I'm kind of curious as I think we can't use different ECU on the evo. Once EMS install, will it disable the immobilize function?

 

The imobilizer stuff is built into the stock ECU. You can not swap one stock ECU with another with out getting it reprogramed.

But since the stock ECU is what is doing the imobilizing, once it is gone and replaced with the AEM EMS, it is no longer functional. The AEM EMS does not care about the imobilizing features and functions, the car works fine with out it.

Ha. I found a bad thing about EMS.

So far, I only have praise rather than complaint on EMS.

 

I was told there was a seperate computer in line with the Ecu that controlled the EMS function and it was not in the Ecu. ?????

 

I wish it was possible to keep the immobilizer function with ems. I would be all over it. My first mod was an alarm with starter kill and there is still no way I would give up the immobilizer. Don't want this one stolen too.

 

Why, is there another replacement ECU that keeps that feature?

Nope, I don't think so.

Evo has this feature that sway away car theft (can't hotwire the car). I would like to have the feature keep if possible.

 

What is the liklihood that a thief who knows what type of cars not to steal is going to know you have an EMS?
If they try anyways, you can install any kind of kill system you like but it wouldn't be a difficult to defeat as the immobilizer, true.

 

Immobilizer still won't stop a flat bed but it'd be nice if they could incorporate it.

 

Wow, car thief nowaday use flatbed? If they can afford a flatbed, they don't need to steal our cheap 30k ride. lol

 

Easiest way to steal an EVO would be to buy an AEM EMS, tune it to run a stock EVO and then it is a matter of "plug and play, hotwire, drive away"

Or you can always put a bullchit map in the EMS when you leave it somewhere, so the car won't start.

 

I have the Dealer Installed Alarm on top of my stock alarm. What about that? What about key less entry? Does that still work???

 

LOL thanks for announcing that to the people that didn't know that.

 

i got it! pull the ems when u go into the mall, and take it with you, you know like they used to do it with the first Car stereo head units lol, just pull the whole thing and take it in with you... or not.
