Searched couldnt find anything. My ? is can you just swap an ecu from another car and it'll work or is there programming involved or what know? Like if i buy a used ecu is there anything i should be aware of or what. I heard something about the vins need to be programmed into the ecu or something.

 

the immobilizer code is the only real issue...you could disable it and that would work fine

search in the ecuflash forum

 

06 will only work in 06 cars since it is a 4 plug. I would stick with 04/03 ecus for 03/04 cars and 05 should stick with 05 ecu since there is differnces in the rom.

 

There has to be somebody who knows if you can simply swap and ecu over or not?

 

? you just got two very good answers....

 

your answers are post 2 and 3.... what else you want...

 

Ok but since theres an issue with the immobilizer code, it wont start then right? Then what do i need or what can i do. Can i buy an custom ecu or something? I just need a lil more in depth answers from ppl who know.

 

yes it wont start.......you can desable the imobilizer via ecu flash.......you dont need to buy any custom ecu..........we know

If you have ecu flash and a tatrix cable you can do it,,,,,

 

My friend told me ecuflash is a free program that i can download but anyone know where i can get it.

From your posts I would suggest spending some time reading the sub-forum: ecuflash, there is a ton of information - search / read. The last thing you want is to really f-up an ecu/car because you changed something you shouldn't have.

 

One more ? and i should leave everyone alone, the latest version of ecuflash is 1.42 right and thats the one i should get? Thanks everyone for all the help. I dont plan on mapping or tuning or tinkering with it much .

 

swap the ecu at the dealer and told them to reprogram ed..simple as that i did it twice.
