the contactless and it seems to be, highly probable it should be ok I would think .

So are these ETM's plug and play ? I thought there was some programing based on vin. There is a new style in the JY near me that I'd snatch if the upgrade was easily doable.

From pouring through forums - if you match the 99-00 and turbo to turbo many times it seems to plug and play

It's actually in Pa where I am - moved from Maine.
Maine would definitely be easier to solve this in

So anyone in the Keystone State - Allentown?

They are well known and awesome pricing - you do have to be careful that you can show up and find the car gone, turned into Brave little Toasters.

As of yesterday the donor car was listed in the yard- spoke to a woman on the phone who confirmed it.

I might have a ride-- will keep you all posted.
And if I go I will bring back some pictures.

Read the yard rules because they are enforced. Hope it comes off easily.
