I would be willing to bet there will be an issue with the different DME version. CA's newer system can detect modified DME programing files such as aftermarket flashes, which implies that they have to know what is supposed to be in the DME for any given model year vehicle. If that is in fact the case, the system should see a DME file that differs from the factory version, and reject the car as being modified.

An 01 car would have partial CAN Bus technology, the 06 car would make much wider use of CAN Bus to communicate with the DME and all the vehicle control modules as well as the instrument cluster.
