Changing the ECU ??

[MRBILLYUK]

If i change the ECU in my 182 for another ECU from a 182 am i right in thinking that my transponder keys from the original won't work with the new ECU ?

Would i have to use the keys for the new ECU ??

I don't think so, but you may need to unlock the other ECU that you are gonna to fit on. Just like the Group N ECU. Well, here is a link that may help for installation. And!!! Make sure you have the radio unlock code which should show on your owners manual.

Correct. Otherwise you could steal someones car by simply swapping the ECU with yours.

You'd need new keys synced to the ECU.

What if u get another ECU , get it unlocked then remapped ? Would my original keys work with the new remapped ECU ?

afaik its impossible to unlock the ecu,once its been programmed once that's it it's no good.only way you could do it would be buying a brand new ecu or going to a scrappys and taking to ecu,immobiliser decoder ring and uch

I was just thinkin that if i got a second hand ecu i could get it remapped to a grp n ecu rather than getting mine remapped so i can change the ecu back anytime i want , if i was sellin the car etc ....

If you buy a 2nd hand ecu order a grp n ecu off fastchip.nl and send in your 2nd hand unit as the donnor unit, you should then have your original and a grp n ecu that can be plugged straight in.
