right; you need the VIN & proof of ownership from the donor car. with that information, a dealer can provide you with the immobilization codes for the donor. this information is required when re-flashing the ECU with the new program.
also, when you re-program, consider using the RoW program instead of the U.S.A. program. it does a few things:
1. eliminate clutch start switch; can start car w/ clutch out
2. eliminate second set of O2 sensors
3. eliminste secondary air injection
from an emissions standpoint, the car will still pass in the U.S., but will have a MUCH better chance of never failing.
when you decide to get the new program, board member tholyoak can do the ECU flash for you for a very attractive price.
