I didn't ask, but can we just send the two boxes to a dealer shop, or does the dealer shop need the car to recode. Also I'm in Des Moines, Iowa, so any known certified shops in this area that can do this work. I'm thinking Woodhouse in Omaha.
The dealer will think that you're a car thief unless you have the car, the ECU, and the immobilizer.

And don't forget some kind of proof of ownership.
